After releasing a video giving a first look at Wednesday season 2, Netflix has only bolstered beliefs in a popular Wednesday romance theory. When it first premiered on Netflix in November 2022, Wednesday quickly became one of the streaming platform’s most popular TV shows ever. Based on characters from The Addams Family, the dark comedy follows Jenna Ortega as the eponymous Wednesday, a dour teen who begins investigating a series of crimes at her new boarding school for outcasts. Since then, audiences have been eagerly awaiting Wednesday season 2, and the behind-the-scenes video makes it feel closer than ever.
While not a trailer, the Wednesday season 2 first look offers glimpses of various aspects of the show. Viewers get to see new shots of Wednesday in her Nevermore uniform, holding a torch and looking fierce. There are also snippets of other beloved Wednesday cast members, such as Morticia and Gomez Addams. Plus, audiences are immediately thrown back into the show’s creepy atmosphere with shots of Nevermore and its surrounding town of Jericho. Yet, there is one character return from the first look video that is particularly exciting. This character’s new appearance hints at a wildly popular Wednesday fan theory.
Enid’s New Look In Wednesday Season 2 Adds To Enid/Wednesday Hopes & Theories
Enid & Wednesday’s Potential Romance Explained
One small detail in the Wednesday season 2 first look video that many might overlook is Enid’s new appearance. In the first season, Enid was well-known for her vivid pastel style, which included pink and blue streaks in her hair and adorable pink sweaters. However, a brief glimpse at Enid in Wednesday season 2 shows a change in her typical look. Enid has bangs, and black nail polish, and is seemingly wearing darker eye makeup. All of these details are quite similar to how Wednesday usually dresses, implying that the Addams’ teenage daughter is rubbing off on her roommate.
More specifically though, Enid’s new look could imply that Enid and Wednesday are growing closer, leading to a theory that many Wednesday viewers are desperate to be true: Wednesday and Enid are in love. Although Wednesday formed seemingly romantic bonds with Xavier and Tyler in Wednesday season 1, none of her relationships really matched what she had with Enid, who became her first real friend at Nevermore. Wednesday and Enid’s opposing personalities make them the perfect pair, and Enid seems to be the only person who is in on Wednesday’s personal life. Thus, many feel that they should be together.
What Has Been Said About A Wednesday & Enid Romance In Wednesday
Wednesday & Enid May Not Happen For A While (Or At All)
After viewers began “shipping” Wednesday and Enid, Wednesday’s cast and crew came out with their thoughts on the pairing. The responses were both optimistic and disappointing. According to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2022, co-creator Miles Millar expressed that he and Al Gough were open to a romance between Wednesday and Enid. Furthermore, he revealed that, no matter what, the friendship between the two girls would be explored further. However, he made it clear that he did not want to be influenced by the fans. The romance would only happen if it occurred naturally.
Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega have given similarly hopeful yet realistic opinions. In a 2022 interview with PRIDE, Myers revealed that Ortega said Wednesday and Enid would be a thing “in a perfect world.” Myers also showed her support for the pairing. However, while talking to Variety a few months later, Myers explained that she thinks Wednesday should be single in season 2, especially after her fiasco with Tyler and her confusing relationship with Xavier. Thus, Wednesday and Enid’s romance is in the cards, but may take a while to actually come to fruition.
Will Wednesday Season 2 Really Do A Wednesday & Enid Romance Story?
Why A Wednesday & Enid Romance Would Make The Show Better
A Wednesday and Enid romance could definitely happen, but the characters would need time for it to develop. Therefore, a Wednesday and Enid romance probably won’t occur in Wednesday season 2. Considering Enid’s new look, it seems likely that Enid and Wednesday will only get closer as the show continues. Just as Enid has taken aspects of Wednesday’s style, Wednesday may also find herself becoming more like Enid. That doesn’t necessarily mean they will be a couple, though it hints at their bond growing stronger.
A romance between Wednesday and Enid would be a great addition to Wednesday because they have the healthiest and sweetest relationship in the show. Although Wednesday and Tyler had some exciting moments, his reveal as the villain in season 1 put a definite wedge between the two characters. Similarly, Wednesday and Xavier’s relationship is tainted by her previous belief that he was the culprit behind Nevermore’s crimes. Wednesday and Enid have never had such dark problems come between them, and thus, they would make for the best couple in Wednesday.
