Netflix has officially announced that Eva Green will portray Aunt Ophelia Frump in the upcoming third season of the hit series Wednesday. Production commenced earlier this month in Ireland, with filming expected to continue through summer 2026.

Why It Matters

Eva Green, known for her roles in Casino Royale and Penny Dreadful, reunites with director Tim Burton for this role. Aunt Ophelia is a significant character in the Addams Family lore, being Morticia Addams’ sister. Her character has been shrouded in mystery throughout the series, having been introduced in the Season 2 finale where she ominously scribbled ‘Wednesday must die’ on a dungeon wall. This casting adds depth to the storyline and promises to unveil more about the Addams family dynamics.

What’s Next

Wednesday Season 3 is set to premiere in 2027 on Netflix. Alongside Green, the cast includes Winona Ryder as Tabitha, Chris Sarandon as Balthazar, and returning stars Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luis Guzmán. The creators have hinted at new characters and secrets from the Addams family, making the upcoming season highly anticipated.
