Is Netflix’s Wednesday 3 already in the works?

Netflix’s hit show Wednesday has stirred up quite the buzz with recent developments.  The synopsis shared for the new season hints at Wednesday Addams’ continued journey at Nevermore Academy, where she hones her psychic abilities, uncovers local mysteries, and navigates complicated relationships. While this could easily describe season 2’s direction, the show’s momentum remains high despite a few controversies.

Despite not having aired its second season, the show’s production has reportedly already set plans in motion for a third season. According to Production List by the Film and Television Industry Alliance, Wednesday season 3 is in pre-production, with filming scheduled to begin in November 2025 in Wicklow, Ireland. This announcement surprised fans, who were eagerly awaiting details about season 2, and only adds to the show’s intrigue.

One major setback was the departure of Percy Hynes White, who portrayed Xavier in season 1. Following allegations against him, Netflix confirmed he would not return for season 2. This leaves Wednesday’s potential love interest storyline open-ended, as Xavier was one part of the love triangle between Wednesday, Xavier, and Tyler (Hunter Doohan), the latter revealed to be the antagonist in season 1’s twist ending.

Additionally, Jenna Ortega faced backlash during season 1 after she publicly expressed disagreement with some character choices, especially around the love triangle storyline. Some industry insiders criticized her remarks as overstepping, while others viewed it as Ortega advocating for her character’s integrity. The writers diplomatically addressed the situation, acknowledging that creative disagreements are natural in a collaborative environment.

Regardless of the behind-the-scenes controversies, Wednesday’s fanbase remains strong, drawn to the character’s unique personality and supernatural themes. Season 2 is expected to premiere in 2025, and the anticipation only continues to build as fans look forward to new mysteries, character arcs, and unexpected plot twists in this evolving universe.
