Will there be a Wednesday season 3? What we know about the future of Jenna Ortega's Netflix show
Will there be a Wednesday season 3?: With all the excitement still swirling around Wednesday season 2, fans are already turning their attention to what's next for their favourite gothic icon. The anticipation has only grown since Netflix confirmed that the supernatural hit will return for a third season. The next installment is expected to explore even more of Nevermore Academy's dark and mysterious world. Following the suspenseful twists and chilling revelations of the first two seasons, viewers are curious to see what fresh terrors, secrets, and character developments lie ahead. With a clear move toward more horror and less romance, and Jenna Ortega taking on a larger creative role, season 3 is shaping up to be the show's most intense chapter yet. Will there be a Wednesday season 3? Yes, Netflix has officially confirmed that Wednesday will return for a third season. The announcement was made on July 23, 2025, just days before the premiere of Season 2, with Part 1 already up on August 6 and Part 2 set for release on September 3. Creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar expressed their excitement to further expand the story at Nevermore Academy, teasing more in-depth character arcs and the reveal of new secrets surrounding the Addams family. What to expect from Wednesday season 3? Season 3 of Wednesday is gearing up to be bigger, darker, and even more thrilling. 'Our mission remains the same, to make each season the best it can be,' says co-creator Alfred Gough. 'We're excited to dive deeper into the characters and further expand the eerie world of Nevermore and Wednesday.' Co-creator Miles Millar adds, 'Fans can look forward to meeting more members of the Addams Family and uncovering long-buried family secrets in the next season.' When it comes to plot details or a release date, the creators are keeping everything under tight wraps. 'I could tell you,' Millar teases, 'but then I'd have to bury you in a shallow grave.' While Season 3 is still on the horizon, fans won't have to wait too long to return to the gothic corridors of Nevermore Academy. What's new in Wednesday season 2? Season 2 of Wednesday embraces a darker, more horror-focused tone, moving away from romance, an intentional shift influenced by Jenna Ortega, who also serves as producer. The season introduces a new villain, The Avian, who uses birds to commit chilling murders, placing Wednesday at the heart of another mystery. Characters like Wednesday and Enid experience major growth, while returning faces such as Bianca, Tyler, and Morticia get expanded storylines. New characters also add fresh intrigue to the ever-mysterious Nevermore Academy.

Wednesday Season 2: Catherine Zeta-Jones Hails 'Amazing' Co-Star Jenna Ortega
Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly. Wednesday Season 2: Catherine Zeta-Jones thinks Jenna Ortega is 'amazing". The 55-year-old actress stars alongside Jenna, 22, in the new season of Wednesday, and Catherine has praised her co-star's professional approach to their sword fight scene. She told People: 'We did rehearse it. It's like choreography and stunts. You know, we have to be careful. These are real weapons we're working with." Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly for the scene. The actress, who plays Morticia Addams on the hit Netflix show, said: 'She'd find time in her schedule, which is a much bigger schedule than mine, to come and rehearse with me, and then we worked it with the stunt coordinator, and it turned out really fabulous." Catherine has also praised Luis Guzman, who plays Gomez Addams, for his pre-shoot preparations. The duo teamed up to perform a tango, and Catherine revealed that Luis 'just really worked hard". She shared: 'We used to rehearse the four scenes outside, dodging the rain, sometimes in Ireland, in gravel to keep it every day, to keep it fresh. Because, of course, we learned it at the beginning of the show. We weren't shooting it for weeks, three months later. So to keep it fresh and to remember our moves every now and again, we just jump together and we do it. And we laughed." Meanwhile, Jenna previously revealed that she became an 'unhappy person" after season one of Wednesday. The actress plays Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show, but Jenna initially struggled to cope with the pressures of fame and success. She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: 'To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. After the pressure, the attention, as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary." Jenna now serves as a producer on Wednesday, and she's loving the experience of having a hands-on role with the show. Jenna – who has become one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood in recent years – said: 'I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I'm still finding my footing in that area."
