Wednesday Season 3 is wrapped – but Netflix is silent on the premiere

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Wednesday Season 3 is wrapped – but Netflix is silent on the premiere.

The cameras are off, but the streaming giant is still silent: Filming on the third season of Wednesday wrapped in September 2026, and Netflix has so far kept a concrete premiere date under wraps. For you, that means: You can look forward to new episodes with Jenna Ortega – but you'll have to keep practicing patience. Here's what has leaked so far about the cast and plot.

When is Season 3 officially confirmed – and when will it air?

The continuation has been set for some time. In July 2025, and thus before the premiere of Season 2, Netflix officially confirmed the third season. Start of filming and end of filming are also known: Filming wrapped in September 2026. What's still missing is the premiere date. Netflix is keeping quiet, so you can only rely on the officially confirmed material and the cast updates so far.

These stars return to Nevermore Academy

In front of the camera once again is the 24-year-old Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams – that's set. Also returning are Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán (70), Emma Myers (24), Fred Armisen (59), Joanna Lumley (80) and Hunter Doohan (32). This keeps the Addams family universe around Morticia, Gomez and Co. fully in the picture, and the chemistry between the regulars is maintained.

Four new additions with star appeal

Alongside the returning cast, prominent newcomers await you: Winona Ryder (54), who has shaped two generations with Heathers and Stranger Things, and Lena Headey (53), unforgettable as Cersei from Game of Thrones, join the series. Also joining are Andrew McCarthy, star of the eighties classic Pretty in Pink, and with James Lance, another new face in the cast. For you as viewers: the third season mixes familiar Addams vibes with a hefty portion of Hollywood star power.

Where does the Daphne story lead?

Plot-wise, it's back to Nevermore Academy, where more mysteries surrounding the Addams Family await you. Particularly explosive: The danger hinted at in the Season 2 finale from Aunt Ophelia puts Wednesday in her sights. The show thus continues a plot thread from the major cliffhanger and picks up directly on the open questions you've been carrying around since the Season 2 finale.

What this means for you

Concretely, this means for you: You can look forward to new episodes, but still need patience because Netflix itself hasn't named a date. What you can do now: Re-watch the two previous seasons so you have Aunt Ophelia's backstory and the open story threads ready when Season 3 starts. For current news, it's worth keeping an eye on the official Netflix channels – once a premiere date drops, things typically move fast.
