Wednesday Season 2 climaxed in open-ended fashion, and it looks like Season 3 will do something very different with the Addams Family.
Wednesday Season 2 was split in half by Netflix, and while Part 1 was something of a disappointment, Part 2 is a vast improvement.
Admittedly, the Lady Gaga appearance was little more than a cameo, but Steve Buscemi’s Principal Dort got a great arc, while the central mystery managed to tie together Slurp the zombie, missing Willow Hill patient 1938, and the return of Tyler Galpin. Even Thing got his own mini-story.

Season 3 has already been announced, and the ending of Season 2 sets that story up in intriguing fashion. Warning: spoilers ahead!
Wednesday Season 3 will leave Nevermore
Netflix
Seasons 1 and 2 of Wednesday have played a little like the Harry Potter books/movies, with each focusing on strange stories unfolding over the course of a school year.
Wednesday has left the confines of the Nevermore Academy for local events, trips to Jericho, and a recent camping trip that harked back to Addams Family Values. But for the most part, key action happens within the academy walls.

That’s going to change in Season 3, however, thanks to Enid’s plight at the end of Season 2. During Part 2, Enid realizes she’s an Alpha, which means that should she turn into a werewolf during full moon, the character will stay that way.
Enid did everything in her power to avoid that fate, but when Wednesday is buried alive, she springs into action, and turns in the moonlight to speedily dig her up. Enid manages to save Wednesday’s life, but potentially condemns herself to a life in fur.

At the end of the final episode, Agnes reveals that wolf Enid has been caught on a wildlife camera, heading north just five miles from the Canadian border, and we get a brief glimpse of the creature sheltering from the rain in a forest.

Wednesday won’t leave her in such a state, so she teams up with Uncle Fester, and they speed in Enid’s direction, meaning Season 3 will break free from Nevermore, and potentially kick off in a foreign land.

The other two sub-plots launched at the end of Season 2 involve Tyler joining a support group for Hydes, and Hester Frump keeping Aunt Ophelia in her basement, both of which should also progress outside of the Nevermore confines.
As for what else to expect, co-creator and co-showrunner Alfred Gough says: “Our goal for Season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season of Wednesday we possibly can. We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore and Wednesday.”
