The story, neutrally told

Netflix announced on 30 September that production on the third season of Wednesday has officially wrapped. It also released a new image of Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams sitting at a typewriter. Screen Rant says production began in February; Radio Times says it began in Ireland, while Variety says the season was shot in Paris and Dublin.

No release date has been announced; Deadline says the season is slated for 2027. The Hollywood Reporter says extensive post-production effects work means a long wait, though a return next fall seems plausible because season 2 came eight months after filming wrapped. Radio Times also notes the eight-month gap between the end of season 2 filming in December 2024 and its August 2025 release.

Season 1 arrived in 2022 and season 2 in 2025, a nearly three-year gap. Newcomers include Eva Green as Ophelia, Morticia's sister, and Winona Ryder, alongside Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy and James Lance. Screen Rant reports Ortega said the season is set during Wednesday's senior year at Nevermore Academy.

Outlets differ on season 2's ranking: Variety says No. 10 most-watched title on Netflix, while The Hollywood Reporter and Digital Spy say sixth among English-language seasons.
