Hot off the news that Netflix has renewed its record-breaking new Series WEDNESDAY for a second season, Toronto was also so lucky to host its star Jenna Ortega back in the City over the Holidays. The Actress has seen a wild spike in popularity since the Series’ release, propelled by a viral TikTok dance challenge she inspired, taking the world be storm. Even Lady Gaga, whose “Bloody Mary” in a sped-up version, has been attributed to the sensation, couldn’t resist.
Ortega visited her Castmate Percy Hynes White who stars on the Series as Xavier Thorpe, catching-up and spending quality time together over the break. Thorpe is based in Toronto which hopefully means more reasons for Ortega to visit Toronto!
Fans and paparazzi sighted Ortega and White exchanging a goodbye hug, before leaning-in to sign one autograph for a lucky fan. She donned a Louis Vuitton handbag and a black trench coat before quietly making her way out of the City, casual and comfortable.
We’re sure you’re just as stoked for this upcoming season season of WEDNESDAY, but until then we get to see Ortega this March in SCREAM VI where she once again plays the role of Tara Carpenter.
Some candids. Don’t laugh, please! We tried giving her space but still wanted a memory. Love her.
We’ll always have this one at least from 2019 WE DAY!
Following the record-breaking success of its first season WEDNESDAY is coming back for a second season, as just announced today! More torture to come! YAY! Did you know Jenna Ortega, star of WEDNESDAY spent her Holidays in Toronto?
