Popular Netflix series “Wednesday” has been renewed for a third season! The announcement came ahead of its season two premiere, set for a two-part debut on the streaming platform on August 6 and September 3, respectively.
“Wednesday” premiered on November 23, 2023, and currently holds the record for Netflix’s most popular English-language show of all time, with 252.1M views in 91 days. Fans are highly anticipating the arrival of season two, following the release of the trailer and announcement of Lady Gaga joining the cast at Netflix Tudum earlier this year.
Showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar comment on the season three renewal, “It’s been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe—one deadpan quip at a time. We’re beyond thrilled she’ll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3. This time, she’ll unearth more of the school’s sinister secrets—and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: ‘Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation.’”
Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria says, “The undeniable impact of Wednesday resonated immediately with fans worldwide, driving it to the top of our charts as our most popular English language TV show, and sparking cultural trends. We are so proud of Al Gough, Miles Millar, Tim Burton, Jenna Ortega, and the entire Wednesday cast and crew for everything they’ve accomplished. On the heels of its highly anticipated season two return, we are thrilled to renew the iconic series for a third and to deliver more of what the fans love.”
