Wednesday Snags Early Renewal For Season 3

Just two weeks ahead of its Season 2 premiere, Wednesday has scored an early renewal for Season 3, Netflix announced Wednesday.

Showrunner Alfred Gough and Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria also commented on the Wednesday spinoff that's currently in the works (an initial report claimed it would center around Fred Armisen's Uncle Fester), though official details remain a secret for now. "It's something we're definitely noodling," said Gough. "There are other characters we can look at."

Added Bajaria: "There's a lot to explore in the Addams Family."

Season 2, which will drop in two parts on Aug. 6 and Sept. 3, finds Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) returning to school — or "the scene of the crime," as she calls it in the trailer — where she's hailed as "the savior of Nevermore," a title she takes on with great reluctance. And if her visions of Enid's (Emma Myers) impending death turn out to be true, she may be forced to play the savior yet again.

Wednesday's Season 2 cast also includes Steve Buscemi as Principal Dort, Joy Sunday as Bianca Barclay, Moosa Mostafa as Eugene Ottinger, Georgie Farmer as Ajax Petropolus, Isaac Ordonez as Pugsley Addams, Owen Painter as Slurp, Billie Piper as Isadora Capri, Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo as Sheriff Rita Santiago, Victor Dorobantu as Thing, Noah B. Taylor as Bruno, Evie Templeton as Agnes DeMille and Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams.

Can't wait for Aug. 6? Netflix unveiled the first six minutes from the highly anticipated sophomore run's premiere at its annual Tudum event in May. Click here to watch.
