The co-creators of the show Miles Millar and Al Gough shared their plans for the second season in an interview with an American entertainment news website.
Miles Millar said Latina actors with such brilliant skills as Jenna Ortega don’t come every day.
“It’s so rare to find an iconic [Latina] character of this stature,” he said. “We really try to find ways to [highlight that] authentically.
“What would Wednesday listen to when she was growing up? What would [Selena] Gomez be playing? And finding moments where we could really make it feel like a girl who’s grown up in New Jersey with a Latino parent, and how would that resonate with her as a teen? Certainly this season we’re looking for more ways to explore that.”
