Will there be a Wednesday season 3? The Netflix show has been renewed for a third season and Winona Ryder is set to join the cast.

Here we woe again! Wednesday season 3 is officially in production — with some VERY iconic faces joining the cast. When does Wednesday season 3 come out though and who is the cast? Here's everything we know so far.

Wednesday season 3 had already been renewed before season 2 had been released, and now Netflix has confirmed that filming is underway. And this time, Jenna Ortega will be joined by her Beetlejuice Beetlejuice on-screen mother, Winona Ryder. (Winona Ryder + Tim Burton? We are sooooo back!)

Wednesday season 2 ends on a major cliffhanger so naturally viewers are eager to know what's next for Wednesday and the rest of the show's beloved characters. Scroll down to find out what's been revealed about the Wednesday season 3 release date, cast, plot spoilers, trailers, news and so much more.

When does Wednesday season 3 come out?

When is the Wednesday season 3 release date?

The Wednesday team are keeping season 3's release date close to their chests. Speaking to Tudum, co-creator Miles Millar was asked if he could reveal when it drops and he said: "Sure but then I’d have to bury you in a shallow grave.”

In February 2026, Netflix confirmed that Wednesday was officially in production on season 3 which means filming will start soon. For reference, filming on season 2 spanned from May 2024 to December 2024 with the show being released in August 2025. So it's more than likely that Wednesday will not return until 2027.

Like seasons 1 and 2, we imagine that season 3 will have eight episodes in total. Bookmark this page and we'll keep you posted with any updates.

Who will be in the Wednesday season 3 cast?

Netflix have now confirmed exactly which cast members and characters will be back alongside Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams... as well as who is joining the show and who is sadly leaving.

Here's the full cast list so far:

• Jenna Ortega - Wednesday Addams
• Catherine Zeta-Jones - Morticia Addams
• Luis Guzmán - Gomez Addams
• Isaac Ordonez - Pugsley Addams
• Joanna Lumley - Grandmama Hester Frump
• Joy Sunday - Bianca Barclay
• Georgie Farmer - Ajax Petropolus
• Moosa Mostafa - Eugene Ottinger
• Evie Templeton - Agnes DeMille
• Victor Dorobantu - Thing
• Emma Myers - Enid Sinclair
• Hunter Doohan - Tyler Galpin
• Billie Piper - Isadora Capri
• Fred Armisen - Uncle Fester
• Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo - Santiago

New members of the Wednesday season 3 cast include:

• Eva Green - Ophelia
• Winona Ryder - Tabitha
• Noah Taylor - Cyrus
• Kennedy Moyer - Daisy
• Oscar Morgan - Atticus
• Chris Sarandon - Balthazar

As for characters who died in season 2, like Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi) and Frances O'Connor (Françoise), we imagine that this is it for now. That being said, Wednesday has brought back dead characters before like Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) so anyone could return in season 3.

Noah B. Taylor will not be returning as Enid's love interest Bruno Yuson as he was not included in the official cast list. As previously confirmed, Percy Hynes White's Xavier will also not return.

Who does Winona Ryder play in Wednesday season 3?

Fresh off finishing Stranger Things, Winona returns to the Netflix family and reunites with long-time collaborator Tim Burton and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice co-star Jenna in Wednesday season 3.

Not much has been revealed about Winona's character yet but she's set to play 'Tabitha' and is only appearing a guest star capacity. So it's likely that we'll only see her in a few episodes.

"I am so happy that Winona has joined us, she fits right into this world," Tim Burton said in a statement. “And she’s a dear friend. I always feel lucky to work with her."

Miles Millar and Alfred Gough also teased, "When it comes to Outcasts, Winona Ryder is the GOAT," which suggests she won't be playing a normie.

Will Lady Gaga be in Wednesday season 3?

Lady Gaga only makes a brief guest appearance in Wednesday season 2 as dead psychic teacher Rosaline Rotwood.

As a result, it seems unlikely that she'll return in season 3 but you never know!

What will happen in Wednesday season 3?

Wednesday season 2 ends with Wednesday trying to track Enid and save her with the help of her family. However, we also learn that Ms Capri is the daughter of a Hyde and she offers Tyler the chance to join his a pack of Hydes.

Meanwhile, Hester is secretly hiding Morticia's sister Ophelia in her house in a cell. The final shot we see is Ophelia writing the words: "Wednesday must die".

Discussing season 3 with Tudum, co-creator Miles Millar said: "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. We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.”

Miles ended by teasing: "We will be seeing more Addams family members and learning more family secrets."
