Catherine Zeta-Jones Pitches Danny DeVito as Cousin Itt for Wednesday Season 3

The suggestion underscores the show's star-driven casting buzz ahead of a planned return to set next year.

Overview

  • Catherine Zeta-Jones floated Danny DeVito for Cousin Itt during a Netflix FYC event at the Tudum Theater in Hollywood, calling the idea "so cool."
  • Her remarks were a public wish, not a casting announcement, and she joked DeVito would tease her for proposing a role that covers his face in hair.
  • Wednesday has been renewed for a third season, with cast and crew expected to reunite to film next year as scripts have not yet been shared with Zeta-Jones.
  • Zeta-Jones said she kept Lady Gaga’s Season 2 cameo "top secret," highlighting the production’s tactic of surprise guest appearances.
  • Observers note DeVito’s long ties to executive producer Tim Burton and his friendship with Michael Douglas, though no talks or deals for Cousin Itt have been reported.
