Netflix Pushes 'Wednesday' and More Series Return to 2027
The second season premiered in fall 2025.
Summary
- Wednesday have officially been pushed to 2027
- Next year will focus on franchise finales and returns, featuring the final seasons of Outer Banks and The Witcher, plus new chapters of Bridgerton, One Piece, and Beef
Netflix has officially confirmed that big hitters Wednesday starring Jenna Oretga, will skip the 2026 entirely, pushing its returns to 2027. The move highlights a strategic split in the streamer’s production cycle, that sees popular shows like The Diplomat and The Night Agent entering into an annual release pattern and other blockbusters are settling into a slower rhythm.
Released on September 3, 2025, the second season of Wednesday welcomed new cast members Lady Gaga and Steve Buscemi. The series became an awards magnet following its explosive Netflix debut in 2022, which garnered four Emmy awards. In the second season, Wednesday Addams returns to Nevermore to face off against a new tormentor and prevent Enid’s death.
Despite the delays, the 2026 slate remains stacked with major franchise moments for Netflix. Subscribers could expect to watch the final seasons of Outer Banks and The Witcher, alongside the highly anticipated returns of Bridgerton, the live-action One Piece, and A24’s Beef. This rearranging sets the stage for series like Wednesday to refocus the world on their premiere upon their 2027 comeback.
