‘Wednesday’ Keeps It Creepy, Not Romantic
“Wenclair” shippers, you might want to grab a coffin to scream into — because the dream of Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair locking lips has been officially buried.
The masterminds behind the hit spooky teen drama have slammed the coffin lid shut on fan fantasies, insisting that season two is all about sisterhood — not sapphic romance. Jenna Ortega returns as the deadpan queen of goth herself, with Emma Myers once again lighting up the screen as Enid, the technicolor werewolf-next-door. But while the chemistry between them could raise the dead, creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar aren’t letting it veer into romance territory.
“It’s a show about female friendship,” Gough said, stressing that viewers can interpret things how they want, but canonically, the girls are “very much friends.” Millar doubled down, describing their bond as “special” and “unique,” the kind of connection that thrives on being different yet deeply in sync. In other words — yin and yang, not ring and vows.
New Faces, Same Spooky Energy
Season two is doubling down on the macabre with new cast members that scream iconic. Billie Piper joins as Isadora Capri, Joanna Lumley steps into Grandmama Addams’ pointy shoes, and Steve Buscemi becomes Nevermore Academy’s latest head honcho, Barry Dot.
Even without a romance arc, the Wednesday–Enid storyline is getting deeper — more emotional moments, more high-stakes mysteries, and the same delicious banter that fans can’t stop GIF-ing. But anyone hoping for a queer love confession? Put that fanfiction away — at least for now.
Why It Matters for the LGBTQ Crowd
For queer fans, “Wenclair” wasn’t just a cute ship; it was a beacon of possibility. Seeing two wildly different young women form an intense emotional connection on mainstream TV felt like fertile ground for authentic LGBTQ representation. By keeping things platonic, the creators risk leaving queer audiences hungry for stories that mirror their realities.
Still, the fact that the characters are embraced as a potential queer couple — even without textual confirmation — speaks to how hungry audiences are for diverse representation. And in a way, that’s its own kind of victory: proving that two girls holding hands on a dark and stormy night can be just as powerful as a kiss.
“Wednesday” season two, part one is now streaming. Part two hits Netflix on September 3 — and you can bet the fandom will be watching, romance or not.
