Stranger Things Star Winona Ryder Joins Wednesday Season 3 Cast

Winona Ryder has become the latest A-lister to join the cast of Netflix’s Wednesday.

On Monday afternoon, Netflix shared a new teaser to commemorate production getting underway on the third season of the Addams Family spin-off.

The minute-long teaser featured Lurch laying out an elaborate dinner at the Addams’ home, featuring close-ups of place-cards featuring actors and characters’ names.

During the video, it was confirmed that alongside returning stars like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joanna Lumley, Billie Piper and, of course, Jenna Ortega, Winona would be joining the cast as a new character named Tabitha.

Wednesday is Winona’s first role since her role as Joyce Byers in another of Netflix’s biggest shows, Stranger Things, came to an end.

It’s also the latest in a long line of collaborations between the Oscar nominee and filmmaker Tim Burton, which has also included Edward Scissorhands, Frankenweenie and both Beetlejuice and its 2024 sequel.

“I am so happy that Winona has joined us, she fits right into this world,” Tim Burton said in a statement. “And she’s a dear friend. I always feel lucky to work with her.”

Winona will also reunite with Jenna in the new episodes of Wednesday, having played her mum in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

It was previously revealed that Eva Green would also be joining Wednesday for its next run of episodes, portraying Morticia Addams’ sister, Aunt Ophelia.

Back in September, around the release of the second season of Wednesday, cast member Fred Armisen claimed that his character, Uncle Fester, would be getting his own spin-off, though this remains yet to be officially confirmed by Netflix.

Wednesday has been a huge hit for Netflix since premiering in 2022, with the first season remaining the most-watched English-language series in the streaming platform’s history.

Both seasons of Wednesday are now streaming on Netflix.
