The official announcement came on July 23, 2025—two weeks ahead of Season 2’s debut. This strategic timing ensured fans knew more content was coming. Netflix called the gothic series a “dark delight” for audiences worldwide.
“It’s been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe—one deadpan quip at a time.”
Why the Long Wait Until 2027?
Wednesday needs significant time for production and post-production work. The writers’ room opened in October 2025 to develop scripts. Filming won’t begin until Spring 2026 in Ireland.
Production typically lasts nine months, followed by another 12-14 months of editing and visual effects. The early renewal protects Jenna Ortega’s availability through 2026-2027. She abandoned Scream VII due to Wednesday conflicts.
The 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes delayed many shows. Netflix learned that Wednesday requires meticulous craftsmanship. Fewer episodes means more quality time per installment.
