Petition to Change the Writers for Season 3 of Netflix's "Wednesday"

The Issue

After everything that has happened in recent weeks, it has become clear that Wednesday fans need to make their voices heard. The direction planned for Season 3 — in instance the focus on a romantic storyline between Wednesday and Tyler — has ignored the expectations of the show’s dedicated audience.

This disconnect between fan hopes and the writers’ decisions highlights growing concerns: the creative team not only disregards what fans want, but actively pursues a direction that many feel betrays the characters’ potential and the essence of the series.

Although fan communities strongly supported the ‘Wenclair’ romance (Wednesday + Enid), the showrunners have firmly rejected this interpretation, claiming that the relationship is purely platonic, celebrating ‘female friendship and sisterhood’ rather than romance. Many fans accuse the writers of queerbaiting — hinting at a possible romantic connection between Enid and Wednesday, but never confirming it — echoing broader industry-wide criticism. The show engages in queerbaiting solely to maintain support from the queer community, without offering them genuine representation.

The reason for this petition is not simply that fans want Wednesday and Enid to end up together — in fact, many would be perfectly happy if both characters remained single. The real issue is that the writers do not understand the audience and are unwilling to listen. By pushing the Tyler–Wednesday storyline, they ignore the essence of Wednesday’s character, who, as seen in earlier adaptations, has always been drawn to those weaker than herself. Not harm or abuse.

The main issues with Season 2 are not the actors or their performances, but the writing itself: unnecessary plotlines, poorly developed characters (like Enid), and storylines that fail to capture the essence of Wednesday’s character. One of the biggest criticisms from reviewers is that Season 2 was overloaded with extraneous subplots and underdeveloped arcs. Instead of a clear, character-focused story, viewers were given a chaotic, inconsistent season stuffed with filler.

Both critics and fans have noted that the scripts feel rushed, inconsistent, and often tone-deaf. One of the most absurd choices was shaping Wednesday and Morticia’s relationship based on the writers’ own experiences with mothers and daughters — completely missing the point of the Addams family. They were never meant to be a ‘normal’ family. Morticia and Wednesday were never supposed to experience the same conflicts as an average household, and reducing them to that dynamic undermines everything that makes the Addams family unique.

The problem goes beyond weak scripts — it’s a lack of professionalism on set. Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair) revealed that she didn’t know about her character’s body-swap storyline until a month before filming and only learned about it from a hair stylist. When Myers asked Jenna Ortega about it, Jenna was surprised that Emma had no prior knowledge of the scene. Myers described the situation as extremely stressful, saying the team ‘kept us all in the dark,’ and that even when she asked about the storyline, the response was essentially, ‘Too bad.’

A glaring issue in Season 2 is the writers’ tendency to resolve complex storylines by suddenly killing off characters. A prime example is the Avian killer. This abrupt elimination not only wastes the potential of an intriguing character but also undermines the narrative’s depth

We need writers who are genuinely passionate about the show, listen to the fans, and respect what made Wednesday so popular. If you want to see meaningful change and a Season 3 that truly honors the characters and the fans, sign this petition and share it wherever you can.
