Wednesday has already been renewed for a third season ahead of its second season premiere, with Jenna Ortega set to return in the lead role.
Tim Burton said: “I’m so excited to be back for Season 3, and it’s great to be reunited with all of the original cast. The addition of some dear friends and past collaborators of mine — Winona, Eva, Chris, Noah … makes this season extra special. I feel very lucky.”
In the upcoming season, the world of Nevermore will be expanded, allowing for deeper character development and more layered storytelling. More members of the Addams Family will be brought into the narrative, with family secrets taking center stage.
Production is currently underway near Dublin. New additions to the cast include Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy, and James Lance, while previously announced cast members include Winona Ryder and Eva Green. Eva Green will portray Aunt Ophelia, Morticia’s mysterious sister.
Green said: “I’m thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of Wednesday as Aunt Ophelia. This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world, I can’t wait to bring my own touch of cuckoo-ness to the Addams family.”
Wednesday creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have emphasized that the new season will take on a darker and more expansive tone. A release date has not yet been announced.
