Wednesday Season 2’s Story Change Will Make A Fan Favorite Character Even Better

A shift in how Wednesday’s story will be told in season 2 will further accentuate a fan-favorite supporting character. Wednesday was met with overwhelming praise following its Netflix debut, with audiences appreciating just how well the spinoff series adapted Addams Family canon into a new but just as beloved installment for the popular franchise. Similar to past franchise installments, Wednesday is a dark comedy horror feature that aims to recount the misadventures of the family with a particular focus on Wednesday as she balances day-to-day life at the mysterious high school for outcasts, Nevermore Academy.

Amid odes to the franchise, familiar characters from canon, and spooky undertones, Wednesday includes fresh and exciting material like brand-new characters, never-before-seen storylines and dynamics, and innovative approaches to how Addams Family canon can continue to expand. Already, Wednesday’s upcoming season 2 seeks to capitalize off of its fresh perspective of Addams Family canon by skewing the series even darker. While it is a gamble to step away from what made season 1 so successful, the change in the series’ tone will be useful to Wednesday in numerous ways, including making a cherished supporting character even better.

Wednesday Season 2’s Horror Tone Will Make Enid’s Character Even Better

Upon the news that the series’ second season was in the works came the update that Wednesday would attempt risky story and tone changes. The plot of Wednesday season 2 has been kept majorly under wraps, but the show’s star and newest producer, Jenna Ortega, has teased that the series would abandon fluffier storyline trends, like Wednesday’s season 1 love triangle, to lean more into horror. These changes could either massively benefit the popular series or steer it into unwanted territory, but one thing that is guaranteed is how the series’ darker tone will complement Wednesday’s supporting character, Enid.

Enid burst onto the scene as a whole new character to the franchise and as the stark juxtaposition of Wednesday. Whereas Wednesday is defined by her moody temperament and dark clothing, Enid is characterized by her spunky attitude and love of color. Now that Wednesday season 2 is confirmed to take a darker tone, Enid will get to shine as a bright and positive presence in a more horror-oriented scenario, which should fashion the fan-favorite character in an even more compelling nature.

Enid & Wednesday’s Dynamic Is One Of The Things Wednesday S2 Must Keep

Regardless of tone, Wednesday needs to keep Enid and Wednesday’s unexpected friendship intact come season 2. One of the best parts of the Wednesday series, which sees them both confined to the Nevermore boarding school for outcasts, is watching their bond grow while they encourage each other to remain true to themselves. Enid is a linchpin to Wednesday’s character arc, and even turns out to be a positive influence on Wednesday’s otherwise pessimistic personality by the conclusion of the series.

The friendship between the two has become the cornerstone of the Netflix show, an aspect of which the Wednesday series would be remiss to take advantage of in season 2. Especially now that Wednesday has announced its deepdive into horror, Enid’s character will become an important leveler of the series’ progressively dark storyline. It will be exciting for audiences to see what Wednesday season 2 will do with Enid’s character, but ultimately the series’ tonal change should make her all the more compelling.
