Fans of Wednesday have plenty to be excited about as the hit gothic drama officially moves forward, with production underway and fresh details emerging about what could be the next chapter. With returning favourites, major new cast additions and hints of deeper mysteries, anticipation is already building around what lies ahead at Nevermore.

Netflix has confirmed the new season is currently in production, signalling that the story of Wednesday Addams is far from over. The update has sparked excitement among viewers eager to see where the series goes next after expanding its world and characters in previous episodes.

Release date rumours and production update

While Netflix has not announced an official premiere date, reports suggest the third season could arrive in early 2027, potentially rolling out in two parts with the first expected around July. No exact schedule has been confirmed, but the production continues near Dublin.

The new season is expected to continue exploring the Addams family legacy while expanding the supernatural world around Nevermore Academy. With production now underway, more details are likely to emerge in the coming months.

Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar teased the tone of the upcoming chapter to Tudum, saying: 'It's our dark delight to fling open Nevermore Academy's gates once more as we begin production on Season 3. We thank our invincible cast and crew for their continued commitment to doom and gloom. To the fans, we appreciate your patience and ravenous online commentary — your twisted theories have inspired nightmares.'

They added: 'This season, we welcome new students, new teachers, and excavate some long-rotting Addams Family secrets. Don't say you weren't warned.'

Cast returning and new faces joining Nevermore

Leading the cast once again is Jenna Ortega as the titular character, alongside returning stars including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Emma Myers and Hunter Doohan.

One of the biggest updates is the expansion of the Addams family storyline, with Joanna Lumley reportedly becoming a series regular as Grandmama Hester Frump.

Season 3 will also introduce several high-profile newcomers, including Winona Ryder, Eva Green, Chris Sarandon, Oscar Morgan, Kennedy Moyer and Noah Taylor. Green is set to play Ophelia, Morticia's long-lost sister, hinting at deeper family storylines ahead.

Executive producer and director Tim Burton shared his excitement about the new additions, saying: 'I'm so excited to be back for Season 3, and it's great to be reunited with all of the original cast. The addition of some dear friends and past collaborators of mine — Winona, Eva, Chris, and Noah — makes this season extra special. I feel very lucky.'

Plot hints and what to expect

Although specific plot details remain tightly under wraps, early teasers suggest Season 3 will dive deeper into the mythology of the Addams family while introducing new mysteries and threats at Nevermore.

According to early production notes, a new wave of 'insidious interlopers' will arrive at the academy, bringing fresh chaos and challenges for Wednesday and her classmates. The focus is expected to expand beyond the school, exploring long-hidden secrets and shifting dynamics within the Addams family itself.

Family members have taken on greater importance in recent storylines, and that trend is expected to continue, with more screen time dedicated to their backstories and relationships.

The creative team has also hinted at a darker tone, suggesting mysteries as Wednesday continues to navigate friendships, rivalries and the weight of her family legacy.

While fans may have to wait until 2027 for its release, the promise of new secrets, familiar faces and deeper mythology ensures the next chapter will be worth the wait.
