Since its debut in 2022, the Netflix series created by Tim Burton has established itself as a genuine cultural phenomenon. Led by Jenna Ortega, Wednesday is already preparing an ambitious third season, with new filming locations, including Paris.
The first clues about Wednesday Season 3 were revealed through an Instagram post from Netflix UK. The cryptic publication immediately sparked excitement among fans of the series, particularly thanks to an explicit reference to Paris.
The show, which centres on Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, revisits the world of the famous Addams Family in a modern and darker adaptation. Combining mysterious investigations, fantastical creatures and teenage tensions at Nevermore Academy, the series has become a global phenomenon on Netflix.

Paris, a new filming location
After filming previous seasons in Romania, the production team behind Wednesday is expected to bring its cameras to the French capital for part of the Season 3 shoot. The decision marks a significant aesthetic shift for the series.
According to several British and French media outlets, some of Paris’s most iconic landmarks could feature in upcoming episodes. Although Netflix has not yet officially confirmed the exact locations, the move suggests an even more gothic and mysterious atmosphere, perfectly suited to the world of Wednesday Addams.
The City of Light could therefore become a character in its own right this season. With its historic monuments, winding old streets and autumnal atmosphere, Paris appears to offer the ideal backdrop for the storylines imagined by Tim Burton.
The announcement has also reignited interest among French fans, who are eager to see how the series will incorporate Parisian culture into its already highly distinctive visual universe.
A star-studded cast
For this new season, Netflix is also expected to rely on an increasingly prestigious cast. Jenna Ortega is naturally set to reprise her iconic role as Wednesday Addams, while several fan-favourite characters will return to Nevermore Academy.
However, the biggest surprise of Season 3 lies in the arrival of several new faces from the worlds of film and television. Netflix has announced a number of high-profile additions to expand the universe of Wednesday. Among them are Winona Ryder, a fantasy cinema icon well known for her involvement in dark and gothic productions, and Chris Sarandon, particularly famous for his roles in several cult classics from the 1980s.
The cast will also welcome Noah Taylor, Lena Headey—best known worldwide for her role in Game of Thrones—as well as Andrew McCarthy.
With these new additions, the series continues to broaden its scope while retaining the gothic and mysterious identity that made it such a success. The blend of emerging talent and established actors could allow Season 3 to reach new levels of intensity and narrative depth.
Still driven by Tim Burton’s artistic vision, Wednesday continues to establish itself as one of Netflix’s flagship productions. According to the streaming platform, audiences will have to wait until early 2027 for the release of this highly anticipated season.
