It feels like yesterday since we photographed the talented Jenna Ortega for BELLO, it was also one of our last photoshoots back in 2020 before everything shut down. When we asked her what would be her dream role, Jenna answered “A character who is impactful and leaves their mark in film” Dreams do come true! Jenna will take on the iconic role of Wednesday Addams in Tim Burton’s Netflix version coming out November 27!
Synopsis
The series 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.
