Sharp-eyed Netflix viewers have uncovered a sinister character hiding in plain sight.

Just seven days remain before Wednesday season 2 part 2 drops on Netflix following the programme's explosive return this month.

Following an agonising wait after the debut series, Wednesday enthusiasts have been left on edge with only four episodes released, forcing them to wait until September 3 for the subsequent chapters.

Viewers will recall Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan) morphing into the Hyde before slaying his master Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci). He subsequently lunged at Wednesday (Jenna Ortega), who was hurled savagely through the window onto the pavement beneath.

Whilst audiences await the upcoming episodes, spectators have been crafting numerous theories

As excitement mounts for part 2's arrival, supporters persist in voicing their predictions about forthcoming events, with focus shifting to Bruno (Noah Taylor) as admirers suspect he harbours a more significant role beyond being Enid's (Emma Myers) romantic partner.

Posting on Reddit, one enthusiast penned: "He has to be a twist villain, there's no other reason for him to be there. He has no personality. He conveniently has the exact same trauma as Enid? Sure buddy pack it up."

One viewer speculated: "He takes part in Enid's death. Earn Enid's trust to somehow kill her?" Another fan chimed in with their theory: "I think Bruno is evil and we are supposed to think he is some bland idiot, but he actually helped Agnes almost kill Enid and him.

"Enid was talking to thing and we hear a thud (Bruno) and then Enid is knocked out. Maybe we didn't see Bruno be knocked out because he was faking."

However, some fans believe the character serves as a plot device. A Reddit user commented: " Bruno is barely a character. It's more like he's just a plot device and a way to show how suddenly being accepted by other wolves has changed Enid."

Another fan suggested: "The point is that he's a springboard for conflict with Enid/Ajax/Wednesday. He represents Enid trying to fit in with her pack, to the detriment of her relationships with Ajax and Wednesday.

"We've spent more time with Ajax than we have Bruno. Why develop Bruno's character if his only purpose is to be discarded? It's not lazy writing, it's intentional. If we see any type of characterization of Bruno, it makes us think of him more than what he is. We aren't supposed to feel any type of way about him."

One viewer predicted: "By the end of the season either he and Enid break up, he turns out to be evil, or he dies. Whatever happens I suspect we won't be seeing him in season 3."

But fans will have to wait a few more days to find out what happens next.
