Netflix Announces ‘Wednesday’ Season 3

The character is eerie, quirky, enigmatic, and chilling… and it’s already been greenlit for Season 3 by Netflix, with Season 2 still in the pipeline.

In exactly two weeks, you can look forward to the start of Season 2, Part 1 of the popular supernatural streaming series, premiering on August 6. The second part is scheduled to debut on the streaming platform on September 3.

As reported by Netflix, Season 3 is expected to delve more deeply into the narrative surrounding Wednesday, while also uncovering the mysterious family secrets of the Addams clan.

For Season 3, we aim to surpass ourselves and create an exceptional season of ‘Wednesday’, just as we do for every season. Our focus remains on further exploring our characters and broadening the realm of Nevermore and Wednesday, as indicated by showrunner Alfred Gough.

In Season 3, we’ll get to know even more members of the Addams Family and uncover additional family mysteries, as confirmed by co-creator Miles Millar.

Is Wednesday Getting a Spinoff at Netflix?

On a different note about this week’s updates, it has been verified that a prospective spin-off series is under development at Netflix. While specifics about the spin-off remain undisclosed, if it materializes, it appears to revolve around another character from the original series, potentially introducing us to a new member of the Addams family.

He mentioned that it’s a topic they’re considering seriously, and there are other potential characters they might explore instead,” Gough said to The Hollywood Reporter.

“There’s a lot to explore in the Addams family,” Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria added.

Look Into Our Crystal Ball: The Future of Wednesday on Netflix

Having confirmed Season 3, the co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar suggested to The Hollywood Reporter that they aim to delve into each academic year at Nevermore Academy for Wednesday, spanning a total of seven years. This could theoretically mean up to seven seasons.

Regarding Season 2 of “Wednesday”, Jenna Ortega, the star of Wednesday Addams, shared with The Hollywood Reporter that for this season, Netflix has expressed greater confidence in her and executive producer Tim Burton compared to the first one.

In simpler terms, Ortega hinted that this season will feature larger productions, longer sequences, and an increased number of talented cast members including Steve Buscemi and Billie Piper. Working with these gifted actors challenges him even more. Additionally, they plan to build on the excitement Wednesday felt after saving the school in the previous season by showing her struggling under the weight of attention. So, we can expect to see Wednesday dealing with intense agony due to the limelight again.

Meanwhile, Gough said in a statement that Season 2 will be even “funnier” than the first.

In the second season of “Wednesday,” our main character, a witty teenager, goes back to Nevermore Academy and swears to rescue her friend Enid following a string of chilling premonitions that hint at the demise of her jovial dorm-mates.

10 TV Shows People Love to Hate-Watch

1. And Just Like That…

2. American Horror Story

The initial seasons of “American Horror Story,” from “Murder House” to “Freak Show,” were almost perfection when it came to delivering chilling terror with a dash of eerie humor, and boasted an impressive lineup of stars. However, something shifted. While there were still exceptional acting performances like Lady Gaga’s in “Hotel,” the horror anthology series by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk started leaning more towards sensational horror for shock value rather than maintaining its focus on compelling storytelling.

Over time, what was once an engaging horror experience turned into a generic haunted house with cheap decorations, largely due to incomplete story arcs, repetitive character development, and illogical writing. Some loyal fans continue to watch, hoping against hope that the show will revert back to its original quality.

3. Riverdale

How did a murder mystery in the style of 1940s comics, initially seeming quite straightforward, suddenly veer into excessively supernatural storylines? The unconventional, strange narrative arcs of Riverdale are not for the weak-hearted or viewers who crave some form of realism.

Over the span of seven seasons that push one’s sanity to its limits, this teen drama started with a group of high school friends investigating a hometown murder, but quickly transformed into… something else. Each season becomes increasingly bizarre and complicated, accompanied by dialogue that is as unrealistic as the plot itself. The series features organ-harvesting cults, alien abductions, witchcraft, superpowers, time travel, and much more. It’s worth noting that Riverdale originates from Archie comic books. Despite maintaining a devoted fanbase, some viewers are drawn in out of sheer, intrigued fascination.

4. Emily in Paris

In a unique twist, there’s something intriguingly irritating about a main character you secretly want to see stumble. Emily from Netflix’s “Emily in Paris” isn’t necessarily a bad person; on the contrary, she seems quite well-meaning and somewhat endearing. However, just like when an unproductive colleague gets promoted, it’s infuriating to watch someone who is so woefully inept at their job reap endless benefits that they don’t truly deserve.

Despite the lavish accolades and opportunities bestowed upon her, Emily struggles terribly with her high-profile PR position in Paris, a city she navigates effortlessly while hardly making an attempt to learn French or immerse herself in local customs and traditions. Though her intentions are frequently noble, she interferes excessively with people’s careers and personal lives, becoming increasingly annoying, and makes some rather questionable decisions (including in the realm of fashion), which makes her a less than lovable protagonist. As for the show itself, the narrative is preposterous, the fashion is an overload of influencer-inspired garishness, and the dialogue is delightfully cheesy, making it ideal for mindless, so-bad-it’s-good entertainment.

5. Grey’s Anatomy

Although “Grey’s Anatomy” might be one of the most popular TV shows, it doesn’t make it flawless. After 21 seasons and still going, some fans find themselves stuck in a cycle of hate-watching this long-running medical drama out of loyalty, even though the show has seen a drop in quality and tends to repeat storylines frequently, along with some less than likable characters.

Some viewers delight in pointing out how implausible many of the show’s medical scenarios are (yes, we understand, Reddit community), while others find enjoyment in the excessive drama, awkward dialogue, and infuriatingly dysfunctional characters who should really have learned better by now. To sum it up, the soap opera-like melodrama serves as an inconsequential guilty pleasure for many fans.

6. The Idol

The cancellation of “The Idol,” Sam Levinson’s drama series about the music industry, was met with widespread boredom, despite being created by the same person who brought us “Euphoria.” Airing on HBO in 2023 and lasting only one critically panned season, the show followed a troubled pop star’s involvement with a morally questionable nightclub owner turned cult leader, played by series co-creator The Weeknd. However, many viewers found the show to be distasteful, sparking controversy and curiosity in equal measure.

The series was criticized for being perverse and joyless in its attempt to push boundaries, with both plot and characters struggling under the weight of excessive ambition. Most viewers tuned in not for a thoughtfully written or well-acted show that offered insight, but rather to witness the shallow, oversexed spectacle of a train wreck they could discuss on social media.

7. Invasion

Some viewers find the Apple TV+ sci-fi series “Invasion” unoriginal and repetitive, with poor acting and illogical plotlines that don’t seem to lead anywhere. Yet, despite these criticisms, many continue to watch it. Some have invested so much time in the show that they feel compelled to see it through to the end. Others enjoy discussing its shortcomings on forums or social media as a form of entertainment. And some are simply happy to have another alien-themed series in a TV landscape where such programs have been scarce for quite some time. Whatever their reasons, fans of “Invasion” keep tuning in, which is probably why the show has been renewed for a third season.

8. The Walking Dead

As a passionate movie enthusiast who’s been hooked on “The Walking Dead” since its inception, I can’t help but acknowledge that this series has had its ups and downs. Spanning an impressive 11 seasons, this horror-drama behemoth, which birthed a colossal media empire with numerous spinoffs, chronicles the journey of a band of survivors grappling with the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse.

However, much like the decaying walkers that fill its landscape, some viewers argue that as the years passed, the series lost its initial momentum, transforming from a tight, agile sprint to a lethargic amble due to a perceived decline in storytelling quality in later seasons. Critics point to repetitive plots, less engaging characters, an overly pessimistic narrative arc, and a shift towards excessive violence and gore as the culprits.

A moment frequently cited as a significant turning point is Season 7, particularly the brutal, gut-wrenching demise of fan favorite Glenn at the hands of Negan. Despite these criticisms, many fans remained loyal viewers, some perhaps ensnared by the sunk-cost fallacy – persisting in their viewing, even when interest dwindled or enjoyment waned.

9. Dawson’s Creek

One popular teen drama from the Y2K era, “Dawson’s Creek,” is often recalled for its blend of teenage turmoil, romantic drama, small-town New England appeal, and a cast that sparked chemistry during the late ’90s. Despite the initial draw being nostalgia or the desire to relive the ’90s, many new viewers find themselves enjoying the series by indulging in hate-watching the love triangle between Joey, Dawson, and Pacey, as well as other controversial aspects of the soap opera.

The title character is frequently criticized for being arrogant, self-important, and downright irritating to watch. The show’s handling of complex issues and themes has also received criticism. From its problematic storylines, to characters who speak too wisely beyond their years, and a protagonist who whines like a Nice Guy, some fans can’t help but express their disdain for “Dawson’s Creek.

10. Girls

Title capsule: Lena Dunham’s “Girls” – A snapshot of 2010s millennial unease

Sub A raw, satirical exploration of friendship, love, self-doubt, career struggles, and generational ennui in Brooklyn

First aired on HBO in 2012, “Girls” has sparked a love-hate relationship among viewers who admire its unflinching honesty and flawed, self-centered characters. Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna, despite being toxic friends who make questionable decisions, are captivating due to their struggles navigating their twenties.

Characters like Marnie with her cringeworthy music career and Hannah with her endless entitlement and romantic setbacks force viewers to practice empathy, as they root for and against these hipster protagonists over six seasons.
