Netflix's *Mercredi* Renewed for Third Season with Major Production Updates

In an exciting announcement for fans, Netflix's hit series *Mercredi* has been officially renewed for a third season, even before the launch of its second season, confirming the platform's faith in the show’s bright future. The upcoming second season is set to premiere in two parts on August 6 and September 3, 2025, both highly anticipated by the audience. The production for the second season took place in Ireland between July and November 2024, marking it as the largest series production ever in the country.

Jenna Ortega, who portrays Wednesday Addams, will return not only as a leading actress but also as an executive producer for the season. A notable departure from the previous seasons, the new season will center more on horror themes, moving away from romantic storylines that characterized the earlier episodes. The show aims for an eerie atmosphere with plotlines involving ominous visions about Enid’s potential demise and other supernatural threats.

The cast will welcome new faces including Steve Buscemi, Thandiwe Newton, Joanna Lumley, and even a cameo from Lady Gaga, enriching the ensemble while retaining fan favorites such as Morticia, Gomez, Pugsley, and Enid. The third season's structure is laid out with eight episodes, which the creators promise will evoke a cinematic experience for viewers.

Netflix's decision to renew *Mercredi* early showcases their strategic aims to establish it as a flagship series, similar to the success of *Stranger Things*. Plans are already in place for a potential spin-off that would explore the broader Addams Family universe, indicating an ambition of extended storytelling. Filming for the much-anticipated third season is slated to begin in November 2025, potentially setting the stage for a total of seven seasons corresponding with Wednesday Addams's journey at Nevermore Academy, presenting an enticing long-term vision for the series.
