You didn’t need the psychic powers of a Raven to have divined this news: Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega as the titular antihero, will return for Season 3.

The renewal was announced before the debut of Season 2, which is now streaming on Netflix. It’s a sign — or an omen — of many more stories to tell, and of the series’ wide appeal. “Television has — and always will be — a team sport,” says co-creator and showrunner Alfred Gough. “[Co-creator and co-showrunner] Miles [Millar] and I have been doing this long enough to know that shows like this don’t come along every day. It’s such an alchemy of writing, directing, acting, crew, streamer, studio, and fans. We remain grateful and excited to continue this journey and tell these stories with all of our partners.” The first season of Wednesday remains the most-viewed English-language series on Netflix of all time.

What happened in the Wednesday Season 2 ending?

Season 2 explored darker, more complex stories, while also retaining the show’s signature macabre humor as Wednesday dove into intriguing new supernatural mysteries. The spooky tale crescendos with the woeful Season 2 finale. “Hopefully fans are very surprised and very satisfied by the finale,” Gough says. Millar agrees, adding that he hopes the reveals in Episode 8 provide “a nice breadcrumb that leads audiences to wonder about Season 3 and what the new adventure for Wednesday will be.” 

What can I expect from Wednesday Season 3?

You can expect those adventures to push Wednesday Addams further than ever before. “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,” says Gough. “We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.” Millar adds, “We will be seeing more Addams family members and learning more family secrets in Season 3!”

Who is in the Wednesday Season 3 cast?

The Addams Family grew a new tangled branch when Netflix announced that French actor and longtime Tim Burton collaborator Eva Green has been cast as the enigmatic and “missing” Aunt Ophelia, sister of Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Aunt Ophelia is one of the most mysterious figures in the Wednesday universe, and we can be sure Green as Ophelia will make an unforgettable impact on the new season. 

Gough and Millar told Tudum in an exclusive statement, “Eva Green has always brought an exhilarating, singular presence to the screen — elegant, haunting, and beautifully unpredictable. Those qualities make her the perfect choice for Aunt Ophelia. We’re excited to see how she transforms the role and expands Wednesday’s world.”

Green to Tudum, “I’m thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of Wednesday as Aunt Ophelia. This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world, I can’t wait to bring my own touch of cuckoo-ness to the Addams family.”

What is the Wednesday Season 3 release date?

As far as any more plot details or release dates, we’ll keep our eye on the crystal ball, but for now, the twisted minds behind Wednesday are staying dead silent — they won’t offer even a single rotting morsel. “Sure,” teases Millar, “but then I’d have to bury you in a shallow grave.”

Wednesday’s next chapter might be further in the future, but you can lurk in Nevermore’s Gothic hallways right now. All eight episodes of Season 2 are available — and beckoning you into the dark. Keep coming back to Tudum for even more Wednesday news as Season 3 approaches.
