Emma Myers stars as Pippa Fitz-Amobi in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, and her new Netflix series completely reverses her Wednesday role. Although Myers’ characters in both shows are very different, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is a must-watch for those waiting for Wednesday season 2. The mystery series follows teens trying to solve a five-year-old disappearance, which turns out to be a murder, meaning it has many of the same plot points and story elements as Wednesday.

Of course, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder doesn’t have any of the supernatural twists Wednesday is known for. But A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder‘s lead cast member has a prominent role in both shows, giving them yet another thing in common. Myers steps into the spotlight in Netflix’s new mystery series, and she does a great job bringing its slightly neurotic heroine to life. The show gives Myers a chance to spread her wings, as her character is the exact opposite of Wednesday‘s Enid.

Emma Myers’ Role In Good Girl’s Guide To Murder Is The Opposite Of Her Wednesday Character

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder flips Myers’ Wednesday role on its head, giving her the chance to play someone who’s a far cry from Enid. Pip is a compelling character, but she takes some getting used to. Unlike Enid, she’s awkward and obsessive, and it leads to her coming off as too intense at times. As A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder continues, viewers see Pip’s more endearing qualities, but she doesn’t display Enid’s bubbly and outgoing personality.

In fact, one could say that Myers’ new TV role is more like Wednesday Addams than her roommate. She’s far more intense than Enid — and she takes on a detective role in A Good Girl’s Guide to MurderIt’s interesting to compare just how different Myers’ performances in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and Wednesday are, and the fact that she excels in both roles promises a bright future for her.

By giving Myers two vastly different roles, Netflix is allowing the actor to show off her range — and she’s doing an impressive job of it. Through Wednesday and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, Myers proves she can capture a variety of emotions and character types. It’ll be difficult to typecast her going forward, as she’s already building a resume of roles that stand out from one another. And given how well-received Wednesday and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder are, we can probably expect big things from Myers in the future.
