Jenna Ortega is an American actress whose career spans television and film, with a public profile strongly connected to globally watched series. She began her professional acting work in 2012, making her earliest on-screen appearances in network television, and steadily built momentum through roles across different genres, including drama, comedy, and suspense-leaning projects. Over the years, she has developed a reputation as a young performer with sustained screen presence and a clear ability to move between formats.

She became widely known through major series exposure, first as the lead in a Disney Channel family comedy and later for portraying Wednesday Addams in “Wednesday”, which premiered in 2022 and significantly expanded her international recognition. In parallel, she held a recurring role for several years as the younger version of Jane Villanueva on “Jane the Virgin”, strengthening her visibility in long-running television and connecting her work to a broader audience.

In her more recent phase, she has been closely linked to key collaborators within the same flagship project, including director and producer Tim Burton and co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays Morticia Addams in the series. In 2025, beyond leading the cast, she also took on producing duties for the show’s second season, signaling a wider creative involvement behind the scenes alongside her on-camera work.
