Wednesday's Emma Myers' life off-screen from overcoming 'bullies' to huge rival Netflix show

Emma Myers reprises her role as Enid Sinclair in Wednesday season 2. 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.'

Titus Welliver teams up with Al Pacino and Grantchester star for new projects after Bosch success

Titus Welliver has been busy since wrapping production on the first season of Prime Video's Ballard with a number of projects lined up. Bosch may have reached its conclusion, but Titus Welliver hasn't been resting on his laurels as he's already grafting on his next major venture. Writer Michael Connelly's novels have been transformed into several hit programmes, including Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer, Bosch, and most recently, Ballard. The Maggie Q series also serves as a Bosch spin-off with actor Titus Welliver reprising his role as Harry Bosch for the Prime Video drama. He is now departing from the realm of the detective-turned-private-investigator to focus his efforts on the cinema world. The 63-year-old is working on the eagerly awaited biographical film Killing Castro, which is presently in post-production. The picture is inspired by the actual events surrounding the former Cuban President's visit to New York in 1960 to address the United Nations. Its synopsis states: "He is invited by Malcolm X to stay in Harlem at the famous Hotel Theresa. "Unsure of his intentions, the FBI, CIA and the Mafia, attempt to eliminate him by any means necessary." Everyone's parts in Killing Castro remain undisclosed, but Welliver features amongst the leading cast, alongside Scarface and The Godfather icon Al Pacino. They will be accompanied by Big Sky's Logan Marshall-Green, Vikings' Alexander Ludwig, and Cobra Kai star Xolo Mariduena. Taking on the role of Castro himself, however, will be Rock of Ages and Father of the Bride performer Diego Boneta. While fans anxiously anticipate the launch date, Welliver is also developing a fresh series alongside Grantchester's Tom Brittney, Whiplash's JK Simmons, and Ozark's Jessica Frances Dukes. Drawing from actual events, the forthcoming MGM+ crime drama The Westies centres on the Irish-American criminal organisation that ruled Hell's Kitchen during the 1970s and 1980s. The official synopsis states: "Though vastly outnumbered by the Italian mafia, their brutality earns them a share. Generational tensions rise as FBI probes deepen." Reports suggest filming commenced this month, with The Westies anticipated to premiere sometime in early 2026.
