Netflix Officially Renews Wednesday for Season 3 — Plus, a Spin-Off Is in the Works
Netflix is doubling down on its creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky hit. The global phenomenon Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega as the deadpan queen of goth, is officially returning for a third season—and that’s not all. A spin-off series is also in development, expanding the macabre world of the Addams Family in a major way.
This move marks Netflix’s growing investment in franchise content—an effort to keep viewers locked in with worlds they love.
Season 3 Confirmed Before Season 2 Drops
While Season 2 of Wednesday hasn’t even premiered yet (set to debut in two parts this fall), Netflix has already given the green light for Season 3. The announcement was made on July 23, 2025, and came directly from Netflix’s top brass, along with a statement from series creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar.
“We’re thrilled Wednesday Addams will be haunting screens for a third season,” the creators said. “Expect more danger, more dark humor, and a deeper dive into the twisted halls of Nevermore Academy.”
It’s a rare move for the streaming giant to commit to future seasons before the current one airs—signaling major confidence in both the show’s performance and its cultural staying power.
Jenna Ortega, Tim Burton and a Cult-Like Fandom
Jenna Ortega has become one of the biggest Gen-Z stars in the U.S. thanks to Wednesday, with her brooding, witty portrayal striking a chord with both new fans and diehard Addams Family loyalists. The success of Season 1 catapulted her into global stardom, and her performance even earned her Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.
The involvement of Tim Burton, who directed four episodes and remains an executive producer, has also been key. His signature style helped turn the show into more than just another teen drama—it’s gothic Americana with bite.
In the U.S., Wednesday quickly climbed Netflix’s Top 10 lists, becoming the platform’s most-watched English-language debut season ever at the time of its release. With Halloween culture, horror-core fashion, and anti-hero female leads trending in American media, the show became more than a hit—it became an aesthetic.
While details remain under wraps, Netflix has confirmed that a spin-off is in early development. Insiders say the show will expand the Wednesday universe, potentially focusing on other members of the Addams clan or beloved side characters.
Rumors are already swirling about a Uncle Fester spin-off, while others speculate a solo journey for Thing, the silent scene-stealer and surprise fan favorite. Netflix hasn’t revealed titles or release windows yet, but the concept is part of a broader push to build out its own “Addams Cinematic Universe.”
Think of it as Netflix’s answer to Disney’s Marvel or HBO’s House of the Dragon—but with more sarcasm, poison and eyeliner.
