With the cameras already rolling, Netflix's Addams Family spin-off ‘Wednesday’ has boosted its cast by three, with Lena Headey ('Game of Thrones'), Andrew McCarthy ('Pretty in Pink') and James Lance ('Ted Lasso') all signing up.

They join an ensemble that already includes fellow new recruits Eva Green (‘Casino Royale’), Winona Ryder (‘Beetlejuice’), Chris Sarandon (‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’), Noah Taylor (‘Submarine’), Oscar Morgan ('Peaceful') and Kennedy Moyer (‘Roofman’).

Tim Burton is once more involved as producer and director, with Alfred Gough and Miles Millar still running the show.

What’s the story of ‘Wednesday’ Season 3?

While there is no official plotline out there yet, the second season ended with Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) heading off with her Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) to rescue roommate and friend Enid (Emma Myers) from being trapped as an alpha werewolf.

When will ‘Wednesday’ Season 3 hit Netflix?

You’d need Wednesday’s psychic abilities to guess that at this point, but we can presume that it’ll either hit later this year or (more likely) early in 2027.
