The most successful English-language Netflix series to date is continuing. And that doesn’t just mean the upcoming start of the second season on August 6, 2025. As the usually well-informed U.S. industry magazine “Variety” now reports, Netflix has officially confirmed “Wednesday” Season 3.
What Is “Wednesday” Season 3 About on Netflix?
There aren’t many details available at this point. Aside from a possible (still unknown) character death in Season 2, it’s expected that all major stars will return. Of course, Jenna Ortega as the titular (anti-)heroine is a must. But Gwendoline Christie as the school principal, Emma Myers as werewolf roommate Enid, and Riki Lindhome as the therapist are also expected to return.
Other stars like Steve Buscemi, Christina Ricci, or Catherine Zeta-Jones are also expected to return. Behind the scenes, nothing significant seems to be changing for now. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar remain the showrunners, and Tim Burton continues as one of the executive producers.
