SHOCKING HOOK: Netflix isn’t stopping at Season 3 — a Wednesday spin-off is officially brewing, and it could change the Addams Family universe forever.
From creepy new characters to the darkly twisted world beyond Nevermore, here’s everything we know about the extra dose of Wednesday headed your way.
Wednesday
Netflix
It is no great surprise that Wednesday was not just renewed for season 3, but that happened way, way before season 2 ever aired. It’s one of Netflix’s most-viewed shows of all time, and even if season 2 (after a ridiculous three year delay) doesn’t match that, it’s still huge.
But fans may not realize that there’s more Wednesday coming besides season 3, which is supposed to start filming in the spring, and may actually get here in less than two years this time, barring any production issues.
There is a spin-off in the works, and you can roll the dice on which character you think it’s for. It’s an Addams, but it’s (drumroll) Uncle Fester! Played by Fred Armisen. This has been mumbled about for a while now, but in the wake of season 3 airing, we’re starting to hear more about it from Armisen himself.
“Yeah we’re working on it,” Armisen re-confirmed to Jimmy Fallon, “It’s fantastic, it’s amazing.” And here’s him talking to Deadline:
“It’s so fun to do. It feels very organic,” said Armisen. “That’s all I can really say about it as far as the anticipation of it all. I love getting to do it and to embody this character who’s existed for a long time. That’s the fun of it.”
Fester
Netflix
Given that Wednesday is clearly aimed at a younger crowd with Gen Z superstar Jenna Ortega leading it, I do wonder how things will go led by the 58 year-old Armisen in terrifying bald form. Don’t get me wrong, Fester is a fun character and has been across both seasons. His outside-the-school antics have been ridiculous. But I am certainly curious to see how that’s going to go. I would have thought that maybe a spin-off starring just the parents, separated from Wednesday plots, might have been a better call.
One open question is when this Fester spin-off may finally arrive, as it has been in the works since 2023. You might think the plan would be to release it during the break between Wednesday seasons so that Addams momentum can continue. That’s what we’ve seen with other shows like Reacher (spin-off Neagley), The Boys (spin-off Gen Z), The Walking Dead (spin-off Fear the Walking Dead) and House of the Dragon (spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms). So, this isn’t all that uncommon.
Again…Fester? Really? Armisen is great but we’ll see how this goes, and when we get more details on the project, which does not appear to be soon.
