Jenna Ortega shifts Wednesday, Season 3 toward Paris

Netflix has started pulling back the curtain on wednesday, season 3, and the biggest change is geographic: Paris is set to become a significant location while Nevermore Academy no longer looks like the series’ main backdrop. Jenna Ortega remains the face of the show, but the imagery points to a wider route for Wednesday Addams after two seasons anchored at school.

Paris and the Eiffel Tower

Promotional material showing Wednesday and Thing in front of the Eiffel Tower is the clearest signal yet that the new season will spend substantial time outside Nevermore. That shift matters because the first two seasons made the academy the heart of the series, and moving the story to Paris pushes the property farther from the campus formula that defined it after its 2022 debut.

Nevermore’s 2022 hold

Wednesday debuted in 2022 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most successful original series, with Ortega’s portrayal of Wednesday Addams helping turn it into a global phenomenon. The Season 2 finale already moved the story beyond school grounds by sending Wednesday and Uncle Fester on a mission, so the Paris imagery reads less like a detour than the next step in a broader reset.

Dublin and the cast change

Production is taking place near Dublin, adding another layer to the show’s international shift even as Paris emerges in the marketing. At least one notable cast member is officially gone, which makes the change more than a simple location swap: the series is entering Season 3 with a different footprint, a different base, and a setup that no longer depends on the same old academy backdrop.

For viewers, the practical takeaway is simple: Wednesday is not staying locked inside Nevermore’s walls. Netflix is using Season 3 to expand the world around Ortega’s character, and the Paris tease suggests the show is leaning into scale rather than repeating the first two seasons’ school-bound structure.
