Wednesday Season 3: When to expect Jenna Ortega’s return as the Addams Heiress on Netflix

Netflix has officially renewed Wednesday for a third season, much to the excitement of fans who have made it one of the platform’s most-watched shows. The announcement came in August 2025, even before Season 2’s debut, reflecting the streamer’s confidence in the Addams Family spinoff.

While there’s no confirmed release date yet, media reports suggest filming could begin in late 2025 or early 2026, setting up a potential release in 2027. Given the time-intensive production and visual effects, fans may have to wait a little longer than usual, but the creators promise a faster turnaround compared to the long gap between Seasons 1 and 2.

Why the Delay This Time Might Be Shorter

Season 2 took nearly three years to arrive due to the dual Hollywood strikes and a production move from Romania to Ireland. Each episode also involved thousands of special effects shots, adding to the delay. However, creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have assured fans that Season 3 won’t face such a drawn-out wait, with a more streamlined schedule now in place.

Story Threads Set to Continue

Season 2’s finale left viewers with plenty of unanswered questions, and Season 3 is expected to pick up from these cliffhangers. Among the major storylines:

Aunt Ophelia, revealed with the chilling message “Wednesday must die”, will likely emerge as a central antagonist.

Enid’s transformation into a full-fledged werewolf opens up a conflict that may require Wednesday’s help.

Tyler Galpin’s fate- possibly free from Hyde’s control- could take him down a path of redemption.

More members of the Addams family are expected to appear, deepening the gothic universe of the show.

Who’s Returning to Nevermore?

While Netflix hasn’t revealed the complete cast list, it is certain that Jenna Ortega will reprise her iconic role as Wednesday Addams. Alongside her, Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia), Emma Myers (Enid), and Hunter Doohan (Tyler) are expected to return. Like its predecessors, Season 3 is likely to feature eight episodes.
