Hunter Doohan has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside celebrated actresses Winona Ryder and Eva Green in the third season of Netflix’s hit series *Wednesday*. The 32-year-old actor shared his thoughts during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE while promoting his upcoming horror film, *Evil Dead Burn*.
Reflecting on what it means to star in a series that has gained immense popularity, Doohan stated that having Ryder and Green join the cast has added to the experience. “I feel so lucky,” he remarked about the presence of the two acclaimed actresses, both of whom he has admired for a long time. His enthusiasm was evident when he mentioned Green’s previous work in *Penny Dreadful*, which he named as an early inspiration in his acting career.
Doohan went on to explain that the performances in *Penny Dreadful* influenced his acting style, particularly in how to handle fantasy elements in a grounded way. “It’s incredible to have these two people, whom I look up to beyond just their roles in this show, with us,” he said, highlighting the impact they have already made behind the scenes.
Despite being tight-lipped about the specifics of the upcoming season, he did mention that the new additions to the cast have created an exciting atmosphere on set. Doohan expressed enthusiasm about Ryder’s involvement, stating his admiration with an exclamation: “I know. Even Winona!”
As *Wednesday* continues production in Dublin, Doohan took a brief break from filming to promote his new film. He acknowledged the show’s unexpected global success, stating that it has been “overwhelmingly positive” for him. The actor also shared how none of the cast anticipated the level of acclaim the series would achieve upon its release.
After recognising the show’s tremendous reception, Doohan explained, “We’re back shooting season 3 in Dublin now. I’m taking a week off right now to do press for *Evil Dead*, but yeah, we’re right in the middle of the third season and it’s so good to be back with everyone.” His words underlined the genuine surprise shared among the cast regarding the series’ impact on the global audience.
Beyond excitement for his own projects, Doohan highlighted the camaraderie among the *Wednesday* cast, with his co-stars offering their support as he embarks on the release of *Evil Dead Burn*. Jenna Ortega, who plays the titular character, is particularly enthusiastic, having been a devoted fan of the horror franchise prior to joining the cast. “She was just wishing me best of luck in Paris for the premiere,” he mentioned, illustrating the supportive dynamic between the cast members.
The atmosphere of team spirit extends throughout the entire ensemble, with Doohan noting that they frequently celebrate one another’s independent projects. “I think a few of us are going to go see *Evil Dead* in Dublin together. It’s really lovely to have a cast that’s genuinely happy for each other and for anything we do outside the show,” he shared, emphasising the close-knit relationships built during the filming of *Wednesday*.
Filming for the third season of *Wednesday* is currently taking place in Ireland, with Eva Green taking on the role of Ophelia Frump, Wednesday Addams’ aunt, and Winona Ryder portraying a mysterious character named Tabitha. As *Evil Dead Burn* hits theatres across the nation, fans have much to look forward to from Hunter Doohan and his expanding career in the entertainment industry.
With production underway and a supportive cast behind him, Doohan seems poised for continued success, both in the world of horror and in the fantastical realm of Addams Family lore.
