Wednesday's Agnes DeMille actress's surprising career history as she 'steals the show'
Wednesday's new sidekick has gone down a storm with fans of the Netflix series.
Wednesday season 2, which was filmed in Ireland, has launched on Netflix with part one introducing a new character who has already stolen the show ahead of part two's release.
Agnes DeMille, played by Evie Templeton, is a Nevermore student who has an obsession with Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega) and goes to extreme lengths to get her attention.
After proving herself to be useful and loyal, Wednesday accepts her into the group, much to Enid Sinclair's (Emma Myers) distaste. Evie Templeton is a 16-year-old British actress with a surprising career history as she has only ever had minor roles in films and TV shows.
She made her acting debut in 2022, landing minor roles in BBC period drama Life After Life and Disney film Pinocchio.
Before her screen roles, she appeared in Nativity on the UK Tour and also starred in Les Misérables on the West End.
In 2023, she landed her first major role starring alongside Tuppence Middleton in the horror movie Lord of Misrule, playing Grace Holland.
She also voices the character of Laura in Konami's remake of Silent Hill 2 - a role she will reprise in the latest instalment of the Silent Hill film series titled Return to Silent Hill.
Despite her small list of credits, she has won over the hearts of Wednesday fans across the globe.
The young star took to Instagram to share some behind-the-scenes snaps from the series, sending fans into a frenzy as they hailed her the breakout star.
She penned: "Season 2 Part 1 is out now! Incredibly grateful to be a part of this wonderful show @wednesdaynetflix. Huge thanks to Tim, Al, Miles and all the amazing cast and crew. Here's some BTS for ya x"
Her co-stars Hunter Doohan and Isaac Ordonez praised her, with the Tyler star responding: "That's our Agnes Demille!! Congrats Evie!" and the Pugsley star adding: "Great Job Evie!"
Fans also flocked to the comments, with Mike Dowler sharing: "Absolutely epic performance! You were destined to portray Agnes in this iconic series!"
Miscellaneousspectrum commented: "You did so well! Your character stole the show."
Wakays4 shared: "My new favorite," with sanjay_solo_man_ commenting: "Just watched Wednesday — your acting was phenomenal! Every scene you were in was pure magic!"
A fan site concluded: "Evieeee, I loved the character of Agnes, who has definitely become my favorite.
