Wednesday to Scream: The 15 Best Jenna Ortega Movies and TV Shows and Where to Stream Them

Published on

Jenna Ortega sky-rocketed from a young star to a mainstream phenomena after her mesmerising performance as Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s smash-hit tv series, Wednesday. With a host of live action and animation projects under her belt, read on to discover the 15 best Jenna Ortega movies and TV shows and where to stream them.

The American actress started out as a child star in comedy-drama series such as playing young Jane in Jane the Virgin and Harley Diaz in the Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle.

From her early memorable roles, Jenna Ortega went onto star in a host of Netflix projects such as the hit thriller series, You, and the family friendly comedy, Yes Day, before she landed the titular role in Wednesday in 2022.

Directed by Tim Burton, the horror comedy spin-off from The Addams Family went onto become the most-watched series on the streaming platform of all-time, surpassing Stranger Things. To date, it’s been viewed for over 1.7 billion hours and earned Ortega nominations at the Golden Globes and Emmys for Best Actress and Best Series.

Alongside this, Jenna Ortega is a certified slasher queen, after appearing in the long-running slasher franchise Scream, Scream VI, as well as Insidious: Chapter 2 and Ti West’s X. As the fifth instalment in the Scream series, the film is set 25 years after the original Woodsboro murders from the 1996 cult classic Scream, when a group of teenagers are targeted by Ghostface and it all links back to those original murders.

Featuring Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Jack Quaid and Courteney Cox, the nostalgic film grossed $138.9 million on a $24 million budget, while its sequel, Scream VI exceeded that to take $169 million on a $33 million budget.

Though Ortega has thrived in cult horror franchises and even leaned into this casting in Sabrina Carpenter’s viral music video, Taste, she’s also shown the breadth of her talent across a host of genres.

Recently, Jenna Ortega starred alongside Martin Freeman in the erotic thriller, Miller’s Girl, and the drama The Fallout and is set to star in the long-awaited sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The comedy horror continues 36 years after the original 1988 Tim Burton movie, which was a critical and commercial success and went onto become an animated series and a stage musical.
