Eva Green Enters the Addams Family in a Chilling New Role for Wednesday Season 3
Get ready for a new level of deliciously dark family drama in Wednesday Season 3. In a casting move that feels like kismet, the iconic and enigmatic actress Eva Green has officially joined the hit Netflix series as the long-lost and deeply mysterious Aunt Ophelia.
This thrilling news confirms the swirling fan theories that began with that shocking Wednesday Season 2 cliffhanger, finally giving a face to the spectral figure who has haunted Morticia Addams’s past. For Wednesday Season 3, the addition of an actress of Eva Green’s caliber—known for her roles in Penny Dreadful and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children—signals that the upcoming season is diving deeper into the Addams family’s twisted history than ever before.
Who is Aunt Ophelia? Unraveling the Mystery
Until the very end of Wednesday Season 2, Aunt Ophelia was only a name whispered with a mix of sadness and dread. Portrayed as the missing sister of Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Ophelia was a Raven who, much like Wednesday herself, tragically lost control of her powers.
The Season 2 finale gave us our first, chilling glimpse of Aunt Ophelia—from behind, wearing a flower crown and ominously scribbling “Wednesday must die” on a wall. When Morticia gives Wednesday Ophelia’s old journal, it triggers a powerful vision: Aunt Ophelia is not just missing, but imprisoned in a dungeon-like room within Grandmama Hester’s (Joanna Lumley) mansion.
This revelation sets the stage for Wednesday Season 3, promising a family reckoning that will shake the Addams household to its core.
The Perfect Match: Why Eva Green is Born to Play Aunt Ophelia
The show’s creators, Al Gough and Miles Millar, exclusively confirmed the casting, stating, “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.”
This role also marks a welcome reunion for Eva Green and director Tim Burton, who previously collaborated on Dark Shadows and Miss Peregrine. Their shared gothic sensibilities promise a truly unforgettable interpretation of Aunt Ophelia.
Eva Green herself expressed her excitement, telling fans, “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.”
What Does This Mean for Wednesday-Season 3?
The emergence of Aunt Ophelia is poised to be a central plot point in Wednesday Season 3. As co-creator Miles Millar teased, “Ophelia has been gone a long time. It’s left a hole in Morticia’s life and a lot of unanswered questions. The reemergence of Ophelia is going to hit this family like a bomb.”
For Wednesday Addams, Aunt Ophelia represents a dark mirror—a potential future where her own powers lead to isolation and tragedy. Her journey to uncover the truth about her aunt’s imprisonment and the ominous message “Wednesday must die” will undoubtedly drive the narrative of Wednesday Season 3.
The full cast of Wednesday Season 3 is set to return, including Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley.
With Eva Green now officially part of the family, the anticipation for Wednesday Season 3 has reached a fever pitch. One thing is certain: the Addams family will never be the same.
