In fact, she's happiest when she's alone. It's surprising, then, that in season two of Wednesday, she has not just one but two schoolmates vying for the role of her best friend: Her roommate, Enid (Emma Myers), whose candy-colored wardrobe is one of many ways she's Wednesday's polar opposite, and newcomer Agnes (Evie Templeton), the red-haired younger student who wields the power of invisibility both for mischief and good.

Taylor Talks Bruno and Enid's Relationship, Future of His Character Enid and Agnes have their differences - starting with (spoilers ahead!) Agnes' plot to capture Wednesday's attention by nearly killing Enid. But by the end of the season, they find some common ground and even share the spotlight, performing a dance routine to Lady Gaga's "The Dead Dance" at Nevermore's fundraising gala before joining forces to save Wednesday from being buried alive. After the release of Wednesday season two, Part 2, THR chatted with Myers and Templeton about playing the enemies turned friends, their favorite moments this season and what it's like being directed by director Tim Burton. We also tried to get the inside scoop on Enid's future after the dire turn of events for her in the season finale, but as Myers deadpans: "They don't like to keep us in the loop on anything." *** It's fun to get to talk to you both because your characters spend most of the season at odds. Evie, what was it like to play that competitiveness with your character always trying to undermine Enid? EVIE TEMPLETON It was fun. I always found it funny to go from having a nice, chatty conversation with Emma where we'd just be just talking about things. There was even a scene in the clock tower once where we went from doing the ballet barre on one of the railings to me having to try and kill her and Bruno. (Laughs.) So it was definitely fun having a back and forth with that. Emma did you also enjoy the back and forth, or did you enjoy it more when you became more friendly toward the end of the season? EMMA MYERS I love going back and forth with Evie, but I do love being friends. Enid's always arguing with somebody, so it's nice to not have to by the end of the season. I think of Enid as a friendly person. She's got a bubbly personality and is always wearing pink, but she has that edginess to her. MYERS I like that she has a bit of a fiery personality. Emma Myers as Enid in Wednesday. Bernard Walsh/Netflix (C) 2025 Tell me about your dance scene in episode seven, to Lady Gaga's "The Dead Dance." Do you both have a lot of dance background, and how much practice did that take? TEMPLETON We both have a bit of a background in dance, so it wasn't too difficult to slip back into it. It was fun getting to workshop ideas and work with Corey [Baker], who is our choreographer, and see what worked and what didn't. I definitely went back on some of the foundations I had from when I was younger. You had sections of the dance where you got to pick up Emma, was that something you worried about? TEMPLETON Oh, it was terrifying. All that was going through my head is, "Do not drop Em, please do not drop Emma." But yeah, I was just clinging on so tight, I didn't want to let her go. MYERS And I was just like, "Don't crush Evie, don't crush Evie." Do you also have a lot of background in dance, Emma? MYERS Yeah, I've been dancing since I was 2. I used to be a competitive dancer. So dance comes naturally to me, I think it was good that we both have dance backgrounds because they only gave us two weeks to rehearse until we were actually shooting, so had we not known how to dance before, then it would have been a disaster. Was dance ever something you thought about doing for a career before you got into acting? MYERS Not really, I just love it as an art form. I never wanted to force myself to do it as a career or anything. I just thought if I wanted to continue it, I would, but I'm not going to force myself to do something creative because then it just kind of defeats the whole purpose. That's a good outlook on it. After the dance, at the end of the season things don't go well for Enid. She's on the run and in her werewolf form, she might not be able to change back. When did you hear about that storyline, and what did you think about it? MYERS I didn't know until the week before we actually started shooting, because they don't like to keep us in the loop for anyt
