Following its phenomenal first season, Netflix’s gothic hit Wednesday was renewed for season 3 even before the second instalment was released. Eager to know what’s next for our beloved outcasts? Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming third season of the gothic supernatural series.
Season 1 of Wednesday premiered in 2022 and became the most-viewed English-language series of all time on Netflix. Season 2 was released in two parts (Part 1 on 6 August 2025 and Part 2 on 3 September 2025) and continued to explore darker, more complex stories while retaining the show’s signature macabre humour. Season 2 also expanded the Addams family universe, focussing more on Morticia (played by Catherine Zeta-Jones), Gomez (played by Luis Guzmán), and Pugsley (played by Isaac Ordonez).
