Production on Netflix's Wednesday has been halted after Eva Green suffered a 'really nasty' injury during filming of the third season. The 45-year-old former Bond girl was rushed to hospital while shooting in Dublin.
Injury and hospitalisation
A source told The Sun: 'This was really nasty. Eva sustained an injury and was clearly in pain and producers were taking no chances. Medics were called and Eva went to hospital. She underwent treatment and is now recovering well.'
Green is set to make her debut in the Addams Family spin-off as Aunt Ophelia Frump, sister to Catherine Zeta-Jones' Morticia Addams. She is billed as a series regular and her character is thought to be a major player in the upcoming season.
Impact on production
Shoots have been rearranged to allow Green to recover. The actress, known for Casino Royale and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, shared upon casting: 'I can't wait to bring my own touch of cuckoo-ness to the Addams Family. This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world.'
Wednesday, played by Jenna Ortega, first discovered Ophelia through her journal, which caused uncontrollable psychic visions. At the end of season two, Morticia's sister was seen from behind scrawling 'Wednesday must die' on a wall.
Netflix's big-budget series
Wednesday has proven a winning series for Netflix, with another insider telling The Sun 'no expense has been spared'. The budget is said to be $15million (£11million) per episode, with big names joining the cast.
The second season racked up 50million views and topped the global chart in just the first few days, dropping four episodes at once. Netflix is aiming for mid to late 2027 for the third season, although no official release date has been announced.
Metro has reached out to Netflix and Eva's reps for comment.
