With the relationship between Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair emerging as one of the highlights on Netflix’s latest hit, fans have been rallying to have the two friends become an official couple – and it’s not completely out of the realm of possibility, if the show’s creators are to be believed.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview, show-runners Al Gough and Miles Millar said that they hadn’t ‘discounted’ the idea of a romantic relationship between Wednesday and Enid.
“We’re not gonna discount anything, and, obviously, sometimes characters reveal themselves, which is the fun thing we love about television, that it’s an organic journey.” Millar said when asked whether they had considered coding the relationship between the two best friends romantically.
He was, however, quick to clarify that for now, the focus would be on the developing friendship between Wednesday and Enid, ‘key’ to their vision for the show. Rather than a huge leap of character between Seasons one and two, they’d like to focus on a gradual build-up, especially when Wednesday’s affinity to let other people in is considered.
Gough said: “For us, the show also is really about this female friendship, with Wednesday and Enid really being at the centre of that. The fact that they really connected with audiences, it has been really gratifying.”

He added: “So, we’re excited to explore now that Wednesday’s dipped her toe into the friendship pool, what’s that gonna look like? It’s like, she hugged. That was her big arc for the season, right?”
Millar, however, assured that while the friendship would remain vital to the show, they would be open to exploring ‘unexpected’ opportunities.
“We have a roadmap, and we’d like to have routes along that map that take you in unexpected directions. So, we’re open to everything. We wanna explore that friendship in every way, but we’re not gonna be, this is where you sometimes get misdirected by fans and things like that, so it’s just being really open to see how those characters develop and that friendship. As Al said, that friendship is key to our sort of vision of the show.” Millar said.
