Production on the third season of Netflix’s hit series Wednesday has officially come to an end, with a first-look image of Jenna Ortega back as the iconic Addams Family character. Fans will have to wait until 2027 for the show’s return.
The cameras have stopped rolling on Wednesday Season 3, marking the end of filming for the next chapter of Netflix’s hugely successful supernatural drama.
The streaming giant confirmed the news with an exclusive new image featuring Jenna Ortega in character as Wednesday Addams, offering fans a fresh glimpse of the young goth icon ahead of the series’ return in 2027.
First released in 2022, Wednesday quickly became one of Netflix’s biggest global hits. Following the arrival of its latest episodes in the summer of 2025, the show is now preparing for another instalment of dark mysteries, supernatural adventures and family secrets.
Although viewers will not have to endure the same lengthy wait as before, the third season is still some way off. With filming now complete, the production team can turn its attention to editing, visual effects and post-production.
For now, Netflix is keeping the details of the new season firmly under wraps, with the newly released photograph offering little in the way of clues about what lies ahead.
Jenna Ortega Returns as Wednesday Addams
The first image from the new season shows Ortega sitting at her desk, her fingers poised over the typewriter she uses to document her macabre experiences and extraordinary adventures.
It is a familiar image for fans of the series, but one that signals the beginning of another chapter in Wednesday’s increasingly complicated life.
Season 3 is expected to explore further connections between the past and the present, delving deeper into the history of the Addams family while continuing to follow the adventures of Wednesday and her friends.
At the end of the previous season, Wednesday set off with her Uncle Fester, played by Fred Armisen, following another eventful school year at Nevermore Academy.
Several major questions remain unanswered, including the fate of her close friend Enid Sinclair, portrayed by Emma Myers. The new episodes are also expected to explore the darker secrets surrounding the women of the Addams family, including Wednesday herself.
While Netflix has yet to reveal specific plot details, the unresolved storylines from Season 2 are likely to play a key role in the next instalment.
When Will Wednesday Season 3 Be Released?
Netflix has confirmed that Wednesday will return in 2027, although an official release date has not yet been announced.
That leaves fans guessing about when the new episodes will arrive. Given the show’s previous release patterns, a summer premiere remains a possibility, although an autumn launch would also make sense, particularly with the Halloween season providing the perfect backdrop for the series’ gothic atmosphere.
For the time being, viewers will have to wait for further announcements from Netflix before a more precise release window can be established.
Winona Ryder, Eva Green and Lena Headey Join the Cast
While Ortega remains the centrepiece of the series, the third season is set to introduce several high-profile additions to its already impressive cast.
Among the most anticipated newcomers is Eva Green, who will portray Ophelia, Morticia Addams’ mysterious and troubled sister. Her arrival is expected to bring another layer of intrigue to the show’s exploration of the Addams family history.
Winona Ryder is also joining the cast, bringing considerable experience in gothic horror and dark comedy. Her addition is particularly fitting for a series that combines supernatural storytelling with an unmistakable sense of macabre humour.
Other new cast members include Lena Headey, best known for her role in Game of Thrones, and James Lance, who gained widespread recognition for his performance in Ted Lasso. Noah Taylor and Chris Sarandon are also set to appear.
The expanded line-up promises to add fresh dynamics to the series as Wednesday confronts new mysteries and uncovers more secrets about her family.
Ireland, France and a New Chapter for the Series
Filming for Season 3 began in early 2026 in Ireland, which also served as a production location for the second season. The series was previously filmed in Romania.
The upcoming instalment will also feature a change of scenery, with some episodes set in France. The move was teased in April through an unreleased image shared on social media featuring Wednesday and Thing, the disembodied hand known to fans as Mano in Italian.
With production now complete, anticipation is already building for the next chapter of Wednesday’s story.
Until Netflix reveals more about the plot and confirms the premiere date, fans can revisit the first two seasons, with all existing episodes available to stream on Netflix.
One thing is certain: Wednesday Addams has more secrets to uncover — and 2027 cannot come soon enough.
