Fans of Netflix’s darkly delightful series Wednesday have been eagerly awaiting the return of Jenna Ortega as the iconic Wednesday Addams, and it seems there’s more to look forward to than just the upcoming Season 2. In a recent interview, Ortega dropped some tantalizing hints about the show’s future, revealing that the creative team is already brainstorming ideas for a potential Season 3. With Season 2 still in post-production and set to premiere later this year, this news is a thrilling update for Addams Family enthusiasts who can’t get enough of the kooky, spooky world of Nevermore Academy.
The update comes from an interview with Collider, who spoke with Ortega while she was promoting her new A24 film, Death of a Unicorn. As reported on March 14, Ortega shared that while Season 3 hasn’t received an official green light from Netflix, the writers are proactively “messing around and throwing out ideas.” She explained, “With a show like that, you kind of want to get ahead of the game,” hinting at the team’s confidence in the series’ longevity. Ortega also gave a glimpse into Season 2’s progress, noting that she was doing ADR (additional dialogue recording) just two weeks ago, signaling that the editing process is still underway.
What’s particularly exciting is how Ortega described Season 2’s evolution, promising a deeper dive into horror influences that fans have been craving. She teased a standout frame featuring Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez) with a contraption around his head, rolling his eyes back in a way that echoes Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. “It’s insane. So bizarre,” she said, adding that the season includes a full episode inspired by classic slasher films, packed with horror references and elaborate sequences. This shift toward a darker, more cinematic tone—bolstered by bigger, bolder visuals—suggests that Season 2 will raise the stakes, setting the stage for even more twisted tales in a potential Season 3.
While Netflix hasn’t confirmed Season 3 yet, the show’s massive success makes it hard to imagine the streamer pulling the plug. Season 1 shattered streaming records, even outpacing Stranger Things Season 4 in its first week of viewership, and Ortega’s star power has only grown since, solidified by her recent role in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. With the actress now serving as an executive producer and the creative team already planting seeds for future storylines, Wednesday seems poised for a long, macabre run. For now, fans can anticipate Season 2’s arrival later this year—likely around late fall, if it follows the first season’s November debut—and dream of what grim delights Season 3 might bring to Nevermore Academy.
