Jenna Ortega is an American actress. She began acting at the age of nine and, after a series of minor television roles, made her acting debut in an episode of the sitcom Rob (2012). She earned recognition for playing a younger version of Jane in The CW comedy-drama series Jane the Virgin (2014–2019) and Harley Diaz in the Disney Channel series Stuck in the Middle (2016–2018). The latter won her an Imagen Award for Best Young Television Actor. She also appeared in the Marvel film Iron Man 3 (2013) and the horror film Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013).

Ortega began transitioning to mature projects after Stuck in the Middle, beginning with a starring role as Ellie Alves in the Netflix series You (2019). She built her profile with roles in the comedy horror film The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020), the family comedy film Yes Day (2021), and the drama film The Fallout (2021), with her performance as a traumatized high school student in the latter earning critical acclaim.

Ortega rose to wider prominence as a scream queen after co-starring in the successful slasher films Scream (2022), X (2022), and Scream VI (2023). She gained international recognition and critical plaudits for her portrayal of Wednesday Addams in the Netlix horror comedy series Wednesday (2022–present), for which she received nominations at the Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy, and Screen Actors Guild awards. She has since starred in the blockbuster fantasy film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024).
