The previous season of Wednesday, which debuted in August 2025, saw a variety of guest appearances, featuring the likes of Lady Gaga and Christopher Lloyd. In addition to Ortega returning as Wednesday, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán will reprise their roles as Morticia and Gomez Addams, respectively. Burton remarked on his anticipation, saying, “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 Ryder, Green, Sarandon, and Taylor is expected to lend a unique and nostalgic flavor to this new season, making it particularly special.
