Are Netflix Stars Jenna Ortega and Asia Ortega Related? What Do They Have in Common?

Are you wondering what new Netflix has added for viewers in their monthly
release chart? You would be surprised that they are ready to welcome another
Ortega on their platform. We all remember how the Gen-Z Scream queen set the
internet on fire starring in the comedy-drama Wednesday. Jenna Ortega instantly
took over the hearts of the audience, with her impeccable performance as a
deadpan teenage version of this iconic character. Now Asia Ortega has made her
debut on the streaming giant in a new highly anticipated Spanish series Sky
High. But do you think their similar surname makes them acquainted in some way?
Do these Netflix stars have something in common?

Taking the mantle of crime thriller as the protagonist, Asia Ortega arrived on
Netflix on March 17. Sky High is a sequel series of the Spanish film Hasta el
Cielor released about two years ago. The seven-episode show follows Sole, who
finds out about the secret life of her husband after his death. So she takes the
charge of this gangster business in her hand to take care of her son and becomes
a crime boss.



While seeing this surname on the cast list, many people might have wondered if

to our Wednesday star, Jenna Ortega. Well, just because they both have the same
last name does not mean they have some family connections. The 20-year-old star
is of Mexican-Puerto Rican descent and the fourth child in a family of six
children. On the other hand, Asia Ortega is a descendant of an Argentinian
father and a Spanish mother.

JENNA ORTEGA IS VERY PROUD OF HER COMMUNITY

Last year, the You star sat down with Deadline for a cover interview after her
critically acclaimed performance in the film The Fallout. During the
conversation, she was also asked about her heritage and what that has meant for
her career. The American actress stated in her response that she has always
loved her culture.



“It’s something that I’m very proud of. I grew up in a community [Coachella
Valley, California] surrounded by all kinds of Hispanics,” explained Ortega. She
continued that representing one’s heritage and culture in their work is a thing
of self-esteem or self-respect. Just like she renowned the teen Wednesday
Addams, who is a Latina character
