Eva Green has been announced as the latest addition to the cast of Netflix’s hit series ‘Wednesday’ for its highly anticipated third season. According to Deadline, Green will portray Aunt Ophelia, a mysterious and troubled member of the Addams family, who made a brief but intriguing appearance in the final moments of Season 2. This casting marks the first major update for the upcoming season, which was greenlit even before Season 2 premiered. The revelation puts an end to widespread fan speculation, including theories that Lady Gaga’s character, Rosalyn Rottwood, might be Ophelia Frump. Described as a raven-like figure akin to her niece Wednesday (Jenna Ortega), Ophelia is known for pushing her psychic abilities to extraordinary limits. Her backstory reveals that she was institutionalized at Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital by her mother, Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley), before escaping. ‘Wednesday,’ created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, follows the supernatural adventures of Wednesday Addams during her time at Nevermore Academy. Green’s return to the genre is notable, following her acclaimed role in Showtime’s ‘Penny Dreadful,’ which earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Her upcoming projects include ‘The Trees,’ ‘Blood on Snow,’ and ‘Just Play Dead.’
