Netflix Confirms Wednesday Season 3 with Jenna Ortega

Netflix announced the Wednesday renewal before Season 2 Part 1 even premiered. The streaming giant locked in Jenna Ortega early. Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar praised the global fanbase.

The official announcement came on July 23, 2025—two weeks ahead of Season 2’s debut. This strategic timing ensured fans knew more content was coming. Netflix called the gothic series a “dark delight” for audiences worldwide.

“It’s been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe—one deadpan quip at a time.”

Alfred Gough & Miles Millar, Showrunners

Why the Long Wait Until 2027?

Wednesday needs significant time for production and post-production work. The writers’ room opened in October 2025 to develop scripts. Filming won’t begin until Spring 2026 in Ireland.

Production typically lasts nine months, followed by another 12-14 months of editing and visual effects. The early renewal protects Jenna Ortega’s availability through 2026-2027. She abandoned Scream VII due to Wednesday conflicts.

The 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes delayed many shows. Netflix learned that Wednesday requires meticulous craftsmanship. Fewer episodes means more quality time per installment.

Production Timeline and Release Details

Here’s the confirmed production schedule for Wednesday season 3:

Milestone Date
Writers’ Room Opens October 2025
Filming Begins Spring 2026 in Wicklow
Filming Location Ashford Studios, Ireland
Post-Production 12-14 months
Premiere Window Summer 2027

Netflix targets June 2027 for the Summer 2027 debut. Production at Ashford Studios in Wicklow provides the gothic atmosphere fans love. Ireland’s locations enhance the supernatural, dark aesthetic.

What’s Next for Wednesday and the Cast?

  • Season 3 will likely follow the two-part release format like Season 2
  • Jenna Ortega returns as both star and executive producer
  • Returning cast includes Emma Myers, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones
  • New cast members may join for expanded storylines
  • Wednesday’s search for Enid deepens in darker directions

Will There Be Even More After Season 3?

Netflix hasn’t confirmed Season 4 yet, but the show’s massive global success suggests more could come. Wednesday consistently ranks in Netflix’s top programs worldwide. The early renewal strategy indicates Netflix’s confidence in the franchise.

Creators Gough and Millar have long-term plans for the character. With a Wednesday spinoff in development, the Nevermore Academy universe keeps expanding. Could you wait until Summer 2027 to see what darkness Wednesday uncovers next?

    • 2027 for Wednesday Season 3? Sounds like theyre making us wait longer than it takes me to decide what to order at a food truck. Are they trying to test our patience or planning to release it alongside hoverboards and flying cars? Maybe theyve hidden secret clues in the show that we need six years to decipher. What do you think: will the wait make the show even better or leave us more confused than a cat in a room full of laser pointers?

  3. Do you remember when waiting for a new season meant just a few months, not years? Why the long wait until 2027 for Wednesday Season 3 with Jenna Ortega? I guess good things come to those who wait… but seven years, Netflix? Really?

    • Waiting for a new season used to be like waiting for the pizza delivery guy – quick and satisfying. Now it feels more like waiting for that one friend whos always late to the party. Seven years for a new season is practically a lifetime in binge-watching years! Maybe Netflix is trying to teach us the art of patience in this instant-gratification world. Or maybe they just love keeping us on the edge of our seats. Who knows, maybe by 2027, well have teleportation devices, and we can just zap ourselves into the show. Imagine that, teleporting into a Jenna Ortega series! Would you wait seven years for a show, or would you have moved on to the next binge-worthy thing by then?
