WEDNESDAY Season 3 (2026) Jenna Ortega & Emma Myers

Wednesday is already back in production for the third season, and this time, there are a bunch of new faces joining the cast. Just to catch you up, back in late 2022, Netflix dropped Wednesday, a live-action series centered on Wednesday Addams from the Addams family. Directed with Tim Burton's signature dark style, the show blew up almost instantly and became one of Netflix's biggest hits ever, still holding the record for the most-watched English-language series on the platform with nearly 2 billion hours viewed. Jen Ortega, now 22, took on the role of Wednesday and completely made it her own while still standing alongside Christina Ricci's iconic 90s version. Fans quickly fell in love with this darker, more modern take on the character and her creepy, chaotic world. Season 2 arrived three years later in summer 2025, split into two parts and delivered a mix of satisfying twists and some pretty shocking reveals. But it also left a lot hanging, like what really happened to Enid, whether Grandma Hester can still be trusted, Tyler's future as a Hyde, and the mystery surrounding Aunt Ophelia. There are still a ton of unanswered questions, and season 3 is expected to finally dig into all of them. Wednesday was officially renewed for season 3 even before season 2 even premiered. In a July 23, 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Tim Burton and Jen Ortega confirmed that Netflix had already greenlit the next season. Netflix then made it official shortly after, through Tadum dropping a first-look poster of Wednesday standing in front of a crystal ball held by Thing with the number 3 clearly shown and the tagline, Bad Things Come in Threes. The showrunners also shared what fans can expect moving forward. Alfred Goh said their goal is to make season 3 the best one yet, while digging deeper into the characters and expanding the world of Nevermore. Miles Miller added that we'll be seeing more of the Addams Family and learning even more of their secrets. There were also hints that the Wednesday universe could grow beyond just the main show, with talks of a possible spinoff in very early development. Netflix executives even teased that there's a lot to explore within the Addams Family world. On top of that, the creators revealed they've been planning ahead for a while, with ideas stretching across multiple seasons. They've mentioned they originally mapped out storylines for as many as four seasons, keeping things flexible depending on which characters stand out and how the story evolves over time. We've already got a lot of info about Wednesday season 3, but first let's talk about who's actually in the cast. On February 23, 2026, Netflix officially announced the cast for the new season, and good news, most of the main characters are coming back. Returning for season 3 are Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia, Luis Guzman as Gomez, Isaac Ordonez as Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama Hester, Joy Sunday as Bianca, Georgie Farmer as Ajax, Musa Mostafa as Eugene, Evie Tumbleton as Agnes, Victor Dorobantu as Thing, Emma Myers as Enid, Hunter Doohan as Tyler, Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester, Billy Piper as Isadora Capri, Luanda Unadi-Luis Niallo as Deputy Santiago, Juna Suotamo as Lurch, Liv Spencer as Bericose, and several others. On top of that, a few new faces are joining the show too. The biggest surprise is Winona Ryder, who is staying in the Netflix world after Stranger Things and joining Wednesday as a guest star named Tabitha. Not much is known about her character yet, but it's already getting a lot of attention. Fun fact, Jenna Ortega and Winona Ryder also played a mother-daughter duo in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, so this reunion is definitely one to watch. There are also a bunch of guest stars joining Wednesday Season 3, including Game of Thrones alum Lena Headey along with Andrew McCarthy and James Lance, though their roles are being kept secret for now. More new cast members include Chris Arandon, the Princess Bride as Balthazar, Noah Taylor, Peaky Blinders Game of Thrones as Cyrus, Oscar Morgan, a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms as Atticus, and Kennedy Moyer-Ruffman as Daisy. They all join another major addition that was announced earlier, French actress Ava Green, who was revealed on November 25, 2025 to be playing Ophelia Adams, Morticia's mysterious sister who's been heavily referenced in Season 2 but never fully seen. However, not everyone is returning this time around. Noah B. Taylor, who played Bruno Yuzan in Season 2, won't be back for Season 3. The show had already gone through some cast changes before, including Naomi J. Ogawa, Yoko Tanaka, and Percy Hines-White Xavier Thorpe being written out after Season 1, with Xavier later being explained as having moved abroad in Season 2. The cast announcement video also shows a big question mark teasing a possible surprise A-list cameo that Netflix is keeping completely under wraps for now. And honestly, that's not too surprising. Season 2 already pulled in a major surprise with Lady Gaga, who showed up as psychic teacher Rosalynne Brotwood at Nevermore Academy, and even dropped an original track for the show called Dead Dance. For now, though, Netflix isn't saying anything else, so that mystery cameo is saying exactly that. A total enigma. The big question now is, what will Wednesday's Season 3 actually be about? To figure that out, we've got to look at how Season 2 ended. It wrapped up a lot of major storylines, like Things Origin, Morticia and Gomez's hidden past involving Isaac, which also explains why Gomez lost powers, and even Tyler's complicated family background. But even with all those answers, a few big mysteries are still hanging, and they could easily shape Season 3. The first major one is Enid's future. Earlier in Season 2, Enid learns from Isadora Capri that she might be an alpha werewolf, meaning she doesn't need a full moon to transform. The catch is that if she shifts during a full moon, she might never be able to turn human again. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happens when she transforms to save Wednesday. In the finale, Enid turns into a wolf to dig Wednesday out after she's buried alive by Isaac, even though it's a full moon. After that, she runs off into the woods, and the last we hear is that she's been spotted near the Canadian border. Wednesday and Uncle Fester are now heading out to find her, so it's safe to say Enid's situation is likely going to be one of the main storylines at the start of Season 3. Even though she becomes stronger and more independent as an alpha, the power comes with the downside. She may be stuck in wolf form, which isolates her and puts her at odds with other werewolves who fear alphas. As a result, she ends up on her own journey in the Canadian wilderness, trying to figure out how to turn back into a human, while Wednesday and Uncle Fester set out to find her. Another major plot thread is Aunt Ophelia. In the Season 2 finale, Wednesday receives Ophelia's journal from Morticia, which brings back her psychic visions in a weaker form. She then sees a shocking vision of Ophelia still alive, but what she doesn't know is that Ophelia is actually being held captive at Hester Frump's manor. So, if Season 3 follows a similar production and post-production schedule, it's likely we won't see it until sometime in 2027. Well, that's it for today. Let me know what you think in the comments below, and don't forget to because we'll be covering more updates on this soon. See you next time!
