The anticipation is building as we finally prepare to meet Morticia Addams’ intriguing sister, Ophelia, in the upcoming season three of Wednesday. The role is set to be played by none other than Eva Green, a seasoned figure in the gothic genre with a rich portfolio that includes work on Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and Dumbo, along with the eerie series Penny Dreadful.
In her portrayal of Ophelia Frump, Green is embracing a character shrouded in mystery. As reported by Deadline, fans had speculated about Lady Gaga’s Rosaline Rotwood potentially being linked to Wednesday Addams (played by Jenna Ortega), but it seems the spotlight is squarely on Ophelia. We got a brief glimpse of her character in season two, where her signature long, blonde hair drew attention; however, the details revealed by a haunting vision pointed to a darker fate. Ophelia is being held captive by Grandmama Frump (Joanna Lumley), adding an unsettling twist to her story.
The intrigue deepens when Ophelia ominously scribbles “Wednesday must die” on the wall, seemingly in blood. Green’s casting is significant, marking her as a pivotal figure for the series moving forward. Given the buzz around her, it’s clear the creators wanted someone exceptional, beyond just a pale wig on Catherine Zeta-Jones.
In a statement to Netflix’s Tudum blog, Wednesday creators Al Gough and Miles Millar expressed their excitement about Green’s involvement, asserting, “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.”
Green herself shared her enthusiasm, stating, “I’m thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of Wednesday as Aunt Ophelia. This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world, I can’t wait to bring my own touch of cuckoo-ness to the Addams family.”
What makes Wednesday stand out is not just its gothic charm, but also its rich storytelling and character dynamics which keep viewers coming back for more.
