The dark comedy returns for its second season next month.
Netflix has today renewed its original dramedy series Wednesday for a third season. The renewal comes ahead of the release of the second season - which debuts in two parts on August 6 and September 3.
In its second season, the series stars Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, Steve Buscemi, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman, Isaac Ordonez, Joy Sunday, Billie Piper, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Moosa Mostafa, Georgie Farmer, Victor Dorobantu, Evie Templeton, Owen Painter, Noah B. Taylor and Hunter Doohan.
Guest stars include Jamie McShane, Joanna Lumley, Joonas Suatamo, Fred Armisen, Christopher Lloyd, Thandiwe Newton, Heather Matarazzo and Frances O'Connor.
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar developed the series. They executive produce with Steve Stark, Andrew Mittman, Meredith Averill, Karen Richards, Gail Berman, Jonathan Glickman, Tommy Harper, Kayla Alpert, Kevin Miserocchi and director Tim Burton. MGM Television produces.
"It's been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe - one deadpan quip at a time," said Gough and Millar. "We're beyond thrilled she'll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3. This time, she'll unearth more of the school's sinister secrets - and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: 'Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation.'"
"The undeniable impact of Wednesday resonated immediately with fans worldwide, driving it to the top of our charts as our most popular English language TV show, and sparking cultural trends," added Bela Bajaria, Chief Content Officer, Netflix. "We are so proud of Al Gough, Miles Millar, Tim Burton, Jenna Ortega, and the entire Wednesday cast and crew for everything they've accomplished. On the heels of its highly anticipated season two return, we are thrilled to renew the iconic series for a third and to deliver more of what the fans love."
