Netflix’s Wednesday—the eerie teen series that took the world by storm—isn’t done haunting your screens just yet. The streaming giant has officially renewed the gothic sensation for a third season ahead of its second season premiere, which drops in two parts on August 6 and September 3, 2025.
Originally premiering in November 2022, Wednesday became Netflix’s most popular English-language series of all time. Season 1 also made history as the first English TV show to hit 1 billion hours viewed in under three weeks and spent six consecutive weeks at #1 on the Netflix Global Top 10.
And the hype hasn’t slowed. Season 2 is already one of Netflix’s most anticipated releases of the year, especially since breaking the news that Lady Gaga will be making a cameo. Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor will also appear as series regulars and Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Lumley, Thandiwe Newton, Frances O’Connor, Haley Joel Osment, Heather Matarazzo and Joonas Suotamo will have guest roles.
A Dark Delight
Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are excited to unleash another chapter of macabre mischief:
“It’s been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe—one deadpan quip at a time. We’re beyond thrilled she’ll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3,” they said. “This time, she’ll unearth more of the school’s sinister secrets—and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: ‘Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation.’”
Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria added:
“The undeniable impact of Wednesday resonated immediately with fans worldwide… On the heels of its highly anticipated season two return, we are thrilled to renew the iconic series for a third and to deliver more of what the fans love.”
What to Expect in Season 2
Jenna Ortega returns as the deadpan queen herself, joined once again by creators Gough and Millar and executive producer/director Tim Burton. The new season will follow Wednesday Addams as she navigates fresh threats, family drama, and a chilling new supernatural mystery within the haunted halls of Nevermore Academy.
Hunter Doohan, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Fred Armisen, Isaac Ordonez and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo will also return.
Season 2 will premiere in two parts:
- August 6: Episodes 201–204
- September 3: Episodes 205–208
