Wednesday will be back for season 3 on Netflix, but it won\u2019t be on your screens anytime soon. With a long wait ahead as the series has yet to begin production, a 2027 release is now the current expectation. Here\u2019s our ongoing preview of everything we know about season 3 of Wednesday so far as production has not gotten underway in Ireland.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In case you missed it, Netflix has officially confirmed that Wednesday will return for a third season on July 23rd, 2025<\/a>, along with some new artwork. That news came alongside the revelation that a spin-off series focusing on Uncle Fester remains in early discussions, having been revealed first back in 2023. Netflix\u2019s renewal came just ahead of season 2 premiering across two parts.\u00a0<\/p>\n Of course, many had predicted that season 3 was inevitable, and some early production listings suggested it was in the works much earlier than Netflix had publicly planned. Upon the renewal, showrunner Alfred Gough said, \u201cOur goal for Season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can,\u201d adding, \u201cWe want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n Miles R. Millar and Alfred Gough serve as showrunners and executive producers, joined at the executive producer level by Kayla Alpert. Matt Lambert, Diane Ruggiero, and Jenn Kao work as co-executive producers, while Danielle DiPaolo is credited as co-producer. Raphie Cantor serves as executive story editor, and Lore V. Olivera is a staff writer.<\/p>\n How well did Wednesday season 2 perform on Netflix?<\/p>\n As expected, Wednesday season 2 delivered the biggest TV premiere of 2025, pulling in 50 million views in its first week on Netflix. In total, Wednesday season 2 spent 11 consecutive weeks<\/a> in the global top 10s, picking up 881 million viewing hours.<\/p>\n On December 9th, 91 days after season 2 part 2 had released<\/a>, the show had completed its run and ranked fourth in Netflix\u2019s all-time English TV top 10 list (although Stranger Things 5 would later topple it and push it down to fifth).\u00a0<\/p>\n In that 91-day window, Wednesday season 2 picked up 928.5M hours watched, equating to 119.3M views. Season 2 was notably down quite a lot on season 1, in fact, taking the views number, it ultimately ended up 52% down.<\/p>\n Picture Credit: Netflix<\/p>\n What happened at the end of Wednesday season 2?<\/p>\n Warning: The following section contains spoilers. Proceed with caution!<\/p>\n You can find an expanded version of this rundown in our Ending Explained article<\/a>.<\/p>\n Wednesday has just survived her latest near-death experience, and even though Nevermore is in shambles, she\u2019s back on the case. Season 2\u2019s final four episodes pick up with Wednesday in a coma, but it isn\u2019t long before she\u2019s back to her usual self, with the spirit of Principal Weems returning as her reluctant guide. However, Wednesday\u2019s got a lot on her plate: Tyler\u2019s Hyde is still at large, the killer zombie is on the loose, and her best friend Enid\u2019s death is seemingly imminent. Not to mention, the new principal, Principal Dort, is not who he appears to be.<\/p>\n Principal Dort is revealed to be the mastermind behind a cult called Morning Song. He uses Nevermore as a front to get rich, manipulating siren student Bianca to con Wednesday\u2019s grandmother into giving him her entire fortune. Wednesday, Enid, and Agnes expose Dort\u2019s true nature at the Nevermore Gala. They use a dance routine to distract him while Agnes steals his pocket watch, which protects him from siren calls. Without it, Bianca compels him to confess everything. Dort tries to escape, but Ajax turns him to stone with his Medusa powers just as a chandelier falls, smashing him to pieces.<\/p>\n The season also delves into the Addams Family\u2019s history, revealing the origin of Pugsley\u2019s zombie friend, Slurp. He\u2019s actually Isaac Night, a brilliant scientist and the brother of Tyler\u2019s mother, Francoise. Isaac created a clockwork heart to live forever and needed a powerful source to cure his sister of her Hyde curse. Years ago, he tried to use Gomez Addams, but Morticia intervened, cutting off Isaac\u2019s hand, which became Thing.<\/p>\n In the present, Isaac, now with Thing reattached, kidnaps Pugsley to use his electrical powers for the procedure. But instead of curing Francoise, she forces a now-unwilling Tyler to take the cure. Wednesday, in a moment of shocking mercy, frees Tyler, and he and his mother battle it out in their Hyde forms. Francoise falls to her death, and Thing once again proves his loyalty to the Addams family by ripping out Isaac\u2019s clockwork heart.<\/p>\n What to expect from Wednesday season 3<\/p>\n Season 2 wraps up with plenty of loose ends, with season 3 of Wednesday being teed up as the show\u2019s darkest chapter. Here\u2019s a look at what we can expect:<\/p>\n A road trip with Uncle Fester: Enid is now a full-fledged Alpha werewolf, and it\u2019s unclear if she\u2019ll ever turn back into a human. Wednesday opts to go on a road trip with Uncle Fester to find her, rather than returning home for the summer. Wednesday. (L to R) Emma Myers, Jenna Ortega in episode 206 of Wednesday. Cr. Bernard Walsh\/Netflix \u00a9 2025<\/p>\n In press notes provided to outlets following the release of season 2 part 2, we got new quotes from the creators about where we\u2019re headed.<\/p>\n Showrunner Alfred Gough confirms that the show is going to take a dark turn, saying first and foremost, \u201cThe Ophelia who we get a glimpse of at the end of Episode 8 will definitely play a bigger part in Season 3,\u201d and adds, \u201cWith everything in the Addams family, the mysteries always lie within the family. That glimpse of Ophelia is what\u2019s going to lead us into the next season and potentially the darkest chapter of the Addams family.\u201d<\/p>\n Co-creator Miles Millar notes the cryptic scrawl, \u201cWednesday must die,\u201d is \u201ca big part of Season 3,\u201d and underscores the theme: \u201cThe Addams family love each other, but they also love secrets and lying to each other. It\u2019s that juxtaposition of love and lies.\u201d<\/p>\n Wednesday will not face it alone. Fred Armisen said to Netflix PR, \u201cFester and Wednesday end the season embarking on a hunt for Enid, who is an Alpha stuck in her werewolf form,\u201d and promises, \u201cMore adventures and then a strengthening of that bond. They\u2019re buddies for life.\u201d Meanwhile, Gough hints that Tyler is not out of the picture: \u201cHe will definitely be showing up again.\u201d<\/p>\n Other threads teased at the end of Season 2 also point forward. Gough explains Morticia\u2019s final act: \u201cAt the end of the season, Morticia learns that she has to trust Wednesday. That\u2019s why you have the scene where she gives Ophelia\u2019s journal to Wednesday, because both Ophelia and Wednesday are Ravens. Maybe some of the answers to getting her ability back lie in that journal.\u201d Millar also assures fans that Gwendoline Christie\u2019s Weems will return despite leaving on sabbatical: \u201cWe\u2019ll definitely see more of Weems. Gwen is a key part of the show, and the character of Weems is still embedded in Nevermore and Wednesday herself. We\u2019re not sure quite how it\u2019s going to happen or when it will happen exactly, but we definitely want to bring Gwen back.\u201d<\/p>\n New and Returning Cast Members for Wednesday Season 3<\/p>\n Picture: Eva Green (left) at the Chopard \u201cOnce Upon a Time\u201d party at the Eden Roc, during the 77th Cannes Film Festival, May 21, 2024 \u2013 Creator Olivier Borde \/ BESTIMAGE<\/p>\n The first major new cast member for Wednesday season 3 was announced on November 25th, with Eva Green confirmed for the role of Aunt Ophelia<\/a>. In a statement upon the news, Green said, \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of \u2018Wednesday\u2019 as Aunt Ophelia. This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world, I can\u2019t wait to bring my own touch of cuckooness to the Addams family.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Netflix has confirmed the official list of returning cast members:<\/p>\n Jenna Ortega (Wednesday Addams) Where is Wednesday Season 3 in Production?<\/p>\n Development<\/p>\n Filming Scheduled<\/p>\n Filming Ongoing<\/p>\n Post-Production<\/p>\n As of February 16th, 2026, filming is underway on the Wednesday season 3 with a number of crew members posting stories confirming the news (via wensadms on X<\/a>):\u00a0<\/p>\n When production listings began to emerge for\u00a0Wednesday season 3 in early 2025, it suggested filming was initially scheduled to start in Fall 2025, but that was eventually\u00a0pushed back.<\/p>\n The February 2026 start date first came from OpenBrolly<\/a>, which confirmed prep for the new season began in late July, and\u00a0filming is scheduled\u00a0to start on February 16th, 2026. Their production end date is dated for May 22nd, 2026, but it\u2019s believed the series will actually be in production for around 7-9 months (according to various casting calls seen by What\u2019s on Netflix), which would mean a wrap sometime around November 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n As we\u2019ve previously spoken about<\/a>, the code name for season 3 is reportedly NIGHTSHADE & RAVEN, which has a few connections to the show. Nightshade Society is the secret student organization at Nevermore Academy, and Raven has many symbiotic connections. There\u2019s also a school event called the Rave\u2019N Dance.<\/p>\n In addition, OpenBrolly\u00a0reports that season 3 is operating under the working title\u00a0Briarcliff, a reference to Briarcliff Manor, NY, the home base of\u00a0the Tee & Charles Addams Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n Various casting calls from Celtic Casting were issued in early 2026, looking for a myriad of extras and doubles for the upcoming season. Among the posts were calls<\/a> for \u201cdiverse young adults to play high school students,\u201d and seeking a woman<\/a> of African descent with a \u201cshaved head\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new season will follow in the footsteps of season 2, which relocated from Romania to Ireland. Expect many of the filming locations used for season 2<\/a> (and beyond) to be featured.<\/p>\n When will Wednesday Season 3 be streaming on Netflix?<\/p>\n With production taking up most of 2026, that certainly rules out a late 2026 return. As a reminder, Season 1 took around 6 months of production, whereas Season 2 took closer to nine and a half months in total. Netflix did confirm that the series was not amongst the 2026 slate as part of Next on Netflix (What Next?)<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2027 seems most likely, and our sources indicate that Netflix is still considering a Summer 2027 return for the series, with early June currently cited. Of course, we don\u2019t know whether they\u2019ll split season 3 up again, but the fan reaction to this decision has been mixed at best. All of this is subject to change, as plans often do.\u00a0<\/p>\n What do you think will happen in season 3? Will Wednesday find Enid, and will she be able to turn back into a human?

\nA new enemy: Wednesday is concerned that her moment of mercy\u2014when she chose to free Tyler instead of killing him\u2014will come back to haunt her. Tyler is still out there, possibly waiting to seek revenge.
\nThe return of Ophelia: After Morticia gives Wednesday her great-grandmother\u2019s book to help her with her psychic abilities, Wednesday has a vision of her estranged Aunt Ophelia. It seems Ophelia is locked up somewhere and is determined to see Wednesday die. The words \u201cWednesday must die\u201d are scratched on a wall in Ophelia\u2019s vision, suggesting a new and powerful foe.
\nThe search for a new principal: Nevermore has a new opening for a principal, an unfortunate position that has now claimed two people.<\/p>\n![\"Wednesday](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/wednesday-season-2-ends-netflix-top-10-run.jpg\"\/)
