Evie Templeton’s Casting Story: Auditioning Without Knowing the Character, Only Realizing It Was “Wednesday” Because She’s a Huge Fan of Season 1

Evie Templeton, the talented young actress who plays Agnes DeMille in Wednesday 2, has an intriguing casting story that surprised many. Initially, Evie submitted a self-tape (a video audition filmed by herself) for the casting call without knowing which character she was auditioning for. To maintain confidentiality, the dialogue was coded under a project name, preventing Evie from knowing any specific details about her role.

However, with her deep knowledge and love for Wednesday from the first season, Evie quickly realized that this was an opportunity to join the much-anticipated sequel. “I’m a huge fan of season one, and when I read the script, I instantly recognized this was Wednesday 2,” Evie shared.

What makes it even more special is that Tim Burton, the director of Wednesday, immediately recognized Evie’s unique talent and chose her for the role of Agnes DeMille. Burton remarked that Evie’s strong and distinctive appearance was a crucial element in shaping the character, with her look reminiscent of classic silent film stars, which made her the perfect choice.

Combining her talent and unique style, Evie proved that she’s not just a fan of Wednesday, but also the perfect pick for the role in the sequel to the iconic show.
