5 things to know about Wednesday Season 3 as filming officially begins
- The cast is back with new blood: Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams, but the biggest news is Lady Gaga joining the crew in a 'top secret' role. Fans are already speculating she'll play a new Nevermore teacher or a rival Addams relative.
- The story moves to a new 'dark summer' setting: Unlike the fall vibes of Season 1 and the winter of Season 2, Season 3 takes place during a sweltering, stormy summer at Nevermore Academy. Expect more outdoor mysteries and swampy monsters.
- A direct response to fan backlash: After viewers complained Season 2 was too 'light' on Wednesday's signature dark humor, showrunners promise Season 3 digs deeper into gothic horror and macabre comedy, leaning into the character's iconic 'no-nonsense' attitude.
- The love triangle gets a terrifying twist: Xavier and Tyler are back, but a new character named 'Corbin' (played by a rising TikTok star) arrives. This shapeshifter forces Wednesday to question her trust in everyone, creating the most dangerous romance yet.
- First teaser drops with a creepy message: Netflix released a 15-second clip of Wednesday standing in a storm, holding a raven's feather, while a distorted voice whispers, 'The family secrets are just beginning.' Filming is now underway, aiming for a 2026 premiere.
