Wednesday's Emma Myers' life off-screen from overcoming 'bullies' to huge rival Netflix show
Wednesday season two premieres on Netflix on August 6 and the harrowing trailer showed Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega) foreseeing Enid Sinclair's death.
The trailer has sparked some interesting fan theories, with actress Emma Myers at the heart of the drama. One of which sees a reunion between Wednesday and one of her enemies.
The 23-year-old American actress began her career as a child in 2010 when she starred in an episode of The Glades. She was born in Florida and is the middle of three sisters. Being home-schooled in her early life, she admitted she had never had a traditional school experience.
However, by middle school, she discovered a passion for emo and alternative bands like Twenty One Pilots, Panic at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy, which helped form her identity.
Speaking to Teen Vogue, she claimed the other kids didn't understand her enthusiasm for the culture.
"I was kind of an outsider because I was into things more than the normal kid would be," she recalled. "And I got bullied for it."
Now, she takes a wiser view of the situation, sharing: "Some people can't let go of the fact that people enjoy things that make them happy."
She started acting professionally at the age of 16 and went on to star in A Taste of Christmas and Girl in the Basement.
Her breakthrough role was as the late-blooming werewolf Enid in Netflix 's Wednesday, however she has had a number of other Netflix roles.
She starred in the comedy film Family Switch alongside Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, and Brady Noon, and also played the lead in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, which is now on Netflix and has gained global attention.
Although she plays Wednesday's best friend in Netflix's Addams Family adaptation, she admitted she was more like Wednesday herself.
She told Elite Daily: "I would consider myself more a Wednesday because I am very introverted and I don't have a lot of energy.
'Enid's very, very energetic and loves talking to people, while I, on the other hand, get really nervous.'

UK's STV warns of annual profit miss on subdued ads market, shares plunge
July 28 (Reuters) - British digital media firm STV Group (STVG.L), opens new tab warned on Monday that annual revenue and profit would fall short of market expectations due to a worsening advertising market, sending its shares to a more than 12-year low. Shares fell over 24% - biggest percentage drop since November 2007 - to 145.4 pence. STV has two divisions, Audience, which runs commercial public service broadcaster STV and streaming service STV Player and heavily relies on advertising, and Studios, Scotland's largest TV production company which gets commissions from the likes of Netflix and BBC to produce content. A worsening macroeconomic backdrop in the UK has led to fewer funding approvals for creative projects, which has impacted the group's unscripted content, such as talk shows or documentaries, with some projects in advanced development stages not being approved and some being delayed to 2026. STV Group said its scripted labels remained strong and it was still working on projects for Netflix, Apple, Sky and the BBC, with financial expectations remaining unchanged for that segment. The company expects total advertising revenue, which makes up the lion's share of group revenue, to be down about 8% in the third quarter due to a challenging advertising market. The group expects total revenue to range between 165 million pounds and 180 million pounds ($221.50 million and $241.63 million), and an adjusted operating margin of about 7% for the year ending December 31, 2025. ($1 = 0.7449 pounds)
