Jenna Ortega’s return for ‘You’ Season 4 STOPPED by ‘Wednesday’

Jenna Ortega wanted ‘You’, but got work on ‘Wednesday’.

This year, Jenna Ortega could be prepared to defeat Ghostface once more, but Joe Goldberg is still concerned about her.

Sera Gamble, the showrunner of the popular series "You," announced that Ortega, who played Ellie Alves in Season 2, was hoping to return for Season 4.

Ellie is mentioned in Season 3 as someone Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) still keeps in touch with and gives money to. Ellie was one of the few of Goldberg's confidantes who survive his friendship.

However, there were significant scheduling difficulties with Ortega's other Netflix series, "Wednesday."

“We wanted to bring Ellie back and we heard, ‘Oh, Jenna is doing some show,'” Gamble told IndieWire.

“It’s been just such a pleasure to see Jenna this year. We have ideas for Ellie if her schedule allows her to visit us again.”

Gamble hinted at other possible Season 4 appearances, “Any character who’s not dead who knows anything about Joe, it’s fair game to try to exert any justice. And any character who is dead, he has a really active imagination.”

“These are some busy, in-demand actors,” Gamble said of the “You” cast.

Ortega had expressed her desire to repeat her Ellie role to Teen Vogue in 2019.

“It would be amazing to see Ellie come back and take control of her life,” Ortega said.

“I just want her to be an even bigger badass. I don’t want her to come back and be extremely vulnerable and sad. We have to remember that even though people still find Joe somewhat charming, he’s evil, he does terrible things, and he gets away with them because of his gender and race and his position in society. [Ellie] has so much potential and so much talent that she shouldn’t waste because of him.”
