Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams is far from done raising hell at Nevermore Academy. Netflix has officially renewed its hit supernatural drama ‘Wednesday’ for a third season. The announcement was made via the platform’s official handle, with a cheeky nod to the show’s macabre humour.
The caption for the Netflix post read, “Season 2 awakens in two weeks. Season 3 is the next omen, already in motion, already inevitable (sic).”
Here’s the post:
Before that, however, fans can brace for Season 2 – releasing in two parts, with the first dropping on August 6 and the second on September 3, 2025. The upcoming season dives deeper into Wednesday’s eerie world, as she returns to Nevermore, still navigating secrets, friendships, and forces darker than ever. In the new trailer, she warns, “Secrets are the bedrock of the Addams family. The sooner I get answers, the sooner I can save Enid – or die trying.”

Series creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are crafting a long arc for Wednesday’s time at Nevermore, hinting that there’s much more story to tell. There’s even chatter about a spinoff series. “It’s something we’re definitely noodling,” Gough said. “There are other characters we can look at.”
While Ortega returns as both lead actor and producer, she’s also expressed interest in balancing her commitments and pursuing other creative projects. Still, Netflix is betting big on the Addams universe. Chief content officer Bela Bajaria confirmed, “There’s a lot to explore in the Addams Family.”
With a double release strategy, a third season greenlit, and whispers of spinoffs, Wednesday is shaping up to become a franchise as enduring as its gothic muse. The Addams saga is far from over – and fans wouldn’t have it any other way.
