Wednesday Season 3 introduces a major new addition to the Addams family: Eva Green has joined the cast and will play Aunt Ophelia, Morticia Addams’ sister.
Green’s arrival marks the first confirmed casting news for the new season and widens the ensemble for one of Netflix’s most-watched series.
Her casting follows a period of anticipation after Wednesday Season 2 debuted earlier this year and climbed to #4 among Netflix’s most-watched English-language series of all time. Season 1 still holds the #1 position.
A New Addition to the Addams Family
Eva Green joins Wednesday Season 3 as Aunt Ophelia, a character who expands the Addams family tree on screen. Green is known for her roles in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Dark Shadows, and a range of dramatic and genre projects that have shaped her film career.
Creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar described her as an actor with a distinctive on-screen presence and noted their enthusiasm for bringing her into the fold. Green also expressed her excitement about joining the series and portraying a character tied directly to Morticia Addams.
What We Know So Far About Season 3
Netflix has not yet released additional details about production, plot, or returning characters beyond Green’s casting. Confirmation of further Season 3 information will follow at a later date.
The series continues to be produced by MGM Television, with Gough and Millar serving as creators, showrunners, and executive producers. Tim Burton remains attached as director and executive producer, maintaining continuity with the show’s established creative leadership.
The Ongoing Success of the Wednesday Series
Since its debut, Wednesday has remained one of Netflix’s major global hits. Season 1 broke records as the most-watched English-language series in the platform’s history. Season 2 maintained that momentum, quickly securing a spot among the service’s top titles.
The show’s mix of mystery, supernatural elements, and character-driven comedy continues to anchor its popularity. Jenna Ortega leads the ensemble as Wednesday Addams, joined by Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, Isaac Ordonez, and Billie Piper, among others. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Joanna Lumley, and Fred Armisen round out the Addams family roles.
Looking Ahead to Wednesday Season 3
With Eva Green joining Wednesday Season 3, the series adds a new dynamic to its expanding portrayal of the Addams family. While full storyline details remain under wraps, the confirmed casting marks the first step toward a new chapter following the events of Seasons 1 and 2.
