Excitement builds for Netflix subscribers as co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar confirmed Sept. 5 that Wednesday Season 3 will introduce more Addams family members and uncover family secrets – following Season 2’s record-breaking 50 million views in its first week.

Netflix officially renewed Wednesday for Season 3 on July 23, 2025, with co-showrunner Miles Millar stating “We will be seeing more Addams family members and learning more family secrets in Season 3.” The gothic mystery series remains Netflix’s most-viewed English-language series of all time with Season 1 pulling 350 million views since November 2022.
Production on Season 3 is scheduled to begin in Spring 2026 in Ireland, with filming expected to wrap by late 2026. The new season will likely stream in Summer 2027, possibly early June, based on the show’s typical 8-month turnaround from filming completion to premiere.
Co-creator Alfred Gough emphasized: “Our goal for Season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can. We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.”
Why Wednesday Fans Worry More Than Casual Streamers About 2027 Wait
The gap between Season 1 (November 2022) and Season 2 (August 2025) stretched nearly 3 years due to the SAG-AFTRA strike that pushed back filming schedules. Dedicated fans fear another lengthy wait as the writers’ room for Season 3 officially opened in late 2025, with principal photography not scheduled until Spring 2026.
Netflix CEO Theodore Sarandos predicted during the Fourth Quarter 2024 Earnings Interview: “When Wednesday comes out, you’re going to see all the social media platforms get flooded with tributes to this work.”
“We will be seeing more Addams family members and learning more family secrets in Season 3,” — Miles Millar, co-creator and co-showrunner.

Watch For These 4 Signals Before Dec. 2026 As Netflix Plans Wednesday Expansion
Netflix confirmed discussions about a Wednesday spin-off series in July 2025 alongside the Season 3 renewal announcement. Co-creator Miles Millar told The Hollywood Reporter: “We’ll take as many seasons as Netflix wants to give us. We certainly have a plan for season three and beyond, ways to keep evolving the character and follow her journey into adulthood.” Monitor these observable indicators through December 2026:
Casting announcements for new Addams family members – Watch trade publications like Variety and Deadline between Jan. 2026 and March 2026 for confirmed additions to the ensemble, particularly family members teased in Season 2’s finale.
Ireland production permits filed – Wicklow, Ireland production filings in early 2026 will confirm Spring filming schedule and potential location expansion beyond Season 2 sites.
Tim Burton directorial involvement – Executive producer Tim Burton’s directing commitment to specific Season 3 episodes signals production priorities and tone for the new mystery.
Netflix global top 10 data for Wednesday Season 2 longevity – Season 1 spent 20 weeks in the Global Top 10 and reached number 1 in 90 countries; Season 3 greenlight momentum depends on Season 2 maintaining similar endurance through Q4 2025.
Which Cancelled Netflix Drama Will Wednesday Outlast Through 2028?
Wednesday’s status as Netflix’s most-viewed English-language series provides unprecedented leverage for long-term planning, with creators already mapping storylines “for season three and beyond.” The series amassed 406.7 million viewing hours equivalent to 100.9 million views as of Sept. 2025, cementing its position as a franchise cornerstone. Unlike competitors facing uncertain futures, Wednesday benefits from early renewal decisions – Season 3 was confirmed before Season 2 even premiered. The show’s pre-release campaign for Season 2 generated 3 billion owned social impressions, breaking Netflix’s record for largest pre-launch social campaign ever.
With production timelines extending through 2027 and creators openly discussing multiple seasons, the question remains: Will Wednesday’s gothic mystery outlast streaming competitors battling cancellation through 2028?
