Netflix is not letting go of its spooky golden girl just yet. While season 2 of Wednesday is still unraveling, the streamer has already confirmed that a third installment is on the way. The announcement had dropped in July 2025, before season 2 even premiered. According to Netflix, Alfred Gough, co-creator and showrunner, said the plan for season 3 is simple: “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.”
Co-showrunner Miles Millar backed that up, adding, “We will be seeing more Addams Family members and learning more family secrets in season 3!”
As for when we will actually see the next season of Wednesday is still unclear. Season 2 faced delays, partly due to the WGA strikes in 2023. If things go smoother this time around, we might not have to wait as long, but it is still likely a few years out.

Wednesday Season 3: Cast shakeups and returns: who’s in, who’s out
Season 2 already brought in some big names, with Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, and Joanna Lumley joining the madness. But not all characters are expected to return to the third season.
Who is exiting: Donovan Galpin (Jamie McShane), Laurel Gates (Christina Ricci), Dr Rachael Fairburn (Thandiwe Newton), and Xavier Thorpe (Percy Hynes White). That is confirmed.
Here is who we do expect back, according to Radio Times.
Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams
Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair
Hunter Doohan as Tyler Galpin
Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay
Moosa Mostafa as Eugene
Georgie Farmer as Ajax
Victor Dorobantu as Thing
Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams
Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams
Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams
Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Ritchie Santiago
Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester
Billie Piper as Isadora Capri
Steve Buscemi as Principal Barry Dort
Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester Frump
Where the story might go next
Plot-wise, things are pretty vague. But judging by past patterns, we will likely see Wednesday head back to Nevermore Academy to unravel yet another bizarre mystery. Millar’s tease about more family secrets hints at deeper Addams lore in season 3, which fans are definitely ready for.
The episode count has not been confirmed, but it is a safe bet we will get another eight - just like seasons 1 and 2.
At present, season 2 part 1 is streaming now on Netflix.
