Netflix announced today that Wednesday has been renewed for a third season. The news comes ahead of the show's sophomore debut on August 6. The move is a no-brainer for the streamer, as the show currently holds the record for Netflix's most-popular English language series of all time with 252.1 million views in 91 days.

"It's been a dark delight to watch Wednesday cast her spell over audiences across the globe - one deadpan quip at a time," said creators/writers/showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar in a statement. "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.'"

"The undeniable impact of Wednesday resonated immediately with fans worldwide, driving it to the top of our charts as our most popular English language TV show, and sparking cultural trends," added Bela Bajaria, Netflix Chief Content Officer. "We are so proud of Al Gough, Miles Millar, Tim Burton, Jenna Ortega, and the entire Wednesday cast and crew for everything they've accomplished. On the heels of its highly anticipated season two return, we are thrilled to renew the iconic series for a third and to deliver more of what the fans love."

The show follows the life of teenager Wednesday Addams, a student at Nevermore Academy, where she is honing her emerging psychic ability. While doing her best to navigate new and tangled relationships at school, she is also trying to thwart a monstrous killing spree terrorizing the local town as well as solve the murder mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago.
