What Happened
Netflix has officially announced that Eva Green will portray Aunt Ophelia Frump in the upcoming third season of the hit series Wednesday. Production for the season commenced earlier this month, with filming starting on February 16, 2026, near Dublin, Ireland, and expected to continue through the summer of 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 the sister of Morticia Addams. Her character has been shrouded in mystery, having been introduced in the season two finale where she ominously scribbled ‘Wednesday must die’ on a wall. This addition to the cast is expected to deepen the narrative and explore the complexities of the Addams family dynamics.
What’s Next
Wednesday Season 3 is anticipated to premiere in 2027 on Netflix. Alongside Green, the season will feature returning cast members Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luis Guzmán, as well as new additions including Winona Ryder, Chris Sarandon, and Noah Taylor. More details about the season’s plot and character developments are expected to be revealed in the coming months.
