WEDNESDAY Season 3 Adds Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy, and James Lance as Guest Stars
Things are getting even more interesting at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday is still deep in production over in Ireland, and now the series has added three more names to its growing roster of guest stars.
Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy, and James Lance are officially joining Season 3 in guest roles. Headey is best known for Game of Thrones, McCarthy for Weekend at Bernies, and Lance for Ted Lasso, so this lineup brings a cool blend of drama, nostalgia, and sharp comedic energy into the mix.
They’ll be joining an already loaded slate of new additions, including Eva Green as Aunt Ophelia, Winona Ryder as Tabitha, Chris Sarandon as Balthazar, Noah Taylor as Cyrus, Oscar Morgan as Atticus, and Kennedy Moyer as Daisy.
Of course, the heart of the show isn’t going anywhere. The returning cast includes Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, Emma Myers as Enid, Hunter Doohan as Tyler, Joy Sunday as Bianca, Moosa Mostafa as Eugene, Georgie Farmer as Ajax, Billie Piper as Isadora Capri, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Ritchie Santiago, Victor Dorobantu as Thing, and Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille.
On top of that, Joanna Lumley returns as Grandmama Hester Frump, along with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, Wednesday follows the iconic Addams daughter as she navigates life at Nevermore Academy, all while figuring out her psychic abilities and untangling dark mysteries tied to her family’s past.
Season 1 delivered a murder mystery that traced back to Morticia and Gomez’s time at the school, setting the tone for the twisted storytelling fans love.
Season 2 leaned further into the Addams family dynamics, especially the complicated bond between Wednesday and Morticia. It also expanded the world with new characters and left fans hanging with some wild developments.
Aunt Ophelia being hidden away in Grandmama’s basement, Enid’s Alpha transformation that might not be reversible, and Isadora Capri recruiting Tyler into a Hyde collective all left the story wide open for what comes next.
With Tim Burton directing and executive producing, and MGM Television backing the series, Wednesday doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon.
