\n\tWednesday<\/a> Season 3 has begun production in Ireland, adding Chris Sarandon (Dog Day Afternoon, The Princess Bride), Noah Taylor (Peaky Blinders, Game Of Thrones), Oscar Morgan (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Gotham Knights), Kennedy Moyer (Task, Roofman) and more to the cast.<\/p>\n

\n\tThey join previously announced\u00a0Winona Ryder (Stranger Things, Beetlejuice) \u2014 whose guest role casting was unveiled earlier this morning<\/a> \u2014 and Eva Green\u00a0(Miss Peregrine\u2019s Home For Peculiar Children and Dark Shadows,) who will portray Morticia Addams\u2019 sister<\/a>, Ophelia. Returning cast includes<\/a> Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia Addams), Luis Guzm\u00e1n (Gomez Addams) and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a promo video for the start of production (see below), Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Evie Templeton, Isaac Ordonez, Joanna Lumley, Georgie Farmer, Moosa Mustafa, Victor Dorobantu, Fred Armisen, Billie Piper and Hunter Doohan were all listed to return in fashion of a creepy crawly feast by Lurch and another servant. Enid\u2019s placard goes up in flames. All Nevermore students except for Tyler had an N above their names, and he has an O. Addams family members like Wednesday, her brother and parents have an A, and Grandmama and Aunt Ophelia have an F for Frump.<\/p>\n

\n\tRyder\u2019s character is Tabitha. Noah Taylor will portray Cyrus, Oscar Morgan will play Atticus and Kennedy Moyer will play Daisy. All of these new additional characters have a capital B monogram above their names on their place-setting cards. Chris Sarandon\u2019s character is Balthazar. There is a character by that name in the Addams family mythology, Cousin Balthazar, though he is supposedly dead because Gomez and Morticia met at his funeral. This could explain the black bottle on which his name is emblazoned. As for the question mark on the second bottle next to his, that could be a new character or something else entirely Aunt Ophelia (Eva Green) gets a cake. The video ends with a dish lid unveiling Uncle Fester\u2019s bald head.<\/p>\n

\n\tWednesday\u00a0Season 2 debuted in 2025, split into two batches. It rose to the #5 most watched English language series of all time<\/a>, following the record-breaking success of Season 1 of the global hit series, which still remains the most watched English-language series of all time on Netflix<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 2 ended with several cliffhangers, such as the reveal that Aunt Ophelia was in Grandmama Hester\u2019s (Joanna Lumley) basement, Enid\u2019s Alpha wolf-out during the full moon \u2014 which may be impossible to reverse \u2014 and Isadora Capri\u2019s (Billie Piper) offer to Tyler (Hunter Doohan) to join a group of Hydes.<\/p>\n
