Netflix has greenlit a third season of its hit supernatural comedy series “Wednesday,” starring Jenna Ortega as the titular character. The show, which premiered on the streaming platform in 2022, has become one of the most-watched original series ever on Netflix, with over 250 million views and 12 Emmy nominations.
The second season is set to launch on August 6, but before that, plans are underway for a spin-off series. Tim Burton, who executive produced the show, and Jenna Ortega have confirmed that a spinoff is in the works, although details remain under wraps.
Creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar expressed their excitement about Wednesday’s success and the opportunity to continue telling its story with new partners. “We’re beyond thrilled she’ll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore,” they said in a statement. The team aims to make each season the best one possible, citing an alchemy of writing, directing, acting, crew, streamer, studio, and fans as essential to the show’s success.
The third season is expected to delve deeper into the sinister secrets of the school and explore more of the Addams family crypt. With its dark humor and captivating storyline, Wednesday has solidified its position as one of Netflix’s biggest hits, making stars like Emma Myers, who also leads the BBC and Netflix series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.
