Wednesday Season 3 adds Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy, and James Lance as Guest Stars
Before the second season of their hit Addams Family show Wednesday even premiered, Netflix had already ordered a third season of the show. Production on Wednesday season 3 is currently underway near Dublin, Ireland, and the latest update brings three notable additions to the cast: Lena Headey (best known for Game of Thrones), Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo’s Fire), and James Lance (Ted Lasso) will all appear as guest stars in the upcoming season.

Status: Filming
Location: Dublin, Ireland

What Is Wednesday About?
Wednesday comes to us from Millar Gough Ink, Tim Burton Productions, Toluca Pictures, and MGM Television, and is described as a comedic, supernaturally-infused coming-of-age series that follows the teenage girl’s years as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the town, and solve a mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new relationships at Nevermore.
Here’s the season 2 synopsis: Wednesday Addams returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.

Wednesday season 3 will see Eva Green joining the cast to play Aunt Ophelia, the sister of Wednesday’s mother Morticia. Green has also worked with Tim Burton multiple times. Their previous collaborations: Dark Shadows, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and Dumbo.
On the classic sitcom version of The Addams Family, Ophelia was presented as being the opposite of Morticia: a cheerful blonde. That’s not Wednesday‘s approach. References to her on the show have set her up as a troubled psychic who was committed to a psychiatric hospital. In the final moments of season 2, she was shown to be locked in a cell beneath her mother’s house, and she had written “Wednesday Must Die” on the wall in her own blood. So there has been quite a build-up to this character’s season 3 appearance.
