Eva Green as Aunt Ophelia in Wednesday Season 3

The world of Wednesday has been buzzing with curiosity for months, and fans can finally breathe easy—Netflix has put an end to the endless speculation.

In a casting choice that feels almost destined, Eva Green has officially joined Wednesday Season 3 as the mysterious and long-lost Aunt Ophelia, a character whose shadow has loomed large since the Season 2 finale.

The announcement arrived with the kind of theatrical flair only Netflix can deliver. Posting on X, the streamer wrote, “Aunt Ophelia has arrived. Woefully welcoming Eva Green to WEDNESDAY Season 3.”

Within minutes, the internet exploded with excitement, fan edits and theories all over again—but this time, with a real face to anchor them.

It’s a reveal that carries weight, especially considering how Season 2 left viewers on edge. Just as Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) was preparing to hit the road with Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) in search of her missing friend Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), her powers surged with a vision that changed everything. Ophelia—once thought gone forever—appeared alive, fragile and formidable all at once.

Season 3 will now dig deeper into the Addams family’s hidden stories, peeling back layers around Ophelia’s tragic, unsettling past. A raven like Wednesday, she reportedly pushed her psychic abilities far beyond what any Addams ever dared.

The consequences were devastating: committed to the foreboding Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital by her mother, Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley), Ophelia eventually escaped… then vanished into myth.

Wednesday opened her aunt’s journal—and instantly found herself pulled into a haunting vision of a blonde woman in a flower crown.

Moments later, the truth emerged in chilling fashion: Hester descending into the mansion’s basement, where Ophelia sat imprisoned, writing “Wednesday must die” in her own blood. The imagery alone was enough to keep fans awake at night.

Though new to this iteration of the Addams universe, Ophelia is not new to its lore. Carolyn Jones famously portrayed both Morticia and Ophelia in the 1960s television series, giving the character an early life that Wednesday is now reimagining with a darker, richer edge.

Eva Green’s casting also puts to rest months of wild fan theories—including the viral speculation that Lady Gaga’s Rosalyn Rottwood was secretly Ophelia Frump.

Now, with Green on board, Season 3 gains a performer known for intensity, elegance, and a knack for playing characters who walk the tightrope between danger and vulnerability.

The show’s global success continues to soar. With an ensemble including Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Billie Piper, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joanna Lumley and more, Wednesday has firmly established itself as one of Netflix’s most captivating worlds.
