The official announcement made by Netflix on February 23, 2026, confirms her guest-starring role in several episodes of season 3 of &quot;Wednesday,&quot; marking another collaboration with Tim Burton and a reunion with Jenna Ortega, her co-star from &quot;Beetlejuice.&quot;<\/p>\n<h2> A regular in the Burton universe<\/h2>\n<p> Winona Ryder is no stranger to the fantastical and macabre world of American director Tim Burton. Their collaboration dates back to 1988&#39;s &quot;Beetlejuice,&quot; where she played the rebellious Lydia Deetz, a role she reprised in the 2024 sequel. They also worked together on &quot;Edward Scissorhands&quot; (1990) and &quot;Frankenweenie&quot; (2012).<\/p>\n<p>Tim Burton himself said he was &quot;delighted&quot; by the reunion: <em>&quot;She fits perfectly into this universe. She&#39;s a very dear friend.&quot;<\/em> Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar also praised the <em>&quot;undisputed queen of outsider characters,&quot;<\/em> highlighting her invaluable contribution to Nevermore.<\/p>\n<h2> Tabitha: A New Mystery in Nevermore<\/h2>\n<p> Winona Ryder will play Tabitha, a new character who doesn&#39;t belong to the original &quot;Addams Family&quot; comics or previous seasons. Her exact role remains a mystery, but she joins a host of new cast members: Eva Green (Ophelia, Morticia&#39;s sister), Chris Sarandon (Balthazar), Noah Taylor (Cyrus), Kennedy Moyer (Daisy), and Oscar Morgan (Atticus).<\/p>\n<p>Filming has begun in Dublin, promising &quot;new students, new teachers, and Addams Family secrets in a state of decay.&quot; This third season, expected in 2027, follows the second season, which aired in August 2025 and featured Lady Gaga and Christopher Lloyd. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVGg6XiD2H-\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\"> View this post on Instagram <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"> <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DVGg6XiD2H-\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Netflix Philippines (@netflixph)<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2> A bridge between two worlds<\/h2>\n<p> The timing is perfect: a few months after the conclusion of &quot;Stranger Things,&quot; Winona Ryder goes from an &#39;80s horror series to a Victorian gothic teen show.
