Netflix's biggest English-language debut, with Tim Burton behind the camera and a lead performance that became a global phenomenon.

About Wednesday

Wednesday moves the Addams family's eldest child to Nevermore Academy, a boarding school for outcasts, and makes her a detective in spite of herself. Jenna Ortega plays her with a flat affect that became the show's signature, and Tim Burton directed much of the first season and set its look. Netflix released it in 2022, it became the service's largest English-language debut, and a third season was ordered before the second had even aired.

The second season arrived in 2025 in two parts. The third filmed in Ireland from February 2026 and wrapped at the end of September, with Winona Ryder joining the cast, so 2027 is the expected year and the date is still to be confirmed. Nothing substantive about the plot has been released. The gap between seasons has run to roughly two years so far, which makes the wrap date the most useful thing to go on.
