Get ready for more spine-chilling adventures because 'Wednesday' Season 3 is officially in production, and it’s bringing a wave of fresh faces to Nevermore Academy! But here’s where it gets exciting: four new actors are joining the cast, and their additions are already sparking curiosity among fans. Let’s dive into what’s brewing in this darkly delightful world.
Chris Sarandon (known for Dog Day Afternoon and The Princess Bride), Noah Taylor (Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones), Oscar Morgan (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Gotham Knights), and Kennedy Moyer (Task, Roofman) are set to shake things up in the upcoming season. These new castings come hot on the heels of the announcement that Winona Ryder will guest star, and let’s not forget Eva Green’s earlier reveal as Morticia Addams’ sister. Talk about a star-studded lineup!
But here’s where it gets controversial: Noah Taylor and Chris Sarandon both have history with director Tim Burton—Taylor worked with him on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, while Sarandon voiced Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas. Does this mean their roles will be more significant, or is Burton just reuniting with old friends? Fans are already speculating.
Series creators Al Gough and Miles Millar couldn’t contain their excitement: ‘It’s our dark delight to fling open Nevermore Academy’s gates once more as we begin production on Season Three. We thank our invincible cast and crew for their continued commitment to doom and gloom. To the fans, your twisted theories have inspired nightmares. This season, we’re welcoming new students, new teachers, and digging up long-buried Addams Family secrets. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.’
Filming, as always, is taking place in Dublin, Ireland, with Jenna Ortega reprising her role as Wednesday Addams. And this is the part most people miss: the season picks up right where we left off, with Wednesday and Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) racing to save Enid (Emma Myers) from her alpha werewolf curse. Will they succeed, or is Enid’s fate sealed? Only time will tell.
Tim Burton shared his enthusiasm: ‘I’m so excited to be back for Season 3 and to reunite with the original cast. Having dear friends like Winona, Eva, Chris, and Noah on board makes this season extra special. I feel incredibly lucky.’ But here’s the question: with so many familiar faces, will Season 3 lean more into nostalgia, or will it break new ground? Let us know what you think in the comments!
The rest of the cast includes Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, Isaac Ordonez, Billie Piper, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Victor Dorobantu, Evie Templeton, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Joanna Lumley. Based on Charles Addams’ iconic characters, the show continues to be a massive hit for Netflix, with Season 2 ranking as the streamer’s fifth most-watched English-language season ever. Season 1? Still holding the top spot.
With MGM Television at the helm and Gough, Millar, and Burton as executive producers, Wednesday Season 3 is shaping up to be its most ambitious yet. But here’s the real question: Can it top the previous seasons, or will it fall into the trap of overstuffing its storyline? Share your thoughts below—we’re all ears!
