The second season of Wednesday returns with familiar characters and a few changes behind the scenes. One of the most notable came from Emma Myers, who plays Enid Sinclair. Speaking to Variety, she admitted she wasn’t sure about stepping back into the role. The break between seasons had created a distance that made her question whether she could find her way back into that same energy.
“I was kind of scared to go back, because I remember watching scenes of myself from Season 1 and being like, ‘I don’t know if I can re-create this now. It’s been so long.”
Myers said. The hesitation didn’t come from a lack of preparation. It was about rediscovering something that felt like it belonged to another version of herself. That version had shifted over time. At the table read, something clicked. It felt natural again. As if the character had been waiting.
Reconnecting with Enid
Enid’s return wasn’t identical to her first appearance. Myers said the character had changed. She had grown more confident and more settled in her own skin. That difference shaped the way the role was approached in Season 2. Enid still carries her bright personality, but there’s a stronger foundation now. Less hesitation. More presence.
Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday Addams, echoed that. She described Enid as
“a bit more of a badass this time around.”
There is also a more visible connection between the two girls. According to Ortega, while Wednesday might never say it out loud, Enid is a true friend. That dynamic feels clearer now, both in the way the characters interact and in how their bond has matured.
Physical training and production moments
Emma Myers has a dance background. That training helped shape how she works through physical scenes. In the first season, she trained in what she called a werewolf boot camp. It included flips, crawling, and various stunts. She returned to that mindset again for the second season.
One particular scene required her to roll out of a dumbwaiter several times. There was no stunt double. The crew remembers it because it was done repeatedly, and Myers handled it with the discipline of a trained performer. Timing and coordination mattered. Her background gave her an edge in that kind of physical storytelling. It was more than movement. It became part of how Enid expressed herself.
From New Zealand to Ireland
After filming A Minecraft Movie in New Zealand, Myers flew straight to Ireland for Wednesday. She didn’t even go to the wrap party. The schedule was tight, and production on the second season was already in motion. There wasn’t time to stop. The shift between projects was immediate. According to her, the momentum helped. She had to step into Enid again without overthinking. That urgency brought its own clarity.
Story adjustments and missing characters
Season 2 introduces some changes. Percy Hynes White, who played Xavier Thorpe in the first season, does not return. His absence led to questions, but Myers explained that the story took a different path. The new episodes focus more on character development. The writing moved forward rather than filling in gaps. What’s there now, she said, feels cohesive.
That shift was intentional. The focus stayed on the characters who remained. Their relationships evolved. The emotional center stayed intact, even with changes in the ensemble. According to Myers, it all made sense once filming began. The story no longer depended on what had come before. It built something new with what was already working.
Early reactions and creative direction
The first part of Season 2 premiered on Netflix in early August 2025, with four episodes. Part two is scheduled for early September. Critics have noted that the series still looks and feels like Wednesday. The tone, style, and visual language are consistent. At the same time, some reviewers pointed out that the character arcs feel heavier now. There is more pressure between scenes. More tension in small moments.
Tim Burton returned as executive producer and directed several episodes. He spoke about Myers’ performance, saying she surprised him again with her humor and range. He highlighted how she balances expression with subtlety. That mix helped define Enid’s role this time around. It made the character feel more complete.
What comes next for Wednesday and Emma Myers
Emma Myers continues to lead in other projects. In addition to Wednesday and A Minecraft Movie, she also stars in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, a British adaptation of the bestselling novel. She plays Pip Fitz-Amobi, a student obsessed with solving a cold case. It’s a different world from Nevermore Academy, but it adds another layer to her recent work.
Each of these roles connects her to audiences in different ways. They span genres and formats. Together, they show how her career is expanding, without moving too far from what first made her stand out. These projects have brought her into conversation with very distinct fandoms. That visibility is building something steady.
Tone and continuity
Season 2 of Wednesday goes deeper into emotional tension. The setting is still dark, the humor still dry, but the storytelling feels more grounded. With Enid returning in a stronger, more assertive version, the show holds its focus on what worked before. The new season builds on the foundation that was already there. Nothing was reset. It’s a continuation that feels like growth.
The decision to lean into character dynamics has shifted how things unfold. There’s less emphasis on spectacle. The tension comes more from internal shifts. The friendships, the loyalty, the unspoken parts of growing up in a strange place. These moments define how the second season lands with viewers.
Final thoughts
Trending
Emma Myers spoke honestly about her hesitation to return. That moment of doubt gives some insight into how performers reconnect with characters. It’s not just about doing a job again. It’s about finding alignment between who they are and who they were when they started. That process often happens off-camera, but it influences everything that reaches the screen.
In Wednesday, that theme appears often. Characters change, even if they resist it. They carry pieces of their past, even as they face something new. This season doesn’t pretend everything is the same. Instead, it embraces the shifts. It lets the story continue with what it has. And that might be what makes it resonate again.
