Jenna Ortega's Wednesday is returning for a third season but not every cast member is confirmed to reprise their role. Wednesday, which premiered in November 2022, is based on the character originally introduced in The Addams Family cartoons. The concept later was adapted into a TV series, several feature films and a live musical adaption. Christina Ricci previously played Wednesday Addams in 1991's The Addams Family and its subsequent sequel, Addams Family Values, before joining the Netflix series in a new role.
