Netflix has sent a thrilling jolt through the fanbase of its smash hit series, Wednesday, by finally revealing the actress who will bring the enigmatic Aunt Ophelia to life.
A Bond Icon Enters the Addams Family
After months of speculation following the cliffhanger ending of season two, the streaming giant has confirmed that the role will be portrayed by none other than Eva Green. The acclaimed actress, famous for her portrayal of Vesper Lynd in the James Bond film Casino Royale, is now set to join the dark and kooky universe.
The announcement, made on 25th November 2025, confirms the long-standing fan theories and sets the stage for a major new dynamic in the show's third season.
How Season Two Set the Stage
The second season of Wednesday, which was released earlier this year, concluded on a major cliffhanger. The final moments saw Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, preparing to embark on a road trip to find her best friend Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), who had fully transformed into a werewolf.
As Wednesday and her Uncle Fester, portrayed by Fred Armisen, began their journey, the young Addams had a powerful vision. This vision confirmed that her troubled aunt, Ophelia, whom many believed to be dead, was actually still alive. This tease left audiences desperate to know who would play the mysterious relative.
What This Casting Means for Season Three
The casting of Eva Green is a major coup for the series. Green is renowned for her ability to portray complex, intense, and often mysterious characters, making her a perfect fit for the Addams family and the show's gothic tone.
Her introduction as Morticia Addams' sister promises to explore new layers of the family's history and dynamics, potentially unearthing long-buried secrets. Fans can expect a performance filled with the same dark charisma and depth that Green has brought to her most iconic roles.
With production on Wednesday season three underway, this announcement has significantly raised anticipation for the next chapter of Wednesday's supernatural adventures at Nevermore Academy and beyond.
