“Wednesday” has been renewed for Season 3 at Netflix, sources confirm to Variety.
The news comes before the second season premiere of the Jenna Ortega-led supernatural comedy, which is the most popular English-language Netflix series of all time.
The streamer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“Wednesday” stars Ortega as the darkly funny Wednesday Addams, who is expelled from her school after dumping piranhas into the pool, and is transferred to a private academy for outcasts.
The series also stars Gwendoline Christie as the shapeshifting principal of Wednesday’s new school, Emma Myers as her werewolf roommate and Riki Lindhome as her school therapist.
The cast is rounded out by Jamie McShane, Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Naomi J. Ogawa, Moosa Mostafa, Christina Ricci, Steve Buscemi, Victor Dorobantu, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Billie Piper, Isaac Ordonez, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah Taylor, Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
“Wednesday” became an awards magnet after its first season exploded on Netflix in 2022, garnering four Emmy awards. “Wednesday” Season 2 will debut in two parts on Aug. 6 and Sept. 3.
