Jenna Ortega's departure from "Wednesday" Season 2 was reportedly planned for months before the SAG-AFTRA strike and is unrelated to the firing of Barrera. The production dates for the upcoming season are still pending confirmation. Furthermore, Ortega has outstanding filming commitments for Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice 2," which was disrupted by the SAG-AFTRA strike and requires a few more days of shooting to be completed.
