Look who's coming to Nevermore Academy! Fans of Netflix's 'Wednesday' are in for a treat.

Winona Ryder is back on the scene, set to guest star in the upcoming third season. Her return marks a nostalgic reunion with legendary director Tim Burton and actress Jenna Ortega. Ryder's role remains a mystery, cloaked in secrecy for now, but her presence alone has everyone buzzing.

Tim Burton, the visionary behind the series, expressed his delight.

'I am so happy that Winona has joined us, she fits right into this world,' he said. 'And she's a dear friend. I always feel lucky to work with her.' That warmth translates into excitement for viewers eager to see her back in the fold.

A goth family needs the GOAT

Ryder's casting sparks memories of her iconic role in 'Beetlejuice.' She starred alongside Jenna Ortega in the 1988 film. Ortega's character, Wednesday Addams, was also her daughter in that movie. Now, years later, the two will share the screen again in a different context, alongside Burton's darkly charming universe.

This isn't Ryder's first stint on Netflix.

She recently starred in the fifth and final season of 'Stranger Things,' her return to the streaming giant after years away. Her career spans decades, with standout performances in films like 'Edward Scissorhands' and 'Little Women.' She has earned two Oscar nominations, for 'The Age of Innocence' and 'Little Women,' and remains a beloved figure in Hollywood.

'Wednesday' has become a cultural phenomenon. Its second season debuted last year, quickly climbing the charts.

It became Netflix's fifth most-watched English-language series of all time. Season one still holds the top spot, a testament to its massive global appeal. Fans adore Jenna Ortega's portrayal of the enigmatic Addams family daughter, blending humour, mystery, and gothic charm.
