Wednesday Season 3 Confirmed as Netflix Orders Third Installment with New Cast Additions
LOS ANGELES, CA — Netflix has officially announced the renewal of its hit supernatural series, ‘Wednesday,’ for a highly anticipated third season. The streaming giant confirmed the order in a press release issued Wednesday morning, citing the show’s sustained global viewership and critical acclaim since its debut in 2022.
According to the announcement, production for Season 3 is slated to begin in early 2026 in Romania, with creator and showrunner Alfred Gough and Miles Millar returning to helm the project. The new season will introduce several new characters, including a mysterious new student at Nevermore Academy, played by recently cast actor Kit Armstrong, alongside recurring guest stars Thandiwe Newton and Dev Patel.
The narrative will pick up where Season 2 left off, following Wednesday Addams’ ongoing investigation into a supernatural conspiracy threatening the school and its outcasts. Jenna Ortega will reprise her titular role, with Emma Myers, Percy Hynes White, and Joy Sunday also confirmed to return.
Netflix reports that Season 3 will expand the show’s universe, introducing a new locale outside of Vermont, as suggested by the finale’s cliffhanger. The announcement follows a record-breaking 12 Emmy nominations for the series in 2024, including Outstanding Drama Series.
The exact premiere date for ‘Wednesday’ Season 3 has not been disclosed, but industry analysts project a late 2026 release window.
