Emma Myers on Revisiting Enid Sinclair and Facing Season 2 Jitters
Ever wonder if actors feel nervous stepping back into a fan-favorite role? Emma Myers didn’t mind admitting it—she felt the pressure ahead of filming Wednesday Season 2. She’s not just any sidekick. Her character, Enid Sinclair, instantly won hearts as the colorful, fiercely loyal werewolf alongside Wednesday Addams. But after a long break, Myers worried she’d lost her connection to Enid’s quirky energy. “I remember watching scenes from Season 1 and thinking, ‘I don’t know if I can do this again. It’s been so long,’” she told Variety. That fear didn’t last long. A first table read snapped her right back into Enid’s skin.
These nerves aren’t rare—even big stars feel the weight of returning to a beloved show. For Myers, though, something clicked during those early cast readings. She saw how Enid had changed and noticed something she hadn’t before—a new kind of confidence. “I think Enid’s grown up. She’s a bit braver and more at home in her own skin this season,” Myers explained.
The Evolving Bond Between Enid and Wednesday
What’s really different this time around for Enid? Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday, says viewers will spot it right away: Enid isn’t in her friend’s shadow anymore. Ortega calls Enid “more of a badass,” and that’s no exaggeration. Their friendship isn’t static, either. Even though Wednesday famously holds her feelings close, Ortega admits their dynamic is deeper and more honest than before. They lean on each other, trading banter for real support—something audiences didn’t see quite as clearly in Season 1. There’s more maturity—not just for the actors, but in the writing, too.
The creative team had their hands full behind the scenes as well. Percy Hynes White, who played Xavier, is out, but the showrunners—Al Gough and Miles Millar—didn’t let his absence throw off the story. Instead, they wove cast changes into the plot, making space for new characters and fresh challenges. Director Tim Burton is still guiding the show’s offbeat, gothic style, so fans can expect that familiar eerie atmosphere. But the focus expands: family drama, supernatural mysteries, and some foes from the past are all piling up at Nevermore Academy.
Season 2 will also shake up how the story unfolds. Netflix plans to drop it in two parts, with Part 1 hitting screens on August 6, 2025, and Part 2 following less than a month later on September 3. Mark your calendar—those late summer weeks are about to get a lot weirder. The official description promises a blend of dark humor and supernatural twists, raising the stakes for everyone at Nevermore.
So while the show brings in new faces and dangerous secrets, Enid’s transformation stands out. Myers, now more comfortable than ever in the role, carries Enid forward as a more powerful, independent part of Wednesday’s world. That mix of nerves and excitement? Turns out, it was just what she—and her character—needed.
