Excitement for Wednesday season 3 has not merely grown; it has been briskly escorted upward by the arrival of a reunion fans never stopped anticipating. Wednesday Season 2 ended with a flair for consequence: Aunt Ophelia alive under Grandmama Frump’s custody, a prophetic insistence that Wednesday must die, and Enid bolting forward as a fully realized alpha werewolf, steering the narrative toward darker familial entanglements.

That excitement intensifies further with a Stranger Things addition and the resonance of a long-anticipated reunion.

Winona Ryder has officially joined Wednesday Season 3 as Tabitha, marking a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice reunion with Jenna Ortega. Netflix revealed the casting through an energetic cast unveiling video, while Deadline reported the accompanying press statements.

“When it comes to Outcasts, Winona Ryder is the GOAT,” said creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar in a statement. They credited Ryder’s defining collaborations with Tim Burton, citing unforgettable cinema icons and praising their recent work together on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

“I am so happy that Winona has joined us, she fits right into this world,” Burton said. He described Ryder as a close creative partner and emphasized his continued excitement working alongside her. His approval made Netflix’s cast unveiling video land perfectly, a timing so right even Goldilocks would applaud.

Winona Ryder’s arrival, complete with her two-take reputation, is only the opening act as Wednesday Season 3 continues to upgrade its cast.

Eva Green leads the new wave of additions to Wednesday Season 3, joining as Aunt Ophelia Frump, the psychic sister of Morticia Addams. Her casting points toward a deeper exploration of inherited power and long-buried family secrets as production begins in Ireland.

Veteran actor Chris Sarandon, widely recognized for The Princess Bride, enters the season in an undisclosed role, a decision that adds intrigue rather than confusion. He is joined by Noah Taylor, whose Peaky Blinders work suggests morally layered figures slipping into Nevermore’s shadows.

Completing the expansion are Oscar Morgan, recently seen in Gotham Knights, and Kennedy Moyer, both introduced as fresh outcasts. Their arrival reinforces a Season 3 focus on generational friction and a reshuffled social order within Nevermore Academy. Together with Winona Ryder, the expanded ensemble points toward a season intent on recalibrating authority and inherited influence.
