Netflix’s Wednesday is not just a show, it is a phenomenon, a mood board, and a fashion thesis. It is the reason black is back (again) and why everyone suddenly wants a roommate with fangs and emotional issues. But while the Addams aesthetic steals the spotlight, something even eerier is brewing off-screen. Turns out, the real plot twist lives in Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers' friendship, and it is giving more than Nevermore ever could.

While Wednesday and Enid were decoding murder mysteries, Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers were navigating the greatest mystery of all, how to hug someone without combusting from secondhand awkwardness.

In an interview with TUDUM by Netflix, the girls finally aired the awkward laundry, and it was delightfully wrinkled. Emma Myers confessed to crying after accidentally cutting off Jenna Ortega’s line during their Zoom chemistry read. Ortega? She was just taking “a pause.” Call it timing, call it trauma. Their IRL origin included uncomfortable hugs, half-baked braids, and gym attire straight out of a coming-of-age blooper reel. Honestly, it was the start of an off-screen bond too weird to fail.

On paper, Wednesday and Enid should hate each other. One is the goth daughter of moonlight, the other a walking serotonin ad. And yet, here they are, besties with matching trauma and mutual delusions. Jenna Ortega said they work because “sometimes you need someone to keep you tethered to the ground,” which is poetic Gen Z code for codependence. Enid is chaos in glitter, Wednesday is death in braids, and somehow they orbit the same galaxy of ambition, madness, and deeply personal eyeliner choices.

As their onscreen scenes got scarcer, their real-life friendship grew louder, because nothing bonds two actresses like four months of parallel New Zealand filming and a single, sacred beach day.

While filming separate projects in New Zealand, Emma Myers on Minecraft, Jenna Ortega on Klara and the Sun, they managed to meet exactly once. Proof that soulmates do not need screen time, just caffeine and the same timezone. Ortega and Myers wandered through Auckland like two actresses pretending they were not famous, beach-hopping, café-lurking, and bookstore-strolling their way through a very aesthetic break from chaos. Myers even dragged Ortega to a beach she would end up frequenting solo.

Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers want to act together again, but this time, no murder, no jump scares, and absolutely no CGI claws. In an interview with TUDUM by Netflix, Myers called it something “serious,” while Ortega pitched wholesome Addams family dinners (shocking, truly). This could pass as a behind-the-scenes fact you will absolutely obsess over, especially with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, award-bait lighting, and zero corpses. Manifesting has officially begun.
