Bernard Walsh/Netflix Wednesdaywas renewed for a third season in August 2025. Season 3 will dig deeper into the Addams family's lineage, with long-lost Aunt Ophelia playing a key role. All eight episodes ofWednesdayseason 2 are now streaming. Wednesdayseason 2 is now streaming in full onNetflix, helping to usher in the long shadows of spooky season. The season's first four episodes arrived back in August, with its final four debuting on Sept. 3. Picking up where part 1 left off, part 2 sees Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) reunite with the late Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) in the spirit world, watch best pal Enid (Emma Myers) embrace her status as an alpha werewolf, and learn all about the Addams family's long, twisted history — and how it intersects with the shady happenings at Willow Hill. The season is riddled with loose threads that tease more creepy, kooky adventures to come. So, will there be a third season ofWednesday? What will it be about? Here's what we know so far. Helen Sloan/Netflix Yes, NetflixrenewedWednesdayfor a third seasonin August 2025, just ahead of its season 2 premiere. "Our goal for Season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season ofWednesdaywe possibly can," said co-creator and co-showrunner Alfred Gough. "We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore andWednesday." Miles Millar, the show's other creator and showrunner, added, "We will be seeing more Addams family members and learning more family secrets in season 3." Helen Sloan/Netflix As of this writing, there's no official plot synopsis for Wednesday season 3, but Gough and Millar have spoken extensively with Netflix'sTudumabout what fans can expect on the next go-around. One storyline that will be at the forefront of season 3 centers on Wednesday'sAunt Ophelia, who's been spoken about in hushed whispers throughout season 2. Ophelia, we learn, possessed similar psychic powers to Wednesday's, but pushed them too far and was thus sent to Willow Hill. Ophelia eventually left the psychiatric facility, but has been missing ever since. Well, in the final moments of season 2 part 2's finale, we see the flower-crowned Ophelia locked in Grandmama Hester's (Joanna Lumley) house. There, she's written on the wall: "Wednesday must die." Speaking with Tudum, Gough called the tease "a driver into season 3." Millar added that the question of how Ophelia fits "into the Addams family and what [she will] bring" is a major focus of next season. After all, Ophelia and Mortificia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) also have a complex relationship. "Ophelia has been gone a long time," said Millar. "It's left a hole in Morticia's life, and a lot of unanswered questions. The re-emergence of Ophelia is going to hit this family like a bomb." But there will be several other stories at play, such as how Enid will navigate her fate as an alpha werewolf. "Enid is going to be stuck as a werewolf, having some crazy adventures up in Canada. But she's going on a journey to find how to turn back into a human," Myers told Tudum. "Wolf-Enid probably expects Wednesday to come find and help her — or, at least, I imagine she hopes for it." Season 3 also offers a potential new start for Tyler (Hunter Doohan), who now has the opportunity to live as a Hyde without a master. "Imagine if we got to see Tyler really smile in season 3 — not a fake barista smile, not an evil grin," Doohan told Tudum. "It'll be the first time for the audience — and for Tyler himself — to meet the real Tyler. He's got a lot of making up to do. And a lot to reconcile with. So I don't know it's going to be an easy journey." And, with Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi) out of the picture after being exposed as a conman (and, you know, crushed by a chandelier), Nevermore is going to need a new principal. "You will be very surprised," Gough said of the school's new leader. Helen Sloan/Netflix In an interview withCollider, Gough and Millar confirmed thatWednesdayseason 3, like seasons 1 and 2, will consist of eight episodes. Netflix Netflix has yet to set a release date forWednesdayseason 3, but Gough and Millar told Collider that the season 3 writers' room is in full swing and that they hope to begin filming the episodes later this year. Ideally, the pair said, season 3 would premiere sometime in 2027. Helen Sloan/Netflix The first two seasons ofWednesdayarenow streaming on Netflix.
