Now that Wednesday Season 2, Half 1 is out, we lastly get to return to Nevermore Academy. Folks, together with myself, are having fun with the horror-infused follow-up in addition to the remainder of the Addams Household having extra display time. Nonetheless, it is not possible to disclaim how a lot has modified between Season 1’s 2022 premiere and Season 2’s launch on Netflix’s 2025 schedule. That reality was highlighted too, as Netflix posted side-by-side photographs of Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) and Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley) that showcase simply how a lot they’ve actually grown up.
The side-by-side picture comes from Netflix Nordic’s Instagram, and it highlights a handful of variations for each Pugsley and Wednesday. Whereas each have different-ish hairstyles (Wednesday’s bangs have a starker silhouette, for instance) and misplaced kid-like options of their face, Ordonez’s development spurt is essentially the most simple change. Particularly when posed subsequent to the 2022 nonetheless, it is abundantly apparent he’s grown no less than a few inches. Test it out:
The comparability is jaw-dropping, however Isaac Ordonez was simply round 13 throughout Season 1, and he’s now 16. So, the dramatic development spurt is smart. He truthfully nearly appears to be like like two completely different actors as he’s a lot shorter than Ortega in a single and towers over her within the different. As is the case for a lot of collection that characteristic a younger solid (like Percy Jackson), it is at all times a bit stunning when teenage actors return for extra work and have grown up.
Naturally, the three-year hole between seasons wasn’t misplaced on many like me. Commenters had been throughout Ordonez’s transformation and had some artistic takes that aligned with the enduring household. Some had been a bit sentimental, whereas others had been extra Wednesday-coded. Have a look for your self:

Many had been fast to touch upon the timeframe, together with the tween to teen’s appears to be like, noting that it was onerous to think about such a dramatic development spurt over one summer time. Nonetheless, many had been candy in regards to the Netflix collection’ return after three years.
Ordonez wasn’t the one one to vary. The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star grew up, too, even when it wasn’t as obvious onscreen. Jenna Ortega’s trend premiere appears to be like have been the actual inform that she’s coming into younger maturity. She’s not the Season 1 Wednesday dancing her coronary heart out, however she continues to be having enjoyable operating alongside the chaos.
With the adjustments identified, these actors, and particularly Ordonez, now be a part of ranks with a slew of younger stars who’ve aged sooner than their characters. This occurring, after all, is nothing new within the age of streaming. And one of the vital well-known situations is in regard to the Netflix unique Stranger Issues and its solid growing older. Now, it’ll be attention-grabbing to see how a lot Wednesday we’ll get and the way a lot Jenna Ortega and Isaac Ordonez might change in the course of the course of it.
