Wednesday season 2 star Billie Piper could be about to fill a huge gap left by season 1

While there aren't a ton of details about her new character, Piper described her to Radio Times as "really accomplished musician who ends up teaching at Nevermore - and has an interesting past of her own".

But, crucially, Netflix has also confirmed that Isadora will "become a mentor to fellow werewolf Enid Sinclair" - and that role couldn't have come sooner.

Throughout season 1, it soon becomes apparent that fan favourite Enid (played by Emma Myers) doesn't have any strong or particularly healthy relationships in her life - particularly when it comes to her family.

We first meet Esther Sinclair (Amanda Drew), Enid's mother, in episode 5 - and quickly learn a lot about why Enid is struggling to fully manifest her identity as a werewolf. Rather than being pleased to see her daughter, she immediately starts criticising and interrogating her, making her disappointment in Enid painfully obvious.

At one particularly unsettling point, Esther attempts to convince Enid to go through "lycanthropy conversion" - an obvious (if slightly muddled) reference to LGBTQ+ conversion therapy. It's clear that Esther's treatment of Enid has a tangible destructive impact on her daughter's confidence and sense of self (manifesting in her being able to "wolf out" at will).

Enid and Esther's relationship is only made all the more heartbreaking when compared to Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) and Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Despite clearly being an unconventional family, there's never any doubt of the unconditional love that Morticia and Gomez (Luis Guzmán) have for their children.

Morticia in particular is incredibly supportive of Wednesday, making it clear that she'd go to the ends of the earth for her daughter - a stark contrast to the treatment Enid receives from Esther.

Thankfully, Enid finds the strength to stand up to her mother and tell her that she'll "wolf out" when she's well and ready - not on her mother's timeline.

The other main relationship we see in Enid's life is her friendship with Wednesday - but that relationship isn't a particularly healthy one either, and perhaps one that Enid only accepts due to becoming accustomed to how her mother has treated her.

After all, most of the pair's friendship is built on Wednesday hurling insults at Enid, with Enid nevertheless staunchly insisting on seeing the best in Wednesday (although she does show she can hold her own against Wednesday, hitting back a fair few times against her jibes).

Of course, it's also made clear by the end of the season that Wednesday has come to genuinely care about Enid ("If he breaks your heart, I'll nail gun his") - and, despite the unconventional and perhaps unhealthy nature of their friendship, Wednesday's influence does have a positive impact on Enid, allowing her to stand up to her mother.

But the fact that Enid's friendship with Wednesday Addams is the healthiest relationship in her life is telling - and it's a low bar to set, making it obvious that, up until now, she's been lacking in strong and healthy relationships.

After all, while it's rewarding to see Enid stand up to her mother, it's also been frustrating to see her give so much to others and often only receive criticism, indifference, and outright disrespect in return.

Now, with the introduction of Isadora Capri, it seems that season 2 is about to spend a lot more time on Enid's character development - and hopefully her life away from Wednesday.

Although some fans are gunning for a romantic relationship to develop between Enid and Wednesday, another route that season 2 could take is to show both characters developing outside of this friendship as they grow into their own identities.

By the end of season 1, Enid had finally "wolfed out", transforming into her full werewolf form, but it's clear there's still a lot that she needs to learn about herself in season 2.

If this is going to come from anyone, it's Isadora - an older and more confident werewolf, with experience of her own that she can share. With Enid clearly missing an older female role model (considering this certainly isn't a role her mother is filling), Isadora could be exactly what the show is missing.

Piper's casting in this role also seems emblematic of a shift that season 2 is making for the better - increasing its focus on the female relationships in the show.

Ortega, who recently referred to the series as "definitely a feminist show", has already confirmed that she's set to share more scenes with Zeta-Jones, indicating much more interaction between Morticia and Wednesday and a deeper look into their relationship in season 2.

Plus, Lumley, who's set to play Hester, Wednesday's grandmother, has mentioned that her role was expanded from what was originally agreed, presumably meaning we're set to see much more of Hester's and Wednesday's history and relationship.

Yes, Wednesday and Enid's relationship is important, and we're certainly set to see more of their complex bond in season 2 - for better or for worse.

But the series needs to continue to do Enid justice - and if it can give her one more meaningful relationship outside of her friendship with Wednesday, it could prove a huge win for season 2.

Wednesday season 2 part 1 will stream from Wednesday 6th August on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
