Netflix has confirmed that Winona Ryder will join the cast of Wednesday Season 3, reuniting her with longtime collaborator Tim Burton and co‑star Jenna Ortega, with whom she recently appeared in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
In a stylish announcement trailer that mirrors the show’s gothic aesthetic, Ryder was revealed to be playing a character named Tabitha, adding even more star power and intrigue to the supernatural series. Eva Green will portray Ophelia as teased at the finale of Season 2, with additional cast members including Chris Sarandon, Noah Taylor, Oscar Morgan and Kennedy Moyer, all set to bring fresh dynamics to Nevermore Academy.
The third season is now officially in production, continuing the momentum from the show’s record-breaking debut in 2022, which quickly became one of Netflix’s most-watched English-language series of all time. Directed by Tim Burton, the series has garnered a massive global following for its unique blend of mystery, dark humor and boarding school drama at Nevermore Academy. With the addition of Ryder – who famously collaborated with Burton on Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands – fans are eagerly anticipating how her character will interact with the macabre world of the Addams family when the new season eventually arrives on the platform.
