MTV's newest scream queen, Jenna Ortega, teases new Netflix series 'Wednesday'

Rising scream queen Jenna Ortega continues to establish herself as a mainstay of the horror genre while promoting multiple upcoming spooky projects.

Hot off Ortega's victory for most frightened performance at last weekend's MTV Movie and TV Awards, Netflix released a teaser trailer for "Wednesday," starring the 19-year-old performer as the titular goth teen from the "Addams Family" franchise.

Directed by horror veteran Tim Burton, the eight-part spinoff series will follow the brooding Wednesday Addams on a mission to solve a supernatural mystery from her parents' past.
