Is "Wednesday" returning for more gothic delights, or has Netflix decided to pull the plug?

While it wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility for the streamer to axe a popular show in its prime, this time it's opted for the safe bet: yes, there will be a "Wednesday" Season 3.

"It’s such an alchemy of writing, directing, acting, crew, streamer, studio, and fans," co-creator and showrunner Alfred Gough tells Tudum of the darkly charming drama. "We remain grateful and excited to continue this journey and tell these stories with all of our partners.”

Is There a 'Wednesday' Season 3?

Yes, "Wednesday" Season 3 is confirmed. Netflix announced the new season on September 5, 2025, just before the debut of "Wednesday" Season 2.

The streamer had a right to be confident. "Wednesday" Season 2 was watched for 219 million hours, even more than the 202 million hours of "Wednesday" Season 1.

What is the Story in 'Wednesday' Season 3?

There are currently no plot details available for "Wednesday" Season 3. However, the showrunner has teased an expansion of the universe.

“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,” says Gough. “We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.”

One question expected to be answered involves Wednesday’s mysterious aunt, Ophelia, who could be key to unlocking her dark family past.

Where to Watch 'Wednesday' Season 3

"Wednesday" Season 3 is a Netflix exclusive, so it will be available to watch exclusively on the platform. "Wednesday" Seasons 1 and 2 are available to watch on Netflix now.

How Many Episodes in 'Wednesday' Season 3?

The number of episodes in "Wednesday" Season 3 have not been revealed. However, both previous seasons consisted of eight episodes, so it's likely "Wedneaday" Season 3 will too.

'Wednesday' Season 3 Release Date

"Wednesday" Season 3 is expected to release in the summer of 2027. That gives a roughly two-year gap between seasons.

What Happened in 'Wednesday' Season 2?

At the end of "Wednesday" Season 2, Wednesday and her family successfully defeat Isaac Night. However, Tyler and the Hyde clan are still a threat. Meanwhile, Wednesday’s best friend Enid embraces her werewolf powers.
