Burton’s Fantasy Masterpiece Is Officially a Halloween Streaming Favorite
Wednesday Awaits Its Return
Production has wrapped on Netflix’s Wednesday, whose third season is expected to bring back Jenna Ortega’s psychic teenager and the staff and students of Nevermore Academy. The Addams Family will also return, with Eva Green joining the cast as Morticia’s long-missing sister, Ophelia.
