‘Wednesday’ Adds Eva Green as Aunt Ophelia for Season 3

Wednesday‘s second season may have wrapped earlier this year, but Netflix is already gearing up for the latest chapter of its spookily good series as the streamer unveils highly anticipated Season 3 casting. It seems that the show has finally found its Aunt Ophelia, the sister of Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones).

The show, led by Jenna Ortega, first debuted back in 2022 and has become a worldwide phenomenon since. Wednesday has become such a phenomenon that Season 3 was greenlit back in July 2025 ahead of Season 2’s release. As we look forward to Ortega’s onscreen return as the titular character, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the third season of the series so far. Scroll down for a closer look at the details we do know, from casting to production updates, and stay tuned for any major announcements in the months ahead.

When will Wednesday Season 3 premiere?

Wednesday Season 3 doesn’t have a premiere date as the series hasn’t begun filming its third chapter. Stay tuned for any major updates as we look ahead to the show’s future.

Who will star in Wednesday Season 3?

Wednesday Season 3 will feature new addition Eva Green as Ophelia, aunt to Wednesday and sister to Morticia. Her role was teased at the end of Wednesday Season 2, as the mysterious figure stared at a wall with the words “Wednesday Must Die,” scrawled across it in blood. “I’m thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of Wednesday as Aunt Ophelia,” Green shared in a statement. “This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world, I can’t wait to bring my own touch of cuckooness to the Addams family.”

Showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar stated, “Eva Green has always brought an exhilarating, singular presence to the screen — elegant, haunting and beautifully unpredictable. Those qualities make her the perfect choice for Aunt Ophelia. We’re excited to see how she transforms the role and expands Wednesday’s world.”

Additional casting will be announced at a later date, but we’re certain Ortega and Zeta-Jones will reprise their respective roles, alongside others.

What has been said about Wednesday Season 3?

Netflix

Regarding the Season 3 renewal, showrunners, co-creators, and writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar said in a join statement, “It’s been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe — one deadpan quip at a time. We’re beyond thrilled she’ll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3. This time, she’ll unearth more of the school’s sinister secrets — and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: ‘Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation.'”

Additionally, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said, “The undeniable impact of Wednesday resonated immediately with fans worldwide, driving it to the top of our charts as our most popular English language TV show, and sparking cultural trends. We are so proud of Al Gough, Miles Millar, Tim Burton, Jenna Ortega, and the entire Wednesday cast and crew for everything they’ve accomplished. On the heels of its highly anticipated Season 2 return, we are thrilled to renew the iconic series for a third and to deliver more of what the fans love.”

What is Wednesday Season 3 about?

As mentioned by Millar and Gough above, Wednesday Season 3 will see the titular character return to Nevermore Academy as she unravels a new mystery and digs deeper into her family’s history. And now with Aunt Ophelia’s casting, we’re sure the show will continue to examine Wednesday’s family lore, as well as address lingering cliffhangers.
