Appearing on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon this week, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star Jenna Ortega told the host that she would "love" to be a composer, and that she uses music to connect with people on her movie sets, bringing a synthesizer onto set with her to play music for her co-stars. Appearing in support of a movie scored by film and TV legend Danny Elfman, Ortega was then quizzed on which film scores were her favorites (two of Elfman's ended up topping the list).
"I would love to be a composer," Ortega told Fallon. "I love film scores, I love everything about film scores, and composing is so interesting to me."
"I have a synthesizer, yeah I do. Sometimes I like to bring my synthesizer to set because I feel like music is the best way to get to know somebody. You come on these sets and you see people that you've never met, and then you get close to them for two months and you never see them again. So I brought the synthesizer because I wanted to play music for people, or get a feel for what they like and then I can make a playlist and get to know them a little bit better."
The cast of Wednesday Season 2 will include Ortega, Steve Buscemi, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Joanna Lumley, Christopher Lloyd, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Hunter Doohan, Fred Armisen, Thandiwe Newton, Victor Dorobantu, Billie Piper, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo, Georgie Farmer, Moosa Mostafa, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Isaac Ordonez, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah Taylor, Frances O'Connor, Joonas Suotamo, Jamie McShane and more. A recent report has indicated that Percy Hynes White, who drew controversy in 2023 after being accused of sexual abuse , will not be returning as Xavier Thorpe.
Per its official synopsis, Wednesday is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams' years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday's attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago -- all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.
There are no details about the story for season 2 yet, but fans are waiting for that trailer to drop. Wednesday season 2 is expected on Netflix in 2025.
