Jenna Ortega is officially back in front of the cameras as Wednesday Addams, with Netflix confirming that Season 3 of hit series 'Wednesday' is now in production near Dublin – but fans face a likely wait until 2027 for its return.
While the streamer has yet to announce an exact premiere date, current filming schedules and industry reports strongly suggest the new season will not arrive in 2026.
'Wednesday' Season 3 Release Date Update
The biggest takeaway for fans is that 'Wednesday' Season 3 is not expected to arrive on Netflix this year.
Production officially began near Dublin in February 2026, making a late 2026 premiere increasingly unlikely. Netflix has not provided a specific month or day for the third season, meaning any precise release date circulating online should still be treated with caution.
Industry reports have pointed towards 2027 as the most likely window. One recent production update suggested Netflix could be considering a summer or autumn 2027 release, although that timing has not been officially confirmed by the streamer. That means fans should expect a longer wait before Wednesday returns to Nevermore Academy.
Production Is Underway
Netflix confirmed in February that Season 3 had entered production near Dublin. The announcement also revealed several major additions to the cast, including Winona Ryder, Chris Sarandon, Noah Taylor, Oscar Morgan and Kennedy Moyer.
Eva Green has also joined the series as Ophelia, the long-lost sister of Morticia Addams. The returning cast includes Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams and Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, alongside several other familiar faces.
The new season is expected to expand the world of the Addams family while introducing a new collection of mysteries and characters. Netflix has teased that the season will uncover more Addams family secrets and bring new students and teachers into Nevermore.
Wednesday Could Be Heading to Paris
Season 3 also appears set to take Wednesday beyond the familiar surroundings of Nevermore Academy. Netflix has released a behind-the-scenes image suggesting that the series will feature a Paris detour, giving the new season a noticeably different setting.
Production has been based near Dublin, while reports have also indicated filming in France. The potential European expansion adds another layer to the new season, although Netflix is keeping the details of Wednesday's next adventure closely guarded.
When Will 'Wednesday' Season 3 Be Released?
For now, there is no official release date for 'Wednesday' Season 3. Netflix's own Season 3 coverage confirms that production is underway but avoids giving a premiere date. The streamer has instead encouraged fans to wait for further updates as the new season progresses.
A 2027 release is currently the clearest expectation based on the production schedule. However, the exact timing could depend on filming, post-production and Netflix's wider release strategy.
The wait is also understandable given the scale of the series. 'Wednesday' has become Netflix's most-viewed English-language series, according to the streamer, making Season 3 one of its most anticipated returning shows.
For fans, the latest update therefore offers both good and bad news. Current production timelines point towards a 2027 return for Jenna Ortega's Wednesday, although Netflix has yet to confirm an official release date. Until Netflix confirms a specific date for 'Wednesday' Season 3, any reports naming an exact premiere day should be considered unofficial.
