Netflix has officially confirmed the renewal of Wednesday for a third season, just ahead of the highly anticipated second season's release. The announcement, which came on July 23, 2025, further cements the show's place as one of the streaming platform's biggest successes. The series, which has quickly become a fan favorite, garnered widespread praise for its blend of quirky humor, gothic atmosphere, and supernatural intrigue.
The series follows the iconic Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Jenna Ortega, as she navigates the dark, mysterious world of Nevermore Academy. Set against a backdrop of eerie happenings and family secrets, Wednesday has captivated viewers with its combination of offbeat charm and thrilling storytelling. From the beginning, it was clear that Ortega’s performance as the iconic goth character was a standout, and Tim Burton’s unique vision brought an added layer of magic to the show. Season 1 not only delivered a compelling narrative but also became Netflix’s most-watched English-language series ever, solidifying its appeal with both fans and critics alike.
Looking forward, fans of Wednesday can expect an even darker and more thrilling season 2, which will be split into two parts. The first installment is set to premiere on August 6, followed by the second part on September 3, 2025. While plot specifics have been kept under wraps, creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have teased that season 2 will delve deeper into the Addams family’s dark past and uncover even more secrets of Nevermore Academy. With Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday continuing to captivate audiences, the second season promises to build on the momentum established by its predecessor.
Alongside the announcement of season 3, the possibility of expanding the Wednesday universe is also being explored. Discussions for a potential spinoff series focusing on other characters from the Addams family are currently underway. Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, recently hinted at the idea of a spinoff, citing the richness of the Addams family’s lore and the opportunities for further storytelling. With so many iconic characters in the Addams universe, the potential for spinoffs could lead to more deep dives into this dark and enchanting world.
The decision to renew Wednesday for a third season just weeks before the second season premieres reflects Netflix’s confidence in the show’s continued success. The series’ unique combination of supernatural intrigue, family drama, and dark humor has resonated with audiences worldwide. As the Addams family’s gothic world continues to unfold, fans can expect more twists, turns, and chilling revelations in season 3. Whether it’s Wednesday’s evolving relationships, the sinister secrets of Nevermore, or new adversaries that threaten her at every turn, there is much to look forward to.
For now, fans can eagerly await the return of Wednesday in just a few weeks, but the excitement doesn’t end with season 2. With the potential for further exploration of the Addams universe and the promise of a third season, it seems that Netflix has only just begun to scratch the surface of this creepy, kooky, and captivating world.
