Netflix has officially renewed Wednesday for season 3, ensuring the continuation of the Addams Family’s gothic saga. Following the intense finale of season 2, the show will bring back Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, alongside Thing and likely more family members. With Tim Burton’s signature dark aesthetic, season 3 promises even deeper mysteries, shocking revelations, and fresh challenges at Nevermore Academy.
Wednesday Season 3 Renewal Update
The announcement came in July, ahead of season 2’s second part. This early renewal was expected, considering Wednesday’s record-breaking success. The first season remains the most-watched English-language series on Netflix, surpassing hits like Bridgerton and Stranger Things.
Co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar confirmed their return, hinting at more Addams Family secrets and darker explorations of Nevermore’s hidden history.
Production Status and Possible Release Date
Currently, filming for Wednesday season 3 has not started. The creators revealed in late July that scriptwriting is progressing, but they briefly paused work during season 2’s release.
Based on the production cycle of previous seasons, Wednesday typically requires about eighteen months from filming to release. This timeline includes nine months of shooting and nine months of post-production, due to heavy visual effects. Therefore, season 3 is expected to arrive in late 2027.
Returning Cast and New Characters
Jenna Ortega will return as Wednesday Addams, with Victor Dorobantu reprising his role as Thing. The rest of the Addams family is also likely to reappear, including Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, and George Burcea as Lurch.
Fred Armisen’s Uncle Fester may return, and season 3 will reportedly expand the Addams family lineup by introducing new relatives. Showrunners confirmed that fans will “learn more family secrets,” particularly tied to Morticia and Grandmama.
Supporting characters from Nevermore Academy are expected back as well. Emma Myers is likely to reprise her role as Enid Sinclair, while Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Georgie Farmer (Ajax Petropolus), and Moosa Mostafa (Eugene Ottinger) may also return.
Meanwhile, Billie Piper as Isadora Capri and Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin are set up for bigger roles, especially with the introduction of a hyde pack storyline.
Expected Storyline and Plot Predictions
Although Netflix has kept story details secret, the season 2 ending strongly hints at where the narrative is heading.
-
Enid’s fate will likely drive the central storyline, as Wednesday fights to save her from permanent transformation.
-
Isadora Capri’s connection to Tyler will unfold, revealing her hyde origins and plans to form a powerful hyde pack.
-
Morticia’s gift of Ophelia’s journal to Wednesday will open darker family mysteries, possibly linked to the Addams crypt.

The biggest twist came in the reveal of a lost daughter hidden in Grandmama’s basement, plotting Wednesday’s death.
These threads ensure that Wednesday season 3 will delve deeper into horror and mystery, while expanding the gothic universe of the Addams Family.
With its perfect mix of teen drama, horror, and mystery, Wednesday continues to capture a massive global audience. Season 3 promises to raise the stakes, expand the Addams legacy, and answer the haunting questions left by season 2.
