Aunt Ophelia's Mysterious Background

Although Aunt Ophelia never appeared physically in the first two seasons of "Wednesday," her presence is already felt through references and visions of Wednesday Addams.

Wednesday once read her aunt's diary and had a vision of Ophelia crowned with flowers, adding to the character's aura of mystery.

Ophelia is Morticia Addams' sister, also gifted with psychic powers, similar to Wednesday.

Her dark background includes a stint at Willow Hill Asylum, where she was committed by her mother, Hester Frump, for pushing her psychic abilities to the extreme.

The season two finale, "Wednesday," dropped a shocking hint that Hester was holding Ophelia captive in her basement.

There, Ophelia scrawled the chilling message "Wednesday must die" in blood on the wall, hinting at the major conflict to come.

Excitement from Creators and Cast

"Wednesday" showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar expressed their excitement about Eva Green joining the cast.

They stated that Eva Green always brings "a joyous and unique presence to the screen—elegant, haunting, and utterly unpredictable," making her the perfect choice for Aunt Ophelia.

Millar also added that Ophelia's reappearance would "hit this family like a bomb," and that the planned glimpse of her at the end of season two was intended as a major boost for season three.

Eva Green herself enthusiastically welcomed the role, stating, “I’m thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of Wednesday as Aunt Ophelia. This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world, I can’t wait to bring my own touch of cuckoo-ness to the Addams family.”

Eva Green's joining "Wednesday" marks her fourth collaboration with Tim Burton, who is one of the series' executive producers and main directors.

The two have forged a strong working relationship through several previous successful projects.

Before "Wednesday," Eva Green and Tim Burton collaborated on films such as "Dark Shadows," "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," and "Dumbo."
