Netflix has ordered a third season of the supernatural comedy series ‘Wednesday’ starring Jenna Ortega in the titlular role. Season 1 was the most-watched original series ever on the streamer, with more than 250 million views.
Netflix posted on X: “he would never leave you hanging. Wednesday has been officially renewed for Season 3.
The news comes after ‘Wednesday’ Season 2, Part 1 launched on Netflix on August 6 (Season 2, Part 2 will follow Sept. 3). Season 2 features returning cast members Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Isaac Ordonez and Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, as well as newcomers Billie Piper, Steve Buscemi, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter and Noah Taylor.
In addition, plans are also in the works for a spin-off series, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and executive producer by Tim Burton. Creators/showrunners Gough and Millar said in a statement: “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. 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.’”
Said Gough: “Television has — and always will be — a team sport. Miles and I have been doing this long enough to know that shows like this don’t come along every day. It’s such an alchemy of writing, directing, acting, crew, streamer, studio, and fans. We remain grateful and excited to continue this journey and tell these stories with all of our partners. The goal for Season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can.”
