Jenna Ortega begged to be a producer on Wednesday's first season aged 18 as 'it made sense for her to be involved' - as actress reacts to backlash over 'changing lines on set'


Jenna Ortega has revealed she begged to be a producer on season one of Netflix hit Wednesday in a candid new interview with Vanity Fair .

The actress raised eyebrows when she admitted she was not always happy with the script and began tweaking her lines in an interview on the Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard podcast. Jenna admitted she was too overwhelmed with other tasks, including learning to fence and play cello, to work with a choreographer on the dance, and was allowed to create the moves herself. Even though he would not be returning to Wednesday, he does have other projects in the pipeline, including Winter Spring Summer or Fall — a romantic comedy he filed with Ortega in Utah earlier last year and is set for release in June 2024.
