Wednesday Season 3 brings the show’s most star-studded cast yet, led by two big additions: Eva Green and Winona Ryder. Netflix unveiled the full line-up with a stylish cast announcement video, framed as an Addams family dinner party, on February 23, 2026. Here’s who plays whom, from the headline names to the returning core.
The Season 3 cast announcement video
Before the names, the reveal itself is worth a look. Netflix announced the cast through a short video built around an elaborate dinner at the Addams table, where each guest stands in for a new or returning castmate. It’s a fitting introduction for a season that digs into the family’s history.
Eva Green is Aunt Ophelia
The headline casting is Eva Green as Aunt Ophelia, a long-lost member of the Addams family and Morticia’s sister. Crucially, Ophelia is a Raven like Wednesday, which ties her directly to Wednesday’s powers and to Morticia’s past. She isn’t a simple guest figure, then, but the character the whole season seems to orbit. Green’s gothic screen presence, moreover, fits the role almost too perfectly.
Winona Ryder is Tabitha
The second big name is Winona Ryder, who joins as Tabitha in a guest role. For fans, this carries extra weight: Ryder reunites with director Tim Burton, decades after their work together on films that helped define his gothic style. Her casting alone connects Wednesday back to Burton’s wider universe.
The other new cast members
Beyond the two leads, Season 3 widens the world with a long list of newcomers. Among the most notable:
- Billie Piper, in a yet-undisclosed role
- Lena Headey, the Game of Thrones star, as a guest
- Chris Sarandon as Balthazar
- Fred Armisen, returning to the Addams orbit
- Noah Taylor as Cyrus, Oscar Morgan as Atticus and Kennedy Moyer as Daisy
- Joanna Lumley, Andrew McCarthy and James Lance in guest roles
Together, these additions point to a season built around new family threads and fresh mysteries rather than the school-bound plots of earlier years. The sheer number of big names, in particular, signals how far the show has grown since its first season.
Who returns
The familiar core is back. Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams, with Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez and Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair. Hunter Doohan also returns as Tyler, the thread Season 2 left hanging. So the new faces don’t replace the old ones; they expand the world around them.
