Netflix has confirmed that Wednesday will return for a third season, continuing the spooky saga of Wednesday Addams and her unusual world. The official renewal was announced on July 23, 2025, weeks ahead of the Season 2, Part 1 premiere, underscoring the streamer’s confidence in the series.
Season 2 Cliffhanger Sets the Stage
The Season 2 finale left fans with several cliffhangers. Wednesday, alongside Uncle Fester, will spend the summer searching for Enid, who has become an Alpha werewolf after transforming under a full moon to save her best friend’s life. Meanwhile, Tyler is left without parental guidance following François Galpin’s death, and he turns to Professor Capri, who offers him a chance to join a new kind of supernatural pack. The most shocking revelation, however, is that Aunt Ophelia—missing for decades—is alive and imprisoned in Grandmama’s basement. Her chilling wall scribble, “Wednesday must die,” raises questions about her true intentions.
Aunt Ophelia’s Dark Return
Earlier episodes revealed that Aunt Ophelia shares Wednesday’s psychic abilities but lost control of them years ago, leading Grandmama to confine her to Willow Hill against Morticia’s wishes. The discovery that Ophelia has been alive all along shakes the Addams family. Co-showrunner Miles Millar teased that Ophelia’s reemergence will “hit this family like a bomb,” leaving Morticia and Wednesday to confront unanswered questions about their lineage and loyalties.
What the Creators Are Saying
Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar have shared their vision for Season 3. Gough explained, “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. We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.” Millar added that the new season will feature more members of the Addams family and unearth hidden family secrets, giving audiences a broader look at the legacy of the Addams clan.
Regarding Enid’s fate, Millar warned fans, “We’re certainly worried for Enid. It’s a big deal for Enid, and getting out of this is going to be difficult.” His comments confirm that her Alpha transformation will be a central storyline.
Likely Returning Cast Members
Though an official cast announcement hasn’t been made, most of the core ensemble is expected to return. Jenna Ortega will reprise her role as Wednesday, joined by:
- Catherine Zeta-Jones (Morticia),
- Luis Guzmán (Gomez),
- Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley),
- Fred Armisen (Uncle Fester),
- and Joonas Suotamo (Lurch).
Other likely returnees include:
- Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair),
- Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin),
- Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay),
- Georgie Farmer (Ajax Petropolus),
- Oliver Watson (Kent),
- Moosa Mostafa (Eugene Ottinger),
- Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Sheriff Santiago),
- and Joanna Lumley (Grandmama Hester Frump).
Characters such as François Galpin and Isaac Night, who were killed in Season 2, are unlikely to reappear except in flashbacks or ghostly visions.
When Will Season 3 Premiere?
Fans endured nearly a three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2 due to the Hollywood strikes. Fortunately, Season 3 shouldn’t take as long. If filming begins in early 2026, audiences can expect new episodes to premiere by mid-to-late 2027. The series will likely follow Netflix’s trend of multi-part releases, splitting the season into at least two segments to maximize anticipation. All episodes of Season 2 are currently available to stream on Netflix.
Why Fans Should Be Excited
Between Aunt Ophelia’s shocking return, Enid’s perilous transformation, and the promise of uncovering more Addams family history, Season 3 of Wednesday promises to deliver one of the most dramatic and suspenseful storylines yet. With the co-creators emphasizing deeper character exploration and expansion of Nevermore’s mythology, the new season is set to satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
