Wednesday's Emma Myers explains why season 2 will be "worth the long wait" (2024)

Wednesday star Emma Myers has explained why season two will be "worth the long wait".

It was confirmed last month that the much-anticipated follow-up season of the hit Netflix series had begun filming in Ireland.

During an exclusive chat with Digital Spy, Myers, who plays the role of Wednesday's werewolf roommate Enid Sinclair, shared her hopes that the new season will live up to expectations.

"I can't really say anything, otherwise, I will be buried somewhere," she joked.

On what it's been like returning to set, she added: "It's good, because people have high expectations of it. And honestly this season is gonna live up to it.

"I really enjoyed the scripts this season. I think there's a lot of fun things to look forward to, so yeah, I think it will be worth the long wait."

The streaming service recently confirmed that fans will have to wait until 2025 to see Jenna Ortega back as the show's titular character.

The upcoming series will also see a number of new cast additions, including Scoop's Billie Piper, Fool Me Once's Joanna Lumley and original Addams Family star Christopher Lloyd.

As for Myers, the actor will next appear on screen in new BBC drama A Good Girl's Guide to Murder — which lands on BBC iPlayer on July 1.

Based on Holly Jackson's best-selling book trilogy of the same name, the six-part series follows Pip Fitz-Amobi (Myers), a girl who lives in a small town that has been rocked by a murder which took place five years before.

During our chat, Myers opened up about the pressure of adapting something as beloved as Jackson's hit novels, saying: "Obviously, you want to get it right and you want people to love it.

"It's always daunting before anything comes out of yours because you want people to enjoy it. But I think it's even more daunting to have a source material that has fans that you want to appease."

She added: "But some things have to be changed for screen because it's not always able to translate as well on screen as it is in a book. But I feel like we stuck pretty close to the book."

Wednesday streams on Netflix. Season 2 is in production. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is available on BBC iPlayer from Monday, July 1.
