The Addams Family is growing.
On Thursday, Netflix revealed a trio of new guest stars for Wednesday season three, including another alum from the Game of Thrones universe. Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), Andrew McCarthy (St. Elmo’s Fire) and James Lance (Ted Lasso) have joined the madness — production on the smash-hit show’s third season is currently underway near Dublin.
We do not yet have a sense of premiere timing — let alone a release date — for Wednesday season three. There’s also not much of a predictable pattern to guesstimate off of: Wednesday season one debuted over Thanksgiving week in 2022, which definitely paid off for Netflix. Season two was split into two parts with the first batch dropping in early August 2025 and the second in early September. It stands to reason that Netflix will go with another split season — a trick to keep churn rates down.
Previously announced season three cast members include Eva Green (Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children), Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice), Chris Sarandon (Dog Day Afternoon), Noah Taylor (Game of Thrones), Oscar Morgan (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) and Kennedy Moyer (Task). And of course, the main Addamses return: Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams and Luis Guzmán as Gomez Addams.
The Wednesday gang also includes Emma Myers (Enid Sinclair), Hunter Doohan (Tyler Galpin), Joy Sunday (Bianca Barclay), Moosa Mostafa (Eugene Ottinger), Georgie Farmer (Ajax Petropolus), Isaac Ordonez (Pugsley Addams), Billie Piper (Isadora Capri), Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo (Sheriff Ritchie Santiago), Victor Dorobantu (Thing), Evie Templeton (Agnes DeMille), Joanna Lumley (Grandmama Hester Frump) and Fred Armisen (Uncle Fester).
The first season of Wednesday was an absolute phenomenon and is still the most-watched English-language series of all time on Netflix. (The first season of Squid Game, a Korean-language series, is the only show or film on the streamer that’s reached further, faster.) Wednesday season two is currently fifth on Netflix’s all-time top 10 (English-language) series.
Wednesday, based on the Addams Family characters created by Charles Addams, is “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy,” the logline reads. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar created and showrun the MGM Television series directed and executive produced by Tim Burton.
