‘Wednesday’ Showrunners Confirm No Romance Planned for Wednesday and Enid in Season 2

The highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s gothic hit “Wednesday” debuted this week, and with it, renewed conversations about character relationships and LGBTQ+ representation. In a recent interview with Decider, the show’s co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar confirmed that the evolving dynamic between Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) and her werewolf roommate Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) will remain that of close friends, not romantic partners .

Since the series’ debut, fans have celebrated the chemistry between Wednesday and Enid, leading to widespread speculation and fan campaigns hoping for a queer romance between the two. However, Gough and Millar emphasized that while Wednesday and Enid’s friendship will deepen and face new tests in Season 2, the show will not pivot into a romantic storyline for the pair .

“Both teenagers are secure in their status as best friends, despite being on different paths,” the showrunners noted, highlighting their intention to explore the complexities and growth of friendship between the two girls as they mature . Enid’s character, in particular, will be navigating her own feelings through a developing love triangle, distancing her from Wednesday while simultaneously providing opportunities for individual character growth .

The news has prompted a mix of reactions among fans, especially within LGBTQ+ communities who have engaged with the #Wenclair ship (the fan-made portmanteau for Wednesday and Enid). Online discussions and social media campaigns have called for more explicit queer representation in mainstream media, particularly in popular franchises with large youth followings .

While some fans express disappointment, others appreciate the show’s commitment to portraying strong, supportive female friendships—a dynamic often overlooked or quickly romanticized in television . The chemistry between Ortega and Myers has been widely praised, with both actors reiterating in interviews that their on-screen relationship is rooted in mutual respect and platonic affection .

For many viewers, the resonance of the “Wednesday” series lies in its depiction of outcasts finding community and acceptance—a theme that strongly aligns with LGBTQ+ experiences. “The series has always been about embracing difference and forging found family,” remarks one fan in a widely shared Instagram post, underscoring why the prospect of a queer romance felt authentic to so many .

Nevertheless, the show’s creative team maintains that authentic storytelling sometimes means centering friendship without defaulting to romance. “We’re excited for audiences to see how Wednesday and Enid’s relationship continues to grow, even as they face new challenges apart,” Gough said in a statement .

With Season 2 focusing on new mysteries, shifting alliances, and the deepening bond between its leads, “Wednesday” continues to spark discussion about the forms that meaningful representation can take. While some viewers advocate for more explicit LGBTQ+ romance in the series, others see value in the nuanced portrayal of friendship and individuality.

As the landscape of television continues to evolve, the call for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion remains vital. For now, fans await the return to Nevermore Academy with anticipation, eager to see how Wednesday and Enid’s next chapter unfolds—romantic or not .
