However, it&#8217;s impossible to deny how much has changed between Season 1&#8217;s 2022 premiere and Season 2&#8217;s release on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/streaming-news\/2025-netflix-movie-tv-show-release-dates\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Netflix's 2025 schedule;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><u>Netflix&#8217;s 2025 schedule<\/u><\/a>. That fact was highlighted too, as Netflix posted side-by-side images of Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) and Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley) that showcase just how much they&#8217;ve literally grown up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The side-by-side image comes from Netflix Nordic\u2019s Instagram, and it highlights a handful of differences for both Pugsley and Wednesday. While both have different-ish hairstyles (Wednesday&#8217;s bangs have a starker silhouette, for example) and lost kid-like features in their face, Ordonez\u2019s growth spurt is the most undeniable change. Especially when posed next to the 2022 still, it&#8217;s abundantly obvious he\u2019s grown at least a couple of inches. Check it out:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The comparison is jaw-dropping, but Isaac Ordonez was just around 13 during Season 1, and he\u2019s now 16. So, the dramatic growth spurt makes sense. He honestly almost looks like two different actors as he is so much shorter than Ortega in one and towers over her in the other. As is the case for many series that feature a young cast <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/percy-jackson-fans-cant-stop-152110257.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:(like Percy Jackson), it's always a bit shocking;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">(like <em>Percy Jackson<\/em>), it&#8217;s always a bit shocking<\/a> when teenage actors return for more work and have grown up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Naturally, the three-year gap between seasons wasn\u2019t lost on many like me. Commenters were all over Ordonez\u2019s transformation and had some creative takes that aligned with the iconic family. Some were a bit sentimental, while others were more Wednesday-coded. Take a look for yourself:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>The man GREW.

However, many were sweet about the Netflix series&#8217; return after three years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ordonez wasn\u2019t the only one to change. The <em>Beetlejuice Beetlejuice<\/em> star grew up, too, even if it wasn\u2019t as apparent onscreen. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/streaming-news\/jenna-ortega-smoky-eye-black-dress-different-wednesday-season-1-dance-look\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jenna Ortega's fashion premiere looks;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><u>Jenna Ortega&#8217;s fashion premiere looks<\/u><\/a> have been the real tell that she\u2019s entering young adulthood.
