While we don\u2019t have the details on the characters they are playing just yet, both Wednesday and Game of Thrones fans are excited to see Headey, who played the role of Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones, involved in the Wednesday franchise, and we can\u2019t wait to see her mix it up with the rest of the cast.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Game-of-Thrones-Lena-Headey.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1639388\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned, Wednesday is adding some major star power for its third season. In addition to Headey, who starred in not only Game of Thrones but also Masters of the Universe: Revolution, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, the series adds Orange is the New Black and The Blacklist star Andrew McCarthy and Marie Antoinette and Bronson star James Lance.<\/p>\n<p>The previous big reveal for season 3 was Ryder joining the show, which will bring things full circle in a way. Ryder worked with Tim Burton on the original Beetlejuice, which is why fans were so excited that Ryder was reprising her role in the sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. That film also brought Ortega into the Beetlejuice world, and since Ortega had already worked with Burton on the Wednesday franchise, the Burton-verse, as it were, was now even more connected.<\/p>\n<p>Other stars that will join season 3 are Green (Dark Shadows, Miss Peregrine\u2019s Home for Peculiar Children), Sarandon (The Nightmare Before Christmas), Noah Taylor (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Kennedy Moyer (Roofman), and another Game of Thrones franchise star in Oscar Morgan (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms).<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday season 3 is already in production, so there\u2019s a chance we could see the season debut sometime later this year. In the meantime, Wednesday seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
