Wednesday Season 3 Given the Green Light and Spinoff Possible

Netflix has given the green light to Wednesday Season 3 ahead of the second season’s premiere on August 6, 2025. A spinoff series is also possible, according to an interview with Tim Burton and Jenna Ortega at The Hollywood Reporter.

“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,” said creators, writers, and show runners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.

They added, “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.'”

Bela Bajaria, Netflix Chief Content Officer, said, “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. 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 2, which will debut in two parts on August 6 and September 3, will explore darker, more complex stories while also retaining the show’s signature macabre humor.

Season 3 promises to go even further. “Our goal for Season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can,” said Gough. “We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.” Millar added, “We will be seeing more Addams Family members and learning more family secrets in Season 3!”

The Wednesday team is also exploring a spinoff. “It’s something we’re definitely noodling; there are other characters we can look at,” Gough told The Hollywood Reporter. Bajaria did give one hint. “There’s a lot to explore in the Addams Family.”

Wednesday Season 1 premiered on Netflix on November 23, 2022, and currently holds the record for Netflix’s most-popular English language show of all time with 252.1 million views in 91 days. The multigenerational hit series reached #1 in 90 countries and crossed the 1 billion hours viewed mark only three weeks after debut.

Season 1 ranked #1 on the Netflix Global Top 10 for six straight weeks after debuting, still a record for an English TV show. Season 1 also broke the record for the most-viewed in a week for an English language TV series on Netflix twice in back-to-back weeks.
