Wednesday Stars Who Are — And Aren’t — Returning for Season 3 After Exit

Jenna Ortega‘s Wednesday is returning for a third season but not every cast member is confirmed to reprise their role.

Wednesday, which premiered in November 2022, is based on the character originally introduced in The Addams Family cartoons. The concept later was adapted into a TV series, several feature films and a live musical adaption.

Christina Ricci previously played Wednesday Addams in 1991’s The Addams Family and its subsequent sequel, Addams Family Values, before joining the Netflix series in a new role. She shared scenes with Ortega, who has since brought her own version of Wednesday Addams to life.

The first season followed Wednesday’s attempts to master her psychic powers at Nevermore Academy while dealing with a killing spree at the hands of a mysterious monster. Season 2 followed Wednesday returning to school after becoming the savior of Nevermore. She then prepared to save the day again after getting visions of Enid’s impending death.

Season 3, which is currently in production, is expected to follow Wednesday as she digs further into the Addams and Frump lore.
