Wednesday Season 3 Welcomes Screen Legends to Nevermore

The gates of Nevermore Academy are swinging open once again as Netflix kicks off production on the third season of its record breaking series Wednesday. While Jenna Ortega returns to embody the titular gloom seeker, the streaming giant has confirmed an impressive roster of new faces that will be joining the fray in Ireland. Leading the pack of newcomers is the incomparable Steve Buscemi, who joins the series as a regular cast member. Though his specific role is currently being kept under wraps, Buscemi’s signature blend of neurosis and charm feels like a perfect fit for the macabre world envisioned by Tim Burton.

Adding a layer of legacy to the production, Christopher Lloyd is set to appear in a guest starring role. Lloyd is no stranger to this universe, having famously portrayed Uncle Fester in the 1990s feature films. While Fred Armisen will continue to play the version of Fester established in this timeline, Lloyd’s presence serves as a sophisticated nod to the franchise’s history and has already sent the fanbase into a frenzy of speculation regarding who his new character might be.

The casting blitz does not stop there. The production has also secured Thandiwe Newton for a major role, alongside a diverse group of guest stars including Joanna Lumley, Haley Joel Osment, and Heather Matarazzo. These veteran performers will be joining returning favorites like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, and Isaac Ordonez. As the production shifts its primary filming location from Romania to the lush, moody landscapes of Ireland, the scale of the show appears to be expanding significantly. With a cast this deep and the creative team promising even more supernatural mystery, Wednesday is positioning itself to remain the crown jewel of the Netflix lineup.
