Netflix’s Wednesday had a three-year break between season one, which debuted in November 2022, and season two, set for an August 6, 2025 premiere. To be fair, the world was dealing with Covid-19, and Hollywood was hit with writers and actors strikes during the gap years. Today, the streamer confirmed the series has been renewed for season three but didn’t announce a target premiere date.
Netflix’s renewal announcement also didn’t provide any casting or plot details.
“It’s been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe—one deadpan quip at a time. We’re beyond thrilled she’ll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3. This time, she’ll unearth more of the school’s sinister secrets—and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: ‘Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation,'” stated series creators, writers, and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.
The first season holds Netflix’s record for its most popular English-language series. According to the streamer, it amassed 1 billion hours viewed after just three weeks.
“The undeniable impact of Wednesday resonated immediately with fans worldwide, driving it to the top of our charts as our most popular English language TV show, and sparking cultural trends. We are so proud of Al Gough, Miles Millar, Tim Burton, Jenna Ortega, and the entire Wednesday cast and crew for everything they’ve accomplished,” said Bela Bajaria, Netflix Chief Content Officer. “On the heels of its highly anticipated season two return, we are thrilled to renew the iconic series for a third and to deliver more of what the fans love.”
Season two is divided into two parts, with part one dropping on August 6, followed by part two on September 3. Netflix offers this description of what’s in store: “Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends, and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.”
