How do you make charming feel like a threat? Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday is coming back for Season 3, and we’ve collected everything we know so far: release updates, cast news, and the biggest plot clues Netflix has revealed.
Wednesday Addams doesn’t do happy endings – she does unfinished business. After Season 2 doubled down on the show’s nastier horror streak and left the Addams family with a brand-new problem locked in a basement, it was only a matter of time before Netflix pulled the lever again.
And yes, it’s official: Wednesday has been renewed for Season 3. Here’s everything we know so far about the next chapter, including the current release situation, confirmed casting, the big Season 2 cliffhanger that sets the board for what comes next, and the (very) early production chatter.
Wednesday Season 3 Release Date: When Is It Coming Out?
There is no official release date yet. Tudum’s Season 3 announcement keeps it intentionally vague, and Netflix hasn’t put a day (or even a year) on the calendar so far.
That said, there are credible production reports floating around. Multiple industry-tracking updates suggest Season 3 is aiming to start filming in early 2026 (with some listings pointing at mid-February). If that’s accurate, a realistic release window would more likely land in 2027 rather than 2026 – especially for a VFX-heavy show like this.
Bottom line: Season 3 is happening, but Netflix is still playing dead when it comes to a premiere date.
Wednesday Season 3 Cast: Who’s Confirmed?
Right now, Netflix has only confirmed a small piece of Season 3 casting in official announcements – but it’s a huge one.
Confirmed for Season 3:
- Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams
- Eva Green as Aunt Ophelia (Morticia’s missing sister)
Tudum describes Ophelia as an enigmatic, long-missing Addams relative – and if you’ve seen the Season 2 ending, you already know she’s not being introduced for polite family dinners.
Expected to return (not officially confirmed for Season 3 by Netflix at the time of writing, but come on):
- Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán)
- Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers)
- Tyler Galpin (Hunter Doohan)
- Pugsley Addams (Isaac Ordonez)
Netflix hasn’t dropped a full Season 3 cast list yet, so consider the “expected” names exactly that: expected – not confirmed. Just to be safe.
Wednesday Season 3 Plot: What’s The Story Going To Be About?
Spoiler warning for Wednesday Season 2’s ending.
Season 3’s core setup is already sitting in the final moments of Season 2: Wednesday reads Aunt Ophelia’s journal, gets yanked into a vision, and sees Ophelia alive – locked away in Grandmama’s basement – writing “Wednesday must die” on the wall.
That single reveal does a lot of work. It suggests Ophelia is the next major threat (or at least the next major mystery), Grandmama Hester Frump’s role in the family is far more complicated than “eccentric elder” and Wednesday’s Raven powers – and her connection to Ophelia – are going to matter more than ever.
Beyond Ophelia, the Season 2 finale also positions several Season 3 threads, like Enid going full alpha werewolf and disappearing into the wild north, Tyler heading into an unexpected alliance with a Nevermore teacher, the whole thing with Nevermore needin a new principal (the creators have teased the choice will be a surprise) and all the Addams family secrets to come.
If Season 2 was the show sharpening its knives, Season 3 sounds like the part where it tests them on its own family tree.
Is There A Wednesday Spin-Off Coming?
Nothing is officially greenlit on Netflix’s side but multiple reports around the Season 3 renewal noted that Netflix and the creatives have discussed the idea of expanding the universe with a spin-off. If that actually happens, it likely won’t replace Wednesday; it would sit beside it.
When Will We Get A Trailer For Wednesday Season 3?
Not yet. With Netflix still quiet on dates and production only just approaching the “cameras soon” stage (per reports), a teaser is likely a long way off. The first real signal will probably be a filming announcement, set photos, or a casting wave from Netflix/Tudum.
As soon as Netflix drops anything concrete – a release window, a first look, or a bigger cast reveal – we’ll have a much clearer picture of what Wednesday is planning in the dark. We'll make sure to keep you updated!
