Netflix's smash hit supernatural mystery comedy, Wednesday, is finally moving forward with the production of season 3 to make every nightmare come true. The show's signature dark magic, mystery, stunning locations, and that deadpan stare from Jenna Ortega's remarkable Wednesday Addams are in full bloom. 

After the first two seasons mesmerized millions, everyone is already looking forward to Season 3, ready with a bag of popcorn and unique turmoil theories. As the countdown for the next season begins, new updates have cleared up the swirling rumors and ever-shifting filming dates.

So, when does the Nevermore Academy reopen with its breathtaking new recruits and landscapes? 

Always trust Gomez to be the reliable one, as actor Luis Guzmán finally revealed when Wednesday Season 3 begins filming and where. First shared by Wednesday fan account Micol (@wensadms) on X, Guzmán, in a live Q&A, confirmed that the third season starts filming in February 2026.

Despite Netflix's secrecy surrounding the production timeline, which was initially expected to begin in November 2025 in Ireland, Guzmán declared to the room full of people that they are set to move "back into production in February for the third season. Are you guys ready for the third season?"

Spring 2026 will see the start of season 3 production in Wicklow, Ireland, according to What's on Netflix. That very gothic landscape, which cemented various nooks and crannies of the Nevermore Academy into the mindscape of millions of viewers, would possibly return in the new season, shifting its tone to a scale darker. 

Netflix renewed Wednesday for the 3rd season in the summer of 2025, officially before the 2nd season even aired, revealing a big leap of faith in the series’ lasting popularity. And proving the streaming giant quite right, the show still sits as the fourth-most-watched English content on Netflix. With new cast members and a revamped storyline that digs deep into family secrets, Season 3 might even outdo the historic numbers.

The dark humor and gothic heartbeat of Wednesday is set to scream louder in the third season with brand new additions.

Among the surprising events of Season 2 was the unveiling of Aunt Ophelia, which hinted at the possibility of new actors coming on board to expand the spooky mythology. Penny Dreadful's Eva Green has officially joined the cast of Wednesday Season 3.

Needless to say, the main ensemble also returns, including Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and more. Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, Isaac Ordonez, Billie Piper, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Victor Dorobantu, Evie Templeton, and more round out the cast.

In an interview with Games Radar, Jenna Ortega teased a female-focused storyline that will delve more into the cliffhangers left behind by the past season. Meanwhile, the co-showrunner Miles Millar told Tudum, "We will be seeing more Addams Family members and learning more family secrets in season 3!"

Though Netflix has not announced a release date for Wednesday Season 3 yet, Nevermore is set to be even darker, more mysterious, stranger, and more spine-chilling than ever.
