Wednesday Season 3 Confirmed to Begin Production, Stranger Things Creative Team Joins Netflix Series
LOS ANGELES, United States — January 15, 2025 — In a major development for the streaming industry, Netflix has officially confirmed that production on the highly anticipated Wednesday Season 3 will commence in March 2025, with a reported addition of key creative personnel from the hit series Stranger Things.
According to an official press release issued by Netflix Studios at 10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time today, the third season of the supernatural mystery drama will see executive producers Matt and Ross Duffer, alongside director Shawn Levy, joining the Wednesday creative team for two episodes. The series, starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, has been a global phenomenon since its debut in November 2022.
The confirmation emerged following weeks of industry speculation and a social media campaign by fans. Sources close to the production indicate that Wednesday Season 3 will introduce new characters from the Addams Family lore, specifically Lurch and Grandmama. Furthermore, shooting is set to occur primarily in Romania, utilizing the same gothic landscapes featured in the first two seasons.
Netflix executives declined to comment on potential story arcs, but leaked casting documents suggest a crossover with elements from the Stranger Things universe remains a remote possibility, pending final script approvals. The streaming platform has not yet announced a release date, though industry insiders project a late 2026 debut.
The confirmation has generated immediate international attention, with social media platforms trending the hashtag #WednesdaySeason3 within hours. Analysts predict the season will rank among Netflix’s top global releases, building on the series’ record-breaking 1.2 billion viewing hours for Season 2.
