Chris Sarandon, Noah Taylor, Oscar Morgan, and Kennedy Moyer Join ‘Wednesday’ Season 3

Even more names are joining the cast of Nevermore! Netflix has announced that production for the highly anticipated third season of Wednesday is now underway near Dublin, Ireland—and a fresh batch of outcasts and normies are joining the fray.

These four new actors join an increasingly stacked Season 3 roster. As confirmed earlier today , the show is staging a massive Beetlejuice reunion with Winona Ryder stepping into an undisclosed guest role, in addition to Noah B. Taylor departing the cast, and Joanna Lumley stepping up to series regular. Additionally, fans can look forward to the arrival of Eva Green (Penny Dreadful, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children), who has been cast as Ophelia—the long-lost sister of Catherine Zeta-Jones’s Morticia Addams.

Here’s a breakdown of the new faces heading to Nevermore, what the showrunners are teasing, and an update on the show’s star-studded guest roster.

Meet the New Cast Members for Season 3

Netflix has announced four new additions to the ensemble. While Netflix is keeping their exact roles under wraps (we don’t know who is playing a student, a teacher, or perhaps a new supernatural threat), here is the new talent joining the Wednesday universe:

• Chris Sarandon: Best known for his iconic roles in Dog Day Afternoon and The Princess Bride (and beloved by Tim Burton fans as the speaking voice of Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas).
• Noah Taylor: Fans of prestige television will immediately recognize Taylor from his memorable turns in Peaky Blinders and Game of Thrones.
• Oscar Morgan: The rising star, known for his work in the DC series Gotham Knights, is also gearing up for a massive year with a role in the upcoming Game of Thrones spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
• Kennedy Moyer: A talented newcomer whose recent credits include the upcoming HBO series Task and the true-crime film Roofman.

Their roles are currently undisclosed. 

Executive producer and director Tim Burton expressed his joy about reuniting with several of the new (and previously announced) additions, telling Netflix, “I’m so excited to be back for Season 3, and it’s great to be reunited with all of the original cast. The addition of some dear friends and past collaborators of mine — Winona, Eva, Chris, and Noah — makes this season extra special. I feel very lucky.”

What Else Do We Know About Season 3?

With cameras officially rolling near Dublin, showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar are setting the stage for an incredibly dark and twisted third outing. They released an ominous statement to fans thanking them for their ravenous engagement. The statement, per Netflix, reads:

“It’s our dark delight to fling open Nevermore Academy’s gates once more as we begin production on Season 3. We thank our invincible cast and crew for their continued commitment to doom and gloom. To the fans, we appreciate your patience and ravenous online commentary — your twisted theories have inspired nightmares. This season, we welcome new students, new teachers, and excavate some long-rotting Addams Family secrets. Don’t say you weren’t warned.”
