The overwhelming success of Wednesday on Netflix continues, and everything indicates that the streaming platform will not stop at just the series about the iconic gothic teenager, as it now seems very likely that there will be a spin-off about one of the most beloved characters of the Addams Family: Uncle Fester. But how true is this? We tell you everything we know so far.
Will there be a Wednesday spin-off about Uncle Fester?
So far, Netflix has not announced anything regarding this; however, the one who may have hinted at it is Fred Armisen, the actor who brings this quirky character to life. According to various media outlets, during an interview Armisen revealed that the platform is working on a spin-off about Fester, so it is very likely that we will soon see more on screen about Wednesday Addams’ “electrifying” uncle.

What will the spin-off about Uncle Fester be about?
Details about this possible spin-off are still very scarce, so there is currently no synopsis available. What is certain is that it will feature the madness and eccentricity that characterize this character. Will we see him during his student years at Nevermore Academy? Will he appear with more members of his family? What trouble will he get into this time? We will find out later.
When will the Wednesday spin-off about Uncle Fester premiere?
There is still no confirmed release date. For now, we just have to wait for Netflix to provide more details about this new chapter in the Addams story.
When does Wednesday Season 3 premiere?
In July, Netflix shared the news of the third season through a promotional image showing Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams. In front of her, Thing holds a crystal ball containing the number 3; however, the release date was not revealed.
Some international media report that the third season began filming at the end of last year, so if this is accurate and based on typical filming and production schedules, the new season could arrive on the streaming platform sometime in 2026 or early 2027.
What will Wednesday Season 3 be about?
According to co-creator Alfred Gough, the third season promises to go even further, delving deeper into the characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and uncovering more family secrets of the Addams.

There is currently no official synopsis. What is clear from the end of Season 2 is that Wednesday will embark on a new adventure with her Uncle Fester to find Enid, who, after becoming a werewolf and unable to return to her human form, fled to Canada.
The third season also promises to reveal the mystery of Ophelia, Morticia Addams’ missing sister (who is not as missing as previously thought). In the final scenes of Season 2, Ophelia is seen locked in a room inside her mother Hester’s house (nobody expected this!), raising many questions about why her own mother locked her up and whether Ophelia will be a villain or ally to Wednesday. So get ready! The new season comes with even more suspense.
