All 4 Tim Burton Veterans Officially Cast in Wednesday Season 3 (#1 Has Taken 33 Years To Reunite With Him)

by

Production for Wednesday Season 3 is now underway, with filming happening in Ireland. Like the first two seasons – including Season 1, which is Netflix’s most popular English-language series ever – this new installment will continue to build out the world of The Addams Family and will also bring together Tim Burton, the show’s executive producer, with some of his former collaborators.

Burton expressed his enthusiasm for returning for the third season and being back with the original cast. He added that working with some longtime friends and colleagues makes this season particularly meaningful, and he feels fortunate to be a part of it.

Tim Burton has been using the show Wednesday as a chance to work with actors he’s collaborated with before. In Season 1, he reunited with Christina Ricci, who famously played Wednesday Addams in the past, after they worked together on Sleepy Hollow. Other well-known actors who’ve appeared on Wednesday and previously worked with Burton include Steve Buscemi (who was in Burton’s Big Fish), Anthony Michael Hall (Edward Scissorhands), and Casper Van Dien (Sleepy Hollow). Season 3 promises even more reunions with long-time collaborators, including one partnership that began over thirty years ago.

4) Eva Green

Eva Green, a frequent collaborator with director Tim Burton, has been confirmed to appear in Season 3 of Wednesday and is expected to have a significant role. While many know her from Casino Royale, she’s worked with Burton several times before, including as Angelique Bouchard in his 2009 film Dark Shadows, a trapeze artist in the 2019 movie Dumbo, and as the lead in his 2016 adaptation of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

In Season 3 of Wednesday, Jemima Kirke will play Ophelia Frump, Morticia Addams’ sister. The show has hinted at her arrival throughout Season 2. Morticia has often discussed her shared traits with Ophelia – both in personality and their psychic powers. The season ended with a chilling, blood-written message from Ophelia: “WEDNESDAY MUST DIE.”

3) Winona Ryder

Winona Ryder is expected to return for Season 3 of Wednesday, continuing her long history of working with director Tim Burton. She first became widely known for her role as Lydia Deetz in Burton’s early film, Beetlejuice, and recently reprised that role in the 2024 sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Ryder has collaborated with Burton on several other projects, including Edward Scissorhands and the animated film Frankenweenie. She even appeared in a music video he directed for the band The Killers.

A new video from Netflix reveals Winona Ryder will appear as a character named Tabitha in Season 3 of Wednesday. While her role isn’t yet known, the video offers a small clue: the letter “B” appears on a plate confirming her character, along with four others who also have a “B.” The connection between these characters isn’t clear, but it seems they’ll be linked in some way.

2) Noah Taylor

Noah Taylor is joining Tim Burton’s Wednesday for Season 3, and while he’s only worked with Burton once before – in the 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where he played Charlie’s father – he’s a familiar face to many. You might recognize him from shows like Game of Thrones or the movie Paddington 2. Netflix has revealed Taylor will play a character named Cyrus, but details about his role are still unknown. Interestingly, Cyrus’s nameplate in a promotional video shares a “B” with Winona Ryder’s character, Tabitha.

1) Chris Sarandon

Tim Burton and actor Chris Sarandon are teaming up again for Season 3 of Wednesday, marking their first collaboration since 1993. Sarandon famously voiced Jack Skellington in Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, a film Burton produced and based on his own poem. Though Henry Selick directed and Danny Elfman sang for the character, Sarandon continued to voice Jack for years, appearing in video games like Kingdom Hearts and at Disneyland’s Halloween celebrations. This reunion is particularly special as it’s been a long wait for the pair to work together again.

Susan Sarandon will be joining the cast of Wednesday as a character named Balthazar. Details about his role are currently unknown, but the way his name was revealed—on a wine bottle next to one with only a question mark—has sparked speculation. Many believe this suggests a hidden connection or a yet-to-be-announced co-star, which is typical for the show’s mysterious style. Fans have also theorized that Sarandon might be playing a version of Cousin Balthazar, a character from a previous film who played a key role in the meeting of Morticia and Gomez, though this hasn’t been confirmed.
