BAFTA Award winner Eva Green has signed on to season three of Netflix’s Wednesday as Morticia Addams’ sister, Ophelia. Commenting on her new role, Green said, “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.”

Green’s credits include Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Dirty Angels, Liaison, The Luminaries, and Penny Dreadful.

“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,” said creators, showrunners, and writers Al Gough and Miles Millar.

The popular series launched in November 2022, with season two delayed because of the strikes. It finally arrived in August 2025 and sits as the fourth most watched English-language series in Netflix’s history. 

Jenna Ortega stars as Wednesday Addams, Emma Myers plays Enid Sinclair, Hunter Doohan is Tyler Galpin, Joy Sunday is Bianca Barclay, and Moosa Mostafa is Eugene Ottinger. Georgie Farmer is Ajax Petropolus, Isaac Ordonez is Pugsley Addams, Billie Piper is Isadora Capri, and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo is Sheriff Ritchie Santiago.

The series also features Victor Dorobantu as Thing, Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille, Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

Executive producers include Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, and Tim Burton.
