Netflix has confirmed that filming for Wednesday season 3 has come to an end. The platform announced the news via its social media channels and a press release, noting that production has finished earlier than the most recent reports had suggested.
The announcement came through a social media post that read: 'Season 3 production has met its grave', accompanied by a new photograph of Jenna Ortega in front of a typewriter. The confirmation arrives just one day after it was reported that filming was still in its final stretch, but with several weeks remaining.
The filming of this third season has been particularly difficult to track. Initial estimates suggested that production would wrap at the end of May, then the forecast was moved to the end of August, and finally, filming continued throughout September in Ireland, the country to which the production moved starting with the second season.
Filming finished earlier than expected
According to sources close to the production, filming was expected to continue until mid-October, before Jenna Ortega began another film commitment scheduled for November. Some cast members had already finished their participation weeks ago, according to Instagram posts, while part of the technical crew remained on set until this very morning.
Netflix also updated the article dedicated to the series on its TUDUM platform today, although the changes detected were minimal: only a few words and the title were modified, in addition to incorporating the new photograph of Jenna Ortega.
This conclusion of filming also contradicts recent reports published by the British outlet The Sun, which pointed to alleged delays and problems in the series' production.
Who is in the cast of Wednesday season 3
To celebrate the end of filming, Netflix confirmed the extensive cast for this new season, which is larger than that of the second installment.
Confirmed leads include Jenna Ortega, Eva Green, Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, Isaac Ordonez, Billie Piper, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Victor Dorobantu, Evie Templeton, Oscar Morgan, and Kennedy Moyer.
The list of guest stars also includes heavy hitters: Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams, Joanna Lumley, Winona Ryder, Chris Sarandon, Lena Headey, Andrew McCarthy, James Lance, and Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
Creative team behind the new season
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar return as creators, showrunners, executive producers, and writers of the series. Tim Burton returns to the director's chair and also maintains his role as executive producer.
Jenna Ortega, the series' lead, adds an executive producer credit this season, alongside Steve Stark, Andrew Mittman, Karen Richards, Tommy Harper, Kayla Alpert, and Kevin Miserocchi. MGM Television continues as the studio responsible for production.
The official logline provided by Netflix for this season describes the series as a supernatural investigative mystery that follows Wednesday Addams' years as a student at Nevermore Academy.
When will Wednesday season 3 premiere on Netflix
With filming now concluded at the end of September 2026, the production is entering a long post-production phase. Wednesday is a series with a heavy visual effects load, as both the animation of Thing and a large part of the Nevermore Academy setting require intensive digital work. Productions of this scale usually require between six and eight months of post-production.
Netflix has already confirmed that 2027 will be the release year, although there is no specific date yet. Current estimates point to a launch toward the end of spring or, more likely, during the summer of 2027.
