Winona Ryder will guest star in season 3 of Netflix’s hit show “Wednesday”, reuniting with her “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” co-star Jenna Ortega, longtime collaborator Tim Burton, Al Gough, and Miles Millar.
“Wednesday” star Ortega played Ryder’s daughter in the film, while Burton directed the film and continues to direct and executive produce “Wednesday.”
Meanwhile, “Wednesday” creators and showrunners Gough and Millar wrote the screenplay for “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.”
“I am so happy that Winona has joined us, she fits right into this world,” Burton said in a statement. “And she’s a dear friend. I always feel lucky to work with her.”
The role witnesses a swift return to the giant streamer for Ryder, who recently starred in the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things,” having originally joined that show in 2016. Details on her role are being kept under wraps.
“When it comes to Outcasts, Winona Ryder is the GOAT,” said Gough and Millar. “Her legendary partnership with Tim Burton has defined some of cinema’s most unforgettable characters. We loved collaborating with her on ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ and couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome her to Nevermore.”
Ryder famously starred in the original “Beetlejuice” in 1988 before returning for the long-awaited sequel in 2024.
She and Burton also collaborated on the critically-acclaimed feature “Edward Scissorhands” and the 2012 animated movie “Frankenweenie.”
Ryder is a two-time Oscar nominee — one for best supporting actress for “The Age of Innocence” and another for best actress for “Little Women.”
Other TV roles include “The Plot Against America” and “Show Me a Hero.”
Aside from Ortega, the cast of “Wednesday” includes Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, Isaac Ordonez, Billie Piper, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Victor Dorobantu, Evie Templeton, with Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joanna Lumley, and Fred Armisen. Eva Green will play Morticia Addams’ sister, Ophelia.
Chris Sarandon (“Dog Day Afternoon,” “The Princess Bride”), Noah Taylor (“Peaky Blinders,” “Game Of Thrones”), Oscar Morgan (“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” “Gotham Knights”), and Kennedy Moyer (“Task,” “Roofman”) are all set to appear in the hit show’s third season.
“Wednesday” season 3 is officially in production, with the show, as with past seasons, being shot in Dublin, Ireland.
The show is based on characters created by Charles Addams. Gough, Millar, and Burton are all executive producers. MGM Television is the studio.
“Wednesday” Season 2 was released in two parts in August and September 2025.
Like the first season, the second went on to become a massive hit for Netflix, where it currently ranks as the streamer’s fifth most-watched English-language season of TV ever. Season 1 is the most-watched season ever.
