Eva Green Injured on Set of Netflix's 'Wednesday,' Rushed to Hospital for Treatment

Filming for the third season of Netflix 's hit series Wednesday came to a sudden standstill outside Dublin, Ireland, after newly cast actress Eva Green suffered a severe leg injury on set.

The 45-year-old French star, best known for her roles in Casino Royale and Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children , was rushed to a local hospital for immediate treatment, according to Hello! The accident forced producers to pause the production to rearrange the shooting schedule.

"This was really nasty," a production source told The Sun . "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."

While Green is reportedly on the mend, the filming of the hit series faces immediate complications. The star joined the production in November to play Aunt Ophelia, the sister of Morticia Addams. Her official casting ended months of fan speculation that Lady Gaga 's brief cameo as Rosalyn Rottwood would eventually lead to Gaga playing the Ophelia character.

Before the injury occurred, Green expressed excitement about entering the franchise.

"I'm thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of Wednesday as Aunt Ophelia," Green said at the time of her casting announcement. "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."

Series creators, showrunners, and writers Al Goughand Miles Millarspecifically sought out Green for her ability to handle dark, theatrical roles.

"Eva Green has always brought an exhilarating, singular presence to the screen - elegant, haunting, and beautifully unpredictable," Gough and Millar said in a joint statement. "Those qualities make her the perfect choice for Aunt Ophelia. We're excited to see how she transforms the role and expands Wednesday's world."

The production features an ensemble cast including Jenna Ortega , Catherine Zeta-Jones , Luis Guzmán , and Isaac Ordonez. Because the first season set the record as the most-watched English-language series in Netflix history, the studio has kept the current production wrapped in immense secrecy.

"Wednesday is a huge priority for Netflix," an insider explained. "But since it became such a streaming success, the producers have gone to extraordinary lengths to keep the production secret. The budget for the show is enormous. No expense has been spared in securing huge name actors."

Representatives for Netflix confirm that while the schedule required immediate changes to accommodate Green's recovery time, filming has since been managed to minimize long-term delays.
