Status: Renewed. Wednesday is officially coming back for Season 3 on Netflix — the streamer greenlit the next chapter in July 2025, and filming wrapped in the fall of 2026. What Netflix has not done yet is announce a premiere date, and every sign points to a 2027 return rather than anything sooner.
If you just finished the Season 2 finale and want to know whether Jenna Ortega is pulling the braids back on, the short answer is yes. Here is where things actually stand, separating what Netflix has confirmed from what is still industry guesswork.
Is Wednesday Season 3 confirmed?
Yes. Netflix renewed Wednesday for a third season on July 23, 2025, well before Season 2 had finished airing. Season 2 was split into two batches on Netflix — Part 1 landed August 6, 2025, and Part 2 followed on September 3, 2025 — and the renewal arrived alongside early word that a spin-off was also in development.
Production is no longer a question mark either. Filming began near Dublin, Ireland in February 2026, with additional shooting in France, and wrapped in late September 2026 after roughly seven months of work. In other words, the hardest part of the pipeline is already behind the show.
When will Wednesday Season 3 come out?
This is the part Netflix has kept deliberately vague. There is no official release date, and the streamer has not even committed to a release year. A 2027 window is the widely reported expectation, but treat it as an informed projection, not a promise: it is built from the production timeline, not from anything Netflix has stated on the record. Notably, the show was absent from Netflix’s early-2026 release slate, which all but ruled out a 2026 return.
How 2027 might shake out is where reporting diverges. The Hollywood Reporter has pointed out that a fall 2027 bow looks plausible, given that Season 2 needed about eight months of post-production after filming wrapped. Other outlets have floated a summer 2027 target. Both are reasonable estimates and both could move — what no one has is a date on a calendar.
For US viewers, the good news is that there is nothing regional to untangle: Wednesday is a Netflix original, so whenever Season 3 drops, it arrives everywhere Netflix operates on the same day. No import delay, no “coming later to the US” asterisk.
Who is in the Season 3 cast?
The returning core is intact. Expect to see Jenna Ortega back as Wednesday Addams, alongside Emma Myers, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Fred Armisen, Joanna Lumley and Billie Piper.
The more interesting story is who is joining. Netflix has rolled out a long list of new faces for Season 3:
- Eva Green as Ophelia, described by Netflix as one of the most mysterious figures in the Wednesday universe — Morticia’s sister, and therefore Wednesday’s aunt.
- Winona Ryder in a guest role, reportedly named Tabitha, though the character is still under wraps.
- Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), Andrew McCarthy and James Lance as guest stars.
- Chris Sarandon, a Tim Burton touchstone as the singing voice of Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
- Noah Taylor, Oscar Morgan and Kennedy Moyer rounding out the newcomers.
Netflix’s teaser materials have hinted at new students, new teachers, and, in the streamer’s own phrasing, some long-rotting Addams family secrets getting dug up. Most of the new characters’ roles have not been detailed, so expect Netflix to parcel that out as promotion ramps up.
Here is the Season 3 cast announcement from Netflix:
Where to watch Wednesday in the meantime
All of Wednesday to date — both parts of Season 1 and Season 2 — streams on Netflix in the US. A standard Netflix subscription is all you need; there is no separate add-on or rental involved. If you are catching up before Season 3, Season 2’s two-part structure means there are 16 episodes total across the first two seasons to work through.
