Netflix Announces Major Wednesday Update – And 1 Exciting Hint About It's Future

If you were one of the millions of fans who helped make Wednesday the most-watched English-language Netflix show of all time, there's some very good news about the future of the series. With season two of the award-winning reimagining of The Addams Family starring Jenna Ortega coming this August, there's now even more cause for celebration as Netflix has renewed for a third season. The streamer confirmed the news on its social media this week, sharing a post of Wednesday holding a spooky crystal ball with the number three on it, along with the tagline 'bad things come in threes'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wednesday Netflix (@wednesdaynetflix) The caption added: 'Season 2 awakens in two weeks. Season 3 is the next omen, already in motion, already inevitable.' And not only has Wednesday been confirmed for season three, but it looks like a spinoff series is in the early stages of discussions. As revealed in a new joint interview with star Jenna and director and executive producer Tim Burton in The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Alfred Gough said a secretive spinoff is 'something we're definitely noodling; there are other characters we can look at'. She would never leave you hanging. Wednesday has been officially renewed for Season 3. Season 2 awakens in two weeks. — Netflix (@netflix) July 23, 2025 Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria also hinted that 'there's a lot to explore in the Addams Family'. While further details about the future of Wednesday remain under wraps for now, showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar added in a statement (via Deadline): 'It's been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe – one deadpan quip at a time. We're beyond thrilled she'll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3. 'This time, she'll unearth more of the school's sinister secrets – and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: 'Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation'.' In a statement to Netflix's Tudum, Alfred did give one hint that we will be 'seeing more Addams Family members and learning more family secrets in Season 3'. The news comes after fans learned last year that Lady Gaga was reported to be in a guest role for season two. Other new additions to the season two cast include Billie Piper, Thandiwe Newton, Joanna Lumley and Steve Buscemi. Part one of season two is set to drop on 6 August, with part two arriving on 3 September. Related... Will There Be An Untamed Season 2?

How millennials ruined summer camp

is a senior correspondent for Vox, where she covers American family life, work, and education. Previously, she was an editor and writer at the New York Times. She is also the author of four novels, including the forthcoming Bog Queen, which you can preorder here This story originally appeared in Kids Today, Vox's newsletter about kids, for everyone. Sign up here for future editions. Summer camp is supposed to be fun. It's a place for swimming, crafts, new friendships, and learning repetitive songs that will annoy your family members well into September. What's not to like? A lot, apparently. One big reason parents are letting their children 'rot' at home this summer, according to the New York Times, is that kids complain so much about going to camp. Of course, kids have always whined about doing stuff, even stuff they basically like. But one reader, Juliana, wrote to me recently that while she enjoyed day camp as a child, 'my kid tells us every day he doesn't want to go back.' Is it possible that camp is just worse now? It's definitely different. Experts and parents alike report a shift towards ever more specialized camps — focused on everything from coding to urban farming — and toward shorter, 1- or 2-week sessions rather than camps that run the full summer. While these changes can give families more flexibility and kids a chance to pursue their interests, they can also make it more challenging to form friendships and turn camp into an extension of the high-pressure environment many kids already face during the school year. I can't say definitively whether camp is less fun than it used to be, but I did come away from my reporting with a better understanding of what kids get out of camp, what adults want them to get, and why the two don't always match up. The history of camp Summer camp in America started in the 19th century as a response to anxieties about urbanization and its effects on boys and young men. One early camp founder, Ernest Balch, complained about 'the miserable condition of boys from well-to-do families in the summer hotels,' starting his camp so that boys would have to learn to fend for themselves in nature. Early camps emphasized the character-building powers of the wilderness. As one brochure put it, 'A camp in the woods bordering on a beautiful lake, breathing the healthful, bracing air of the pines, viewing Nature in her ever-changing moods, living a free, outdoor life, and having at all times the sympathetic companionship of young men of refinement, experience, and character — is this not the ideal summer outing for a boy?' Related How summer camp became an American obsession Soon, settlement houses began sponsoring camps for urban youth from poor families, and by the 1920s, camp was becoming more common across social classes, said Michael Smith, a history professor at Ithaca College who has studied summer camps. While early camps had been sleepaway camps, more day camps sprang up in the 1960s and '70s as more mothers joined the workforce and families needed summer child care. These camps were often generalized in their programming, offering activities like crafts and swimming. But in the late 20th century, camps started to become more specialized, focusing on single topics like sports, computers, or space rather than lanyards and nature walks. The shift may have been driven by families who wanted their kids to practice a specific skill at camp, rather than simply getting a taste of the outdoors, Smith said. Some camps also saw a demand for a more academic environment as anxiety around college admissions ramped up. Hollie Kissler, the director of a Portland, Oregon, day camp told Bloomberg that around 2001, parents started asking for worksheets and reading logs at camp. Campers then would have been millennials, the generation sending their kids to camp (and influencing camp offerings) today. Meanwhile, with families juggling more complicated summer schedules, more parents wanted the option of shorter camps for their kids. 'Even camps that used to have a nine-week schedule increasingly considered moving to a two-session schedule,' Leslie Paris, author of the book Children's Nature: The Rise of the American Summer Camp, told Vox earlier this summer. Today, the most common session length is one week, Henry DeHart, interim president and CEO of the American Camp Association, told me. The downsides of the modern camp experience Some fear that the trend toward shorter sessions could make it harder for campers to form friendships. Juliana, the reader who wrote to me, wondered if 1-week blocks might be less 'conducive to building community or finding your place at camp, since the cohort changes every week.' When it comes to positive developmental outcomes for kids, like building social skills and perseverance, research by the American Camp Association has shown that session length doesn't matter, DeHart said. Still, 'there's no doubt, if you have more time with folks, you can develop deeper relationships.' The trend toward specialization also has pros and cons, experts and families say. Niche camps allow kids to delve into their interests. 'My daughter loves ceramics and is very excited about her one week ceramics camp,' Melinda Wenner Moyer, a journalist and author who has written about camp, told me in an email. There are also dedicated camps for neurodivergent kids and children with disabilities, who aren't always well-served by traditional camps. Some groups even offer camps for kids who have been through particular traumatic experiences, like being burned or losing a family member, DeHart said. But when special camps are too academic or parent-driven, they can be detrimental, some say. 'I worry a little about kids who are enrolled in specialized camps because their parents want them to develop or master a particular skill,' Wenner Moyer said. 'Kids today say they often feel pressured by their parents to excel and achieve, which is not healthy for their self-esteem.' Was camp ever fun? Going to camp to bolster your future college application might be less fun than, say, splashing around in a lake. If camps have become more pre-professional than they used to be, maybe it's no surprise that kids are dragging their feet about attending. On the other hand, maybe fun has never been central to the premise of camp. Whether it's shoring up 19th-century boys' supposedly flagging masculinity or preparing kids for the rat race of late capitalism, camp has always been more about adult anxieties than about what kids actually want to do. Even the most traditional wilderness-based camps, Smith points out, were often a huge culture shock for city kids. Possibly the most famous song about camp, the 1963 classic 'Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh,' is about a camp rife with poison ivy, foodborne illness, and malaria. In fact, it's possible that fun has always been a byproduct of camp, something kids wrest from whatever structure adults try to impose upon them. The day camp I attended throughout my childhood focused on more traditional camp activities when I was a little kid (swimming, stick-gathering, arguing). But when I was around 10, it became more specialized — whether that was due to changing times or simply different programming for different age groups, I'm not sure. I ended up in 'video camp,' during which we used camcorders to make our own short films. I'm pretty sure we were supposed to produce G-rated content, but every single movie the campers made was about murder, including our group's masterpiece, the vaguely Terminator-inspired slasher flick Death Four Times Over. The following session, we were informed that no more onscreen violence would be allowed, and each film would have to have a morally uplifting message. But the damage was done. It was the most fun I ever had. What I'm reading Families of children with complex medical needs, many of whom have specialized care covered by Medicaid, fear losing their coverage now that Trump's Big Beautiful Bill has become law. Multiple children who entered the US as unaccompanied minors under humanitarian parole in the past year have received letters from the Department of Homeland Security telling them to leave the country immediately. 'Do not attempt to unlawfully remain in the United States,' one letter read. 'The Federal Government will find you.' Earlier this month, the Trump administration froze almost $7 billion in education funding, some of it going to afterschool and summer programs for low-income youth. After lawsuits and public outcry, however, the administration said it would reinstate afterschool funding. My older kid and I have been revisiting one of my childhood favorites: Calvin & Hobbes. The strip turns out to be rife with 1980s references that take some time to explain to a 7-year-old ('When I was a kid, grownups were really worried about violence on TV,' I caught myself saying). The core relationship between a child and his stuffed/obviously real tiger friend, however, needs no explanation.
