Wednesday has been renewed for a third season

In a joint statement, showrunners Alfred Cough and Miles Millar said: "It's been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe - one deadpan quip at a time. "We're beyond thrilled she'll be returning to stalk the halls of Nevermore in Season 3.

"This time, she'll unearth more of the school's sinister secrets - and descend even deeper into the Addams family crypt. Or, as Wednesday would say: 'Nothing brings a family together like a good exhumation.' "

In a post on the official Wednesday Addams X account, the Netflix team confirmed the news.

They wrote: "Season 2 awakens in two weeks. Season 3 is the next omen, already in motion, already inevitable."

Jenna returns alongside a cast that also includes the likes of Gwendoline Christie as Nevermore Academy's shapeshifting principle, while Emma Myers stars as Wednesday's werewolf roommate Enid.

When it comes to the future of Wednesday and further seasons, producer Tim Burton has insisted nothing is set in stone.

During a joint interview with Jenna, he told the Hollywood Reporter: "I don't think that way.

"You're talking to two of the worst people to ask that question."

Alfred and Miles would like to continue Wednesday's story to the end of her time at Nevermore, which would be seven seasons.

There is also potential for a spinoff series, which the team are exploring, although details are being kept under wraps.

Alfred told THR: "It's something we're definitely noodling; there are other characters we can look at."

Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria teased: "There's a lot to explore in the Addams Family."
