Wednesday season 3 has officially been renewed, continuing the story of the titular goth girl as she fights to solve mysteries and save the people she loves. Led by the brilliant auteur Tim Burton, Netflix’s Wednesday is the perfect mix of teen drama, mystery, and horror.
The second season of the show saw Wednesday return to Nevermore Academy for a second year, and it was just as chaotic as the first one. She faced stalkers, the return of her hyde ex-boyfriend, and many family secrets.
After the climactic ending of Wednesday season 2, part 2, a third season is absolutely essential. Too many storylines were left open-ended to stop now. Here’s all the latest news about Wednesday season 3, which has luckily already been renewed.
Wednesday Season 3 Latest News
After Wednesday season 2, part 2’s release, Miles Millar hinted to Tudum that the Ophelia scene will play a bigger role in the next season. He said, “That reveal is hopefully a nice breadcrumb that leads audiences to wonder about Season 3 and what the new adventure for Wednesday will be.”
Al Gough agreed in the same interview and revealed this, “It was always the plan to give viewers a glimpse of [Ophelia] at the end of the season in a way that they weren’t expecting, and then that’s a driver into Season 3.”
Wednesday Season 3 Renewal Confirmation
Wednesday season 3 was officially renewed by Netflix on July 23, two weeks ahead of the season 2 part 1 release. The decision to renew the show ahead of time isn’t surprising, considering the first season still ranks as the most-watched English-language series of all time, beating out every season of Bridgerton and Stranger Things.
However, it does show just how confident the streamer felt that the second season would be well-received, despite the three-year gap between seasons 1 and 2.
Wednesday Season 3 Production Status
As of the release of Wednesday season 2, part 2, production hasn’t begun for Wednesday season 3. However, the Wednesday creators gave a promising writing update at the end of July, stating that they were making good progress on writing the scripts for season 3.
However, they revealed that they paused for Wednesday season 2’s release. Now that Wednesday season 2 has been released, they can put their whole focus on finishing the development phase.
No reputable information has been provided on a filming timeline for Wednesday season 3, but it could start any time now that production has wrapped on Jenna Ortega’s upcoming movie Ghostwriter.
Based on Wednesday’s creators’ previous comments about the production timeline, it takes a minimum of eighteen months to get the Netflix show from production to air due to the level of VFX. This includes nine months of filming and nine months of post. With this information, it’s likely that Wednesday season 3 will release in late-2027.
