In an exclusive report today, Deadline revealed that Eva Green is set to join the upcoming third season of "Wednesday" as the newest member of "The Addams Family." She will portray Ophelia, the sister of Morticia. Netflix quickly confirmed the news. The character was teased in the Season 2 finale, with her formal introduction hinted at, though her full appearance was deliberately kept under wraps, with only her back shown, possibly due to casting still being finalized or to build anticipation. Now, the official reveal confirms Green in the role.

Tim Burton, the acclaimed fantasy director and executive producer of "Wednesday," will reunite with Green for their fourth collaboration. Their partnership began with the film "Dark Shadows," followed by Green's roles in Burton's "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" and the live-action "Dumbo." Interestingly, before Catherine Zeta-Jones was cast as Morticia, many fans had considered Green a fitting choice for the iconic matriarch.
