So here’s the awkward part. Puck’s Matt Belloni reports that the sequel is “being written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, her Wednesday showrunners. Yes, the same Wednesday showrunners that Ortega kinda crapped all over.” Those Beetlejuice 2 table reads should be a gas.
No one should take any of this personally, however, since Ortega is clearly establishing herself as a creative force. She’s also rewriting scripts over at Saturday Night Live this week, nixing the script presented by the Please Don’t Destroy boys for a show promo. Gough and Millar can take a page out of the Ben, John, and Martin playbook — if you pout enough, you can even convince Jenna Ortega to see things your way.
