Netflix’s hit series “Wednesday” has exciting news for fans, as it has officially cast Eva Green to play the role of Morticia Addams’ sister, Aunt Ophelia, in Season 3. Known for her captivating performances in productions like “Penny Dreadful,” Green’s involvement is anticipated to add a new layer of intrigue to the show’s dynamic.
Creators and showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar expressed their enthusiasm for Green’s 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.” The announcement hints at the character’s potential to transform the storyline and expand Wednesday Addams’ already rich universe.
Green herself shared her excitement about joining the cast, noting, “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 cuckooness to the Addams family.” The anticipation surrounding her performance is palpable, with fans eager to see how she will interact with Wednesday, Morticia, and the rest of the Addams clan.
Earlier in August, Millar hinted at the type of chaos Ophelia’s introduction could bring, describing her as a “missing member of the family” and inviting fans to imagine the dynamics between Wednesday, Morticia, Ophelia, and Grandmama. This prospect has sparked excitement about exploring new family relationships and storylines in the upcoming season.
“Wednesday” Season 2 was released in two parts, in August and September 2025, but a specific release date for Season 3 has yet to be announced. As anticipation builds, fans can look forward to this new chapter in the show, which promises to blend darkness with humor while deepening the Addams family’s lore.
The casting of Eva Green as Aunt Ophelia is expected to enrich the narrative landscape of “Wednesday,” and fans are eager to see how her character will influence the journey of Wednesday and her family.
