“Wednesday” is going global.
Netflix released a first look image from Season 3 of the Jenna Ortega-led series on Monday. In a photo posted on social media, Wednesday is shown standing next to a motorcycle under the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Thing (Victor Dorobantu), the sentient but disembodied hand who serves as a key member of the Addams family, sits atop the motorcycle, and Wednesday holds a piece of paper in her hands and looks off into the distance with her signature deadpan glare. “From Paris, with dread,” reads the photo caption.
Season 2 of “Wednesday” ended with Wednesday and Thing riding off in the sidecar of her uncle Fester’s (Fred Armisen) motorcycle to search for her friend and roommate Enid (Emma Myers), a werewolf who became stuck in her wolf form and ran into the wilderness. Netflix has yet to release plot details of Season 3, but it seems possible that the hunt for Enid is the reason Wednesday ends up in France.
Production on “Wednesday” Season 3 began in February. New cast members include Eva Green as Aunt Ophelia, plus Winona Ryder, Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy, James Lance, Chris Sarandon, Noah Taylor, Oscar Morgan and Kennedy Moyer in undisclosed roles. Along with Ortega, Myers, Armisen and Dorobantu, the series stars Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Isaac Ordonez, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Joanna Lumley.
