Winona Ryder reunites with Jenna Ortega for Wednesday Season 3

Winona Ryder has officially joined the cast of Wednesday Season 3, which is currently in production in Dublin, Ireland, with filming commencing on February 23, 2026. Her casting is highly significant as it marks a reunion with director Tim Burton, building on their shared gothic film history, and reunites her with co-star Jenna Ortega following their collaboration on Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Ryder is set to play a character named Tabitha, described as having deep ties to the Addams universe and Nevermore Academy, hinting at a substantial role rather than just a cameo. The addition of Ryder, alongside new cast members like Eva Green and Chris Sarandon, is expected to add considerable weight to the season. With core cast members returning, Season 3 is anticipated to land sometime in 2027 and is seen as a potential signal for the story's future direction.
