Exciting times are ahead if you're a fan slinging Netflix's hit series, *Wednesday*. The show isn't just back; it has locked in a third season even before we've had a chance at season two! Jenna Ortega, who breathes life as Wednesday, spilled these beans with none other than Tim Burton during a chat with *The Hollywood Reporter*.
When asked how long they see this series running, Burton joked, “I don't think that question has an answer. You're asking two folks who seriously have no clue.” But there are whispers from fans, imagining seven glorious seasons since Nevermost Academy, where our heroes study, has a seven-year stint. Showrunner Alfred Gough seems just as keen, dreaming up Wednesday's epic full-length journey at school.
Whispers in spin-off land
And if that wasn't enough, there's chatter about a spin-off in development. Gough let slip that they're playing around with new ideas: “We have more characters we can explore.” Bela Bajaria from Netflix even hinted there's a goldmine in *The Addams Family*. Could we be in store more surprises?
Season two: What we're excited about
But first things first, season two! Mark your calendar because August 6 will bring more spine- tingling stories. Wednesday's back at Nevermost Academy, ready (or not) as ever. The trailer teases a big role this time around by Enid, played by Emma Myers. The forecast? Some dark clouds ahead as a vision predicting Enid's demise haunts Wednesday. How's she going save her best mate from such a fate? You can bet fans are keen on discovering just that!
The lineup features Catherine Zeta-Jones slipping back as Morticia, Luis Guzmán as Gomez, and Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley. Hunter Doohan will be seen again as Tyler/Hyde. Joining them, Billie Piper, Joanna Lumley, and Lady Gaga promises a star-studded ensemble.
Peeking at season three
So, a third season confirmed right outta left field? It has pumped fans even more. Netflix treated us with a teaser poster featuring Wednesday juggling a crystal ball with a ‘3' shimmering within. “Season 3: it looms, it lands, it lingers,” reads its tagline. And get this: “Bad things come in threes.” Intrigued yet?
Announcing a third season before season two echoes other bold streaming moves like HBO's early call on *The Last Of Us*' third season. But, it's a nod towards their trust in *Wednesday's* magic.
The first season did spectacularly well, grabbing 252 million views globally, turning it Netflix's top dog in English-language series. It's no shock then that they've opted in on this renewal.
New or need a reminder? Season one streams on Netflix. Revisit Wednesday's comedic-yet-mystery-driven life at Nevermost Academy and catch up before more unfolds.
With so much brewing, both upcoming season two and freshly green-lit season three promise endless entertainment. It's clear that *Wednesday*'s supernatural flair, memorable cast, and quirky appeal have locked its spellbinding essence on our screens.
As August 6 inches closer with season two's first half, followed by a second part on September 3, it's only right we gear up. More mysteries beckon. How will Wednesday and her crew fare in these new challenges?
