Jenna voiced her delight at the possibility, saying that she believes her character would benefit from "a bit of an arc" because she "never really changes" throughout the show¡ªanother "wonderful thing" about her character, in her opinion.
She went on to say that it will have some "really good one-liners". "It's a lot more action-packed. I think each episode will probably feel a little bit like a movie." she added.
