Netflix’s hit mystery-thriller Wednesday has returned for a second season, continuing the story of Wednesday Addams at Nevermore Academy and exploring the unusual but heartwarming friendship between Wednesday and her werewolf roommate, Enid Sinclair.
The show, first released in 2022, follows Wednesday as she investigates supernatural mysteries while navigating teenage life. While its gothic atmosphere and suspense have drawn viewers in, the series has also resonated for its depiction of friendship, particularly between two characters who could not be more different.
Here are five lessons on true friendship drawn from Wednesday and Enid’s dynamic:
1. Opposites attract, and make the best duo
Wednesday’s dark, cynical personality was balanced by Enid’s optimism and social energy. Their dorm room, divided between Wednesday’s muted tones and Enid’s bursts of color, symbolized how differences can make a bond stronger.
2. Patience pays off
Enid’s persistence in the face of Wednesday’s sarcasm, rejection and indifference eventually broke down her roommate’s walls. The series shows that friendships often take time and effort to develop.
3. Great besties challenge each other to grow
Enid was unafraid to call out Wednesday when she was manipulative or selfish, while Wednesday’s independence encouraged Enid to stand up for herself, especially against family pressure. Their relationship highlighted how genuine friends push one another to change for the better.
4. Loyalty trumps almost everything
Despite her detached nature, Wednesday defended her friends fiercely, including Enid and Eugene. Enid, in turn, stood by Wednesday during monster hunts, mysteries, and near-death encounters, showing the strength of loyalty in lasting friendships.
5. A hug can speak volumes
After an entire season of avoiding hugs, Wednesday finally embraced Enid in the finale. The moment symbolized trust and emotional connection, proving that even the most guarded person can find comfort in true friendship.
Directed by Tim Burton, the series stars Jenna Ortega as Wednesday and Emma Myers as Enid.
Season 2 of Wednesday is now streaming on Netflix. In the Philippines, the platform is available through PLDT Home Fiber Netflix Plans, which combine high-speed fiber internet with a complimentary Netflix subscription.
