Wednesday's Stalker Is Revealed In Episode 2 — EPs Explain How The Show's Fandom Served As Inspiration

Warning: This interview reveals a big twist from Wednesday Season 2, Episode 2. Don't want to be spoiled? Get to streaming!

It was the question (well, one of the questions) on every Wednesday fan's mind at the end of Season 1: Who is her mysterious stalker?

That quandary looms large in the first half of Season 2, now streaming on Netflix, as the stalker continues to taunt Wednesday — you know, as if she isn't busy enough trying to prevent her vision of Enid's death.

Fortunately, we don't have to wait too long for answers, as Episode 2 reveals the stalker to be none other than Agnes DeMille (played by new cast member Evie Templeton), a Wednesday stan and fellow student at Nevermore Academy.

"We liked the idea that Wednesday would have these sort of odd super fans after saving the school, and the way that this fan wants to profess their love and admiration is basically to knock off the roommate," co-showrunner Alfred Gough tells TVLine.

Adds co-showrunner Miles Millar, "We saw so many young girls embrace the show with such fervent ardor, and we thought, 'What if one of those kids was a student at Nevermore became this stalker?' It was based on that and on our own experience witnessing the success and fandom of the show."

Casting Templeton in the pivotal role was also a no-brainer for the producers, and not just because of the actress' "big anime eyes." When Templeton is on screen with Jenna Ortega and Emma Myers, "the three of them together are like magic," Millar says.
