Production on Wednesday season 3 officially kicked off in February this year, with cameras rolling in Ireland, the same backdrop they used for season 2. Filming is expected to run through late 2026, followed by an extensive window for post-production and visual effects.
The season 2 finale left fans on a major cliffhanger, after Isaac buried Wednesday alive beneath the skull tree. To save her best friend, Enid sacrificed herself by transforming under a full moon, triggering her rare Alpha werewolf status that leaves her permanently stuck in her wolf form.
Season 2 closed with Enid fleeing into the wild to escape hunters, prompting Wednesday and Uncle Fester to launch a rescue road trip while Hester Frump secretly kept Morticia's long-lost sister, Ophelia, locked in a basement cell.
Now, considering where the Addams family left fans off in season 2, where does season 3 pick up?
In a recent interview with Esquire, Ortega revealed that Wednesday season 3 will be set during the titular macabre's senior year at Nevermore Academy, about a year after the start of season 2.
"This season, especially because the kids are seniors in high school now, we're dealing with more confrontational feelings regarding family and what it means to be an adult and what you see for your life," Ortega told the outlet, "It's not really until you get to the precipice of adulthood that you start to realize, 'Oh, God, well, maybe I've got to have a plan.'"
What Fans Can Expect From Wednesday Season 3
Wednesday season 3 promises to be the most ambitious installment yet, both story-wise and geographically.
For one, the new season breaks away from its traditional academy-bound formula, expanding to international locations including Paris as Wednesday Addams embarks on a personal quest.
The Addams family lore takes center stage with Joanna Lumley promoted to series regular as Hester Frump, while Eva Green joins the cast as Morticia's long-missing sister, Aunt Ophelia.
Joining the ensemble in recurring roles are Winona Ryder as Tabitha and Chris Sarandon as Balthazar, reuniting Ortega and Ryder following their work on Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice sequel.
Following the intensely dramatic season 2 finale, Emma Myers' Enid Sinclair finds herself trapped in her werewolf state, leading a cross-country rescue mission led by Wednesday and her Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen). Stay tuned for now.
