‘Wednesday’ Season 3 Confirmed for Early 2026 Release, Set to Introduce Five New Characters Including a Secret Addams Family Relative
LONDON, UK – MGM+ announced on Wednesday that the critically acclaimed supernatural comedy series, Wednesday, has been officially renewed for a third season. According to a press release issued at 9:00 AM GMT, the new season, titled Wednesday Season 3, is slated for a global premiere in early 2026. The announcement comes after months of fan speculation following the cliffhanger ending of the second season, which saw Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Jenna Ortega, uncovering a centuries-old curse linked to the school’s founding.
Netflix, the streaming platform behind the series, confirmed that production for Wednesday Season 3 will begin in the first quarter of 2025, with filming locations set in Romania and the United Kingdom. The new season is expected to introduce five significant new characters, including a previously unknown Addams Family relative who will challenge Wednesday’s identity and moral compass. Additionally, the plot will see Wednesday enrolling in a specialized Academy of Forensic Sciences, a twist that sources describe as a “sharp departure from the Nevermore Academy setting.”
The announcement has already generated a surge in online discussions, with the keyword ‘Wednesday Season 3’ trending on X, formerly Twitter, for the second consecutive hour. Industry analysts note that this early confirmation, rare for a series still in production, indicates high confidence from the studio in the show’s continued commercial success.
