Winona Ryder Joins Netflix Series ‘Wednesday’ as Guest Star

Winona Ryder is heading to Nevermore. The actress will appear as the character Tabitha in a guest role during the upcoming third season of Wednesday, which is currently in production.

The popular Netflix series will see Ryder reunite with her Beetlejuice Beetlejuice co-star Jenna Ortega and director Tim Burton. “I am so happy that Winona has joined us, she fits right into this world,” “Wednesday” Burton shared in a statement, per Variety.

Following the recent conclusion of Stranger Things, Ryder joins newly announced cast members Chris Sarandon, Noah Taylor, Oscar Morgan, and Kennedy Moyer. These new additions follow the casting of Eva Green, who will play Morticia Addams’ estranged sister, Ophelia.

“It’s our dark delight to fling open Nevermore Academy’s gates once more as we begin production on Season 3,” showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar told Netflix Tudum. “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.”

Wednesday Season Two premiered in August 2025, returning just under three years after the debut season. It packed in a number of guest-star appearances, including Lady Gaga, Thandie Newton, Haley Joel Osment, Christopher Lloyd, and more.

The upcoming season will see the return of Ortega as Wednesday Addams, plus Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán as Morticia and Gomez Addams. “I’m so excited to be back for Season 3, and it’s great to be reunited with all of the original cast,” Burton said. “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.”
