“Obviously Enid is a big part of Wednesday but she’s not the lead.
“So stepping up and being in every single scene on every single day was quite a challenge to take on but I was willing to do it and I had a lot of fun,” she beamed.

The eagerly anticipated six-part series opens in the aftermath of school girl Andie Bell’s murder. The police think Andie’s boyfriend Sal Singh did it, so does everybody else. Case closed.
Myers plays the smart and single-minded Pip Fitz-Amobi, a classmate who’s convinced the real killer is still out there.

“I kind of laughed when I got asked to meet with the director [of the show],” said Myers. “Because I was like, I keep getting pinned for these teenage girl detective shows!
“But it’s quite a fun genre to do because you know, it’s female led and it’s great to solve a mystery on your own, I quite enjoy it.”
Alongside A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder, Myers also returns as Enid Sinclair in the second season of Wednesday, currently in production.
“I’m very excited,” she said of her werewolf reprisal.

“I love the script this season, I think it’s so fun, so I’m really excited to get it finished and have people watch it.”
Myers said it’s been great reuniting with the cast, even though she “sees them all the time”.
“It’s good to have everybody together because it’s like we’re all going back to school,” she laughed.
Like Wednesday, A Good Girls Guide To Murder is an adaptation with quite a loyal fan base of readers. This only made things more “difficult” Myers candidly said.
“I think I tried to stay as close to the book as possible,” Myers revealed about her character’s adaptation. “I hope that translates well”.
“The cast is incredible so I really hope [fans] enjoy it because I really had a fun time shooting it.”
Beside trying to nail the British accent, Myers did reveal one “memorable moment” from filming.

“There’s one scene, I think it’s episode two, where we all go camping and we jump into this lake and we have to pretend its super warm outside,” she began.
“Everybody’s having fun in this lake. But in reality, it was freezing and windy! It was so painful,” she laughed. “But it was pretty fun.”
Myers stars alongside Anna Maxwell Martin (Motherland, A Spy Among Friends), and Gary Beadle (Ghosts, Wonka) in the brand new series.
