Winona Ryder confirmed to join ‘Wednesday’ cast for new season
Wednesday Addams is back, baby, and the world is already losing its mind because season three just started filming in Dublin. The moment the announcement dropped, fans acted like they had been waiting at the gates of Nevermore with a suitcase. But the main reason why everyone is excited is that Winona Ryder is joining the season.
Yes, you read that right. Winnona freaking Ryder. Sit down if you need to because this is a crossover, the universe hand-picked for the dramatic children… and adults. The reason why it feels so surreal is that Winona just wrapped Stranger Things, and nobody expected her to just show up in one of Netflix’s biggest franchises.
Winona walking into Wednesday’s world is a blessing for real. This woman shows up on screen, and the atmosphere changes. Watching her enter Nevermore feels like a missing piece of a puzzle finally fitting in. And with Tim Burton returning, everything already has that stylish touch that made the show iconic.
So yes, Wednesday is returning, Winona Ryder is floating in with a perfect haunted energy, and season three looks ready to snatch the fanbase bald all over again. Let’s get into it.
What to expect in Wednesday Season 3
Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar said they want this season to push Wednesday deeper into the trouble she pretends she is too cool to feel. They want bigger emotions with sharper twists and turns. This season, they want moments that force Wednesday to react, even when she wants to stand there like a statue judging everyone.
One major shake-up this time is more Addams relatives. Let’s see, we are getting Eva Green as Aunt Ophelia, Morticia’s long-lost sister. And for those unaware of the family dynamics, Eva Green walking into the Addams Family is a spiritual experience. This woman brings the tension and elegance of a secretive person, along with a smile that Wednesday will absolutely hate.
Filming has started, so very soon your feed will be filled with the BTS scenes of the set and hints about the plotlines from the makers. But watching Wednesday get emotionally bullied by the universe will be the highlight of this season… apart from Winona Ryder, of course.
Who else is joining apart from Winona Ryder?
Netflix is going really big this time because the rest of the ensemble includes Chris Sarandon, Noah Taylor, Oscar Morgan, and Kennedy Moyer. They all showed up in a welcome-feast video looking suspicious in a way that fits perfectly into Nevermore. This school does not attract normal people, and Netflix has proudly continued that tradition.
Eva Green’s Ophelia adds even more tension with the missing Addams aunt walking into the story. Oh, the drama writes itself. Also, it will be fun to watch Morticia’s dynamic with her sister. Wednesday will be dragged into all of it, whether she wants to or not. But most importantly, all eyes will be on what role Winona gets to play.
The returning cast includes Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Luis Guzmán. And Tim Burton said this season is special. If Burton says something is special, you’d better not take it lightly.
