Aunt Ophelia: What’s her story

This new season is expected to delve deep into the past associated with the Addams Family and the tragedies surrounding Ophelia, who is a raven, just like Wednesday, and possesses some psychic powers, which she utilises more than any other member of the Addams family. This had some severe consequences for which Ophelia's mother, Hester Frump, played by Joanna Lumley, had to put her in a Psychiatric Hospital, which was very ominous, and Ophelia somehow managed to escape from there and never returned.  It will be exciting to see all the twists and turns she will bring to the new season. It has made the fans curious and excited at the same time.

As The Hollywood Reporter reported, co-creators and co-showrunners, Al Gough and Miles Millar, said about Eva Green joining as Aunt Ophelia 

"Eva Green has always brought an exhilarating, singular presence to the screen — elegant, haunting and beautifully unpredictable. Those qualities make her the perfect choice for Aunt Ophelia".

And further added that 

 "We're excited to see how she transforms the role and expands Wednesday's world."

Eva Green expressed her excitement to join the team on Wednesday.

She said, "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."
