Eva Green Joins 'Wednesday' Season 3 Cast as Enigmatic Aunt Ophelia
Penny Dreadful star Eva Green has officially been confirmed to join the cast of the hit Netflix series ‘Wednesday’ for its third season. Green will take on the role of Aunt Ophelia, the enigmatic aunt of protagonist Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega).
The casting announcement follows months of speculation regarding which actress would fill the role of the character whose name was mentioned throughout the second season.
Show creators and co-showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar expressed their enthusiasm for Eva Green’s addition to the cast, calling her an “inspired choice”:
“Eva Green has always brought an exhilarating, singular presence to the screen — elegant, haunting and beautifully unpredictable. Those qualities make her the perfect choice for Aunt Ophelia. We’re excited to see how she transforms the role and expands Wednesday’s world,” they said in an official statement.
Green’s previous work in dark, gothic, and stylized projects, such as Penny Dreadful and Casino Royale, aligns perfectly with the aesthetic and tone of the Addams Family universe. Her casting is expected to bring a new layer of complexity and depth to Wednesday’s world.
