Netflix has confirmed the casting of Eva Green to play Ophelia, Morticia Addams’ sister, in the highly anticipated third season of Wednesday. This announcement marks an important milestone in the production, as the series has proven to be a great success for the platform, leading to its renewal before the second season ended. Green, known for her collaboration with director Tim Burton, who has directed the series, brings with her a strong background that promises to enrich the story of the Addams family.
Eva Green will be Wednesday’s aunt
The character of Ophelia was introduced literally at the end of the second season, revealed from behind while writing an ominous message on the wall: “Wednesday must die.” This unsettling debut left viewers with many questions about her role and intentions, generating an air of mystery that fans have been eager to explore. With Green’s addition, rumors surrounding the possibility of Lady Gaga taking on the role of Ophelia are clarified, an option that many admired, but which has ultimately been debunked with the casting of the French actress.
While a release date for the third season has not yet been announced, the wait is expected to be shorter than that of the second, which had a prolonged gap of almost three years since the premiere of the first. It is evident that this long interval affected the show’s following, so the production is under pressure to regain the audience’s attention. Meanwhile, interest in ‘Wednesday’ remains high, and the casting of Eva Green undoubtedly further fuels expectations for what is to come.
