Winona Ryder/Netflix; Jenna Ortega in a still from Wednesday

Wednesday is currently filming in Dublin, Ireland for its third season, according to a Netflix announcement. The statement was made after the second season of the show was successfully released. The second season premiered in late 2025 and is presently the seventh most-watched English-language series of all time on the platform.

Which iconic actor has joined the Wednesday cast for the new season?

The 67-second teaser, which debuted on February 23, revealed a larger ensemble for the upcoming season, thanks to the streaming giant. Winona Ryder, who will play the part of Tabitha, is one of the most notable additions. For the actor, this is a huge comeback; she co-starred with Jenna Ortega and produced the 2024 sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice alongside Tim Burton.

Noting Ryder's lengthy creative collaboration with Burton, showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar proclaimed her the "GOAT" (Greatest of All Time) of "Outcast" characters in a statement. Burton was quite excited about the reunion, calling it "extra special" because it included some of his previous collaborators.

What can fans expect from Wednesday Season 3 plot?

Season 3's plot is expected to continue where the previous season's finale left viewers. Production updates indicate that Wednesday's quest to find her roommate Enid, who was in grave danger towards the end of Season 2, will play a big role in the plot. As Nevermore Academy hunts for a new principal, the showrunners have hinted that the upcoming episodes will "dig deeper" into the secrets of the Addams family and add to the legend of the school.

Moving permanently from its original Romanian setting, filming is now taking place at Ashford Studios in Wicklow, Ireland.
