Jenna Ortega has said that the third season of Netflix’s Wednesday will begin during the pupils’ final year at Nevermore Academy and will explore their approach to adult life. In an Esquire interview conducted while production was under way in Dublin, Ortega said the new episodes would address more direct feelings about family, adulthood and the future, as the characters confront the need to make plans beyond school. The remarks indicate a coming-of-age emphasis for the series, while stopping short of setting out its full plot.

The comments follow a second season that left several storylines unresolved, including developments involving Wednesday’s family, Enid and Tyler. GamesRadar+ reported that season three would introduce further characters, naming Eva Green as Aunt Ophelia, Winona Ryder as Tabitha and Lena Headey as a guest star. Ortega’s interview said filming had begun in February 2026 and that the season was not expected to debut until later in 2027; Netflix had not announced a specific release date at the time of the reports.
