“I’d never been to Ireland and it was wonderful,” Ortega shared.
She praised the kindness of the local people and the breathtaking countryside scenery, highlighting her genuine appreciation for the country.
“My favourite thing was just how kind the people are, but also the countryside was really nice.”
Exploring Ireland While Filming
Despite a busy shooting schedule, Jenna made an effort to explore as much of Ireland as possible.
“I did my best to see as much of the island as I could while I was there. I went north, south, east, west, I went all over. I’m pretty proud of myself.”
This marks a change from season 1, which was entirely filmed in Romania, according to RTE reports.
