Eva Green joins 'Wednesday' Season 3 cast as 'Aunt Ophelia'

Eva Green joins the Wednesday Addams universe as troubled psychic Aunt Ophelia in Season 3, marking her return to supernatural television after Penny Dreadful.

"She will be playing the role of a troubled Addams family member, Aunt Ophelia - Deadline"

Washington DC, November 25

Eva Green has joined the cast of the hit Netflix series 'Wednesday' for the third instalment of the series, reported Deadline.

She will be playing the role of a troubled Addams family member, Aunt Ophelia, seen from the back in the final seconds of the Season 2 finale.

The high-profile casting marks the first major addition for the upcoming third season of Wednesday, which was greenlit this past summer, ahead of the Season 2 premiere, reported Deadline.

This new reveal ends speculation over the mysterious character, including fan theories that Lady Gaga's Rosalyn Rottwood could be Ophelia Frump.

A raven like her niece, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega), Ophelia had pushed her psychic abilities to the limit and beyond.

She was committed to Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital by her and Morticia's (Catherine Zeta-Jones) mother, Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley), before escaping.

Ophelia's traces were believed lost, but before Wednesday, reading her aunt's journal given to her by Morticia as a token of trust at the end of the Season 2 finale, she has a vision of a woman with long blond hair and a flower crown.

Based on the characters created by Charles Addams, Wednesday is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams' (Ortega) years as a student at Nevermore Academy.

The cast includes Ortega (Wednesday Addams), Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene Ottinger), Georgie Farmer (Ajax Petropolus), Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams), Billie Piper (Isadora Capri), Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Sheriff Ritchie Santiago), Victor Dorobantu (Thing), Evie Templeton (Agnes DeMille), with Luis Guzman (Gomez Addams), Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams), Lumley (Grandmama Hester Frump) and Fred Armisen (Uncle Fester).

The series is created and written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who serve as executive producers and showrunners.

This marks a return to the genre series for Green after her starring role in Showtime's horror drama 'Penny Dreadful', which earned her a Golden Globe nomination.

Her upcoming movies include 'The Trees', 'Blood on Snow' and 'Just Play Dead'.

Finally some good news for Wednesday fans! The character sounds really interesting - a psychic who went too far and ended up in a psychiatric hospital. Eva Green will bring so much depth to this role.

I'm excited but also worried they're adding too many characters. The existing cast is already great and I hope this doesn't take away from Wednesday's main story. Still, Eva Green is a fantastic actress! 🤔
