Will there be a "Wednesday" Season 3? Everything we know about the Netflix series' future (and how Aunt Ophelia factors in)

Bernard Walsh/Netflix Wednesdaywas renewed for a third season in August 2025. Season 3 will dig deeper into the Addams family's lineage, with long-lost Aunt Ophelia playing a key role. All eight episodes ofWednesdayseason 2 are now streaming. Wednesdayseason 2 is now streaming in full onNetflix, helping to usher in the long shadows of spooky season. The season's first four episodes arrived back in August, with its final four debuting on Sept. 3. Picking up where part 1 left off, part 2 sees Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) reunite with the late Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) in the spirit world, watch best pal Enid (Emma Myers) embrace her status as an alpha werewolf, and learn all about the Addams family's long, twisted history — and how it intersects with the shady happenings at Willow Hill. The season is riddled with loose threads that tease more creepy, kooky adventures to come. So, will there be a third season ofWednesday? What will it be about? Here's what we know so far. Helen Sloan/Netflix Yes, NetflixrenewedWednesdayfor a third seasonin August 2025, just ahead of its season 2 premiere. "Our goal for Season 3 is the same as it is for every season: to make it the best season ofWednesdaywe possibly can," said co-creator and co-showrunner Alfred Gough. "We want to continue digging deeper into our characters while expanding the world of Nevermore andWednesday." Miles Millar, the show's other creator and showrunner, added, "We will be seeing more Addams family members and learning more family secrets in season 3." Helen Sloan/Netflix As of this writing, there's no official plot synopsis for Wednesday season 3, but Gough and Millar have spoken extensively with Netflix'sTudumabout what fans can expect on the next go-around. One storyline that will be at the forefront of season 3 centers on Wednesday'sAunt Ophelia, who's been spoken about in hushed whispers throughout season 2. Ophelia, we learn, possessed similar psychic powers to Wednesday's, but pushed them too far and was thus sent to Willow Hill. Ophelia eventually left the psychiatric facility, but has been missing ever since. Well, in the final moments of season 2 part 2's finale, we see the flower-crowned Ophelia locked in Grandmama Hester's (Joanna Lumley) house. There, she's written on the wall: "Wednesday must die." Speaking with Tudum, Gough called the tease "a driver into season 3." Millar added that the question of how Ophelia fits "into the Addams family and what [she will] bring" is a major focus of next season. After all, Ophelia and Mortificia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) also have a complex relationship. "Ophelia has been gone a long time," said Millar. "It's left a hole in Morticia's life, and a lot of unanswered questions. The re-emergence of Ophelia is going to hit this family like a bomb." But there will be several other stories at play, such as how Enid will navigate her fate as an alpha werewolf. "Enid is going to be stuck as a werewolf, having some crazy adventures up in Canada. But she's going on a journey to find how to turn back into a human," Myers told Tudum. "Wolf-Enid probably expects Wednesday to come find and help her — or, at least, I imagine she hopes for it." Season 3 also offers a potential new start for Tyler (Hunter Doohan), who now has the opportunity to live as a Hyde without a master. "Imagine if we got to see Tyler really smile in season 3 — not a fake barista smile, not an evil grin," Doohan told Tudum. "It'll be the first time for the audience — and for Tyler himself — to meet the real Tyler. He's got a lot of making up to do. And a lot to reconcile with. So I don't know it's going to be an easy journey." And, with Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi) out of the picture after being exposed as a conman (and, you know, crushed by a chandelier), Nevermore is going to need a new principal. "You will be very surprised," Gough said of the school's new leader. Helen Sloan/Netflix In an interview withCollider, Gough and Millar confirmed thatWednesdayseason 3, like seasons 1 and 2, will consist of eight episodes. Netflix Netflix has yet to set a release date forWednesdayseason 3, but Gough and Millar told Collider that the season 3 writers' room is in full swing and that they hope to begin filming the episodes later this year. Ideally, the pair said, season 3 would premiere sometime in 2027. Helen Sloan/Netflix The first two seasons ofWednesdayarenow streaming on Netflix.

Rosie O'Donnell References Epstein in Renewed Row With Trump

Rosie O'Donnell has responded to her long-time sparring partner President Donald Trump's renewed threat to revoke her U.S. citizenship. Credit - O'Donnell: Michael Tran—Getty Images, Trump: Jim Watson—Getty Images Comedian Rosie O'Donnell has responded toPresident Donald Trump's renewed threatto revoke her U.S. citizenship and his estimation that she is "incapable" of being a "great American." In Trump's late-night threat, shared via his Truth Social platform, heposted a distorted imageof the comedian and said: "We are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O'Donnell's Citizenship." Taking to Instagram, O'Donnell posted a screenshot of the threat and addressed her long-time sparring partner directly,asking of Trump: "Banishing me again?" The comedian went on to reference the ongoing push for the Trump Administration to release all the files related to convicted late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "I'm the distraction. Epstein survivors are the reckoning and your gold lamé throne is melting," she said. O'Donnell's reference to Epstein came hours after several of the sex offender's victimsgathered on Capitol Hillon Wednesday to implore Congress to release the files."It's not okay for us to be silenced," said Marina Lacerda, one of the women who says she was abused by Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently incarcerated. Trump responded to the continued interest in the case, calling it a "Democrat hoax that never ends," while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office later in the day. "They're trying to get people to talk about something that is totally irrelevant to the success that we've had as a nation since I've been President," he insisted. The House Oversight Committeereleasedmore than 30,000 pages of documents relating to Epstein on Tuesday. However, the Committee's top Democrat, Rep. Robert Garcia of California, said that only 3% of the files released contained new information. Read More:Rosie O'Donnell Responds to Trump's Threat to Revoke Her U.S. Citizenship This isn't the first time O'Donnell, who moved to Ireland after Trump's re-election, has responded to the President's threat to strip her U.S. citizenship, nor is it the first time she has referenced Epstein when doing so. When Trump called her a "threat to humanity" and threatened her citizenship in July, O'Donnell rebuked the idea and publiclyposted a picture of Trump and Epstein together. "I'm everything you fear. A loud woman, a queer woman, a mother who tells the truth, an American who got out of the country before you set it ablaze. You are everything that is wrong with America—and I'm everything you hate about what's still right with it," said O'Donnell, alongside the image. The timing of O'Donnell's July response came amid renewed interest in Trump's former relationship with Epstein. Trump's connection to Epsteindates back decades. In an interview withNew Yorkmagazinein 2002, he said that Epstein was "a lot of fun to be with." "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side," Trump told the reporter. In July 2019, NBC News' TODAY releasedvideo footagebelieved to be from 1992, which showed Trump welcoming Epstein to his Mar-a-Lago estate. AfterEpstein's 2019 arreston federal sex trafficking charges, Trump distanced himself. Speaking in the Oval Office in 2019,Trump said: "I had a falling out with him [Epstein]. I haven't spoken to him in 15 years. I was not a fan of his, that I can tell you." Trump alsotold reporters he had "never" been to the so-called "Epstein island," and urged them instead to query if former President Bill Clinton had. "The question you have to ask is, did Bill Clinton go to the island? Because Epstein had an island. That was not a good place, as I understand it, and I was never there." Trump said. "So you have to ask, did Bill Clinton go to the island? That's the question. If you find that out, you're going to know a lot." Clinton, who has acknowledged being a former associate of Epstein but has vehemently denied knowledge of his crimes,denied visiting the island. At the height of Trump's feud with his one-time ally and donor Elon Musk, his relationship to Epstein came into focus once more. In June,Musk—in a since-deleted social media post—alleged that Trump is listed in the files related to the late financier and alleged sex trafficker. "That is the real reason they have not been made public,"Musk said. He did not provide evidence pertaining to this. Read More:Amid Campaign, Trump Kept Epstein Issue at Arm's Length. His Allies Did Not Meanwhile, public sparring sessions between Trump and O'Donnell date back to the early 2000s, when they were both well-known New York figures. O'DonnellcriticizedTrump in 2006 during an episode of the round-table talk showThe View,of which she was a panelist. Trump lashed out in a celebrity-edition episode ofThe Apprenticeat a boardroom meeting, during which hecalled O'Donnell "disgusting"multiple times. Trump also brought up the comedian during his 2016 presidential campaign. In a debate with his opponent, Hillary Clinton,he said:"Rosie O'Donnell—I said very tough things to her, and I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her." O'Donnellrespondedat the time, saying Trump "will never be President." In an interview with Ireland's RTÉ Radio 1 in July, O'Donnellreflectedon her long-standing feud with Trump and said she is "very proud to be opposed to every single thing he says and does and represents."

Soldiers doused with gas, set on fire during mission to destroy cocaine lab

Soldiers doused with gas, set on fire during mission to destroy cocaine lab

Two Colombian soldiers were seriously injured after being doused with gasoline and set on fire when an anti-drug operation was attacked in southeasternColombia, the army said Wednesday. The incident occurred during an operation to destroy acocainelaboratory in a rural area of the northern Putumayo department, which borders Ecuador. A riot took place during which a "group of civilians attacked the uniformed officers with fire to impede the procedure," the military said in a statement Wednesday. An officer and a soldier suffered severe burns and were receiving treatment in a hospital. Such attacks by civilians on security forces in remote, guerrilla-controlled areas have become increasingly frequent in Colombia. The Latin American country is grappling with its worst security crisis in a decade, fueled by criminal groups profiting from drug trafficking, extortion and illegal mining. The army vowed action against the Comandos de Frontera, a dissident faction that rejected the 2016 peace accord between the government and the FARC guerrilla group, accusing them of orchestrating the attack and "coercing" the civilian population in the area. Defense Minister Pedro Sanchez said in apost on social mediathat the perpetrators "are neither peasants nor communities claiming their rights." "They are criminals and narcos who attempted to murder our soldiers." Sanchez posted video of one oft the victims being transported by helicopter to receive medical care.

Orgullosamente Colombiano (@PedroSanchezCol)September 4, 2025 The Border Command group, which operates in both Colombia and Ecuador, is currently in peace negotiations with leftist President Gustavo Petro's government, but with little progress. Colombian prosecutors arrested Andres Rojas, the group's leader who is also known as Arana, during a meeting with government representatives in February. He faces charges related to recent cocaine shipments to the United States and his extradition is being sought. Ecuadoran authorities blamed the group for killing 11 soldiers in an attack during an operation against illegal mining in May. In July, amilitary dog in Colombiawas wounded after detecting a bomb planted by guerrilla fighters that exploded during a military operation.  The Colombian military blamed the explosion on ELN, a group of roughly 6,000 fighters that is fighting Colombia's government. Peace talks with the group — which the U.S. hasdesignatedas a foreign terrorist organization — were suspended in January, when theELN was blamedfor dozens of deaths in raids near the border with Venezuela. The dog's injury was announced just two days after abomb strapped to a donkeyexploded in the same area, killing one soldier and wounding two others.

Powerful category 4 hurricane Kiko spins toward Hawaii. Is landfall in the forecast?

Powerful category 4 hurricane Kiko spins toward Hawaii. Is landfall in the forecast?

Hurricane Kiko, along with Hurricane Lorena, continues to spin in the Pacific Ocean. Kiko has strengthened into a major storm as it barrels toward Hawaii. It's not yet clear exactly what impact Kiko could have on the Hawaiian Islands, but forecasters said precipitation is expected to increase as the hurricane nears. There's a chance for heavy rainfall, flash flooding and increasingly dangerous surf conditions, according to the National Weather Service. Hurricane Kiko could pass near Hawaii or make a direct hit to land, according to AccuWeather meteorologists. "People across Hawaii should be prepared for several inches of rain and gusty winds from Kiko next week," said Alex DaSilva, AccuWeather lead hurricane expert. "There is a possible scenario that Kiko could bring strong winds and little rain, which could increase the risk of wildfires." As of 5 a.m. ET on Sept. 4,the National Hurricane Center saidKiko is located about 1,720 miles east-southeast of Honolulu with maximum sustained winds near 145 mph with higher gusts, making it a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Forecasters said little change in strength is forecast for Kiko during the next day or so, followed by gradual weakening beginning Friday, Sept. 5 through the weekend. The NHC said Kiko is moving toward the west at around 8 mph, and this general motion is expected to continue through Thursday night, Sept. 4. A turn toward the west-northwest is expected on Sept. 5 with a gradual increase in forward speed expected over the weekend as Kiko approaches the Hawaiian Islands from the east. There are currently no watches or warnings in effect stemming from Kiko, according to the hurricane center, however AccuWeather reports impacts to Hawaii are expected to begin by the middle of next week. Residents and visitors to the islands should expect flooding downpours that may lead to mudslides and gusty winds that cause power outages and strong surf. "The storm is expected to lose wind intensity over the weekend. If Kiko continues advancing toward Hawaii, it could bring some wind and rain impacts to the islands next week," DaSilva said. Lorena, meanwhile, is expected to quickly weaken beginning Thursday, Sept. 4, but not before dumping several inches of rain across portions of the Baja California Sur, far southeast Baja California, and southwestern Sonora in Mexico, in addition to portions of Arizona and New Mexico through Saturday, Sept. 6, according to the hurricane center. More weather news:Is summer over? Fall 2025 weather forecast is here This forecast track shows the most likely path of the center of the storm. It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time. Illustrations include an array of forecast tools and models, and not all are created equal. The hurricane center uses only the top four or five highest-performing models to help make its forecasts. In the Atlantic, the hurricane center is keeping tabs on a tropical wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic, several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde islands. Forecasters said the showers and thunderstorms associated with this wave have started to consolidate and become slightly better organized, and that environmental conditions are conducive for gradual development of this system during the next several days. A tropical depression is likely to form late this week or this weekend, forecasters said in aSept. 4 advisory. The hurricane center said the system is likely to move faster toward the west or west-northwest afterwards and reach the waters east of the Lesser Antilles by the middle of next week, with forecasters giving the system an 80% chance of formation through the next seven days. Hurricanes are born in the tropics, above warm water. Clusters of thunderstorms can develop over the ocean when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees. If conditions are right, the clusters swirl into a storm known as a tropical wave or tropical depression. A tropical depression becomes a named tropical storm once its sustained wind speeds reach 39 mph. When its winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane. Delaying potentially lifesaving preparations could mean waiting until it's too late. "Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recommends. Develop an evacuation plan. If you are at risk from hurricanes, you need anevacuation plan. Now is the time to begin planning where you would go and how you would get there. Assemble disaster supplies. Whether you're evacuating or sheltering in place, you're going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for a possibly lengthy aftermath,NOAA said. Get an insurance checkup and document your possessions. Contact your insurance company or agent now and ask for aninsurance checkupto make sure you have enough insurance to repair or even replace your home and belongings. Remember, home and renters insurance don't cover flooding, so you'll need a separate policy for those. Flood insurance is available through your company, agent or theNational Flood Insurance Program. Act now, because flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period. Create a family communication plan. NOAA says you should take the time now to write down ahurricane planand share it with your family. Determine family meeting places and make sure to include an out-of-town location in case of evacuation. Strengthen your home. Now is the time to improve your home's ability to withstand hurricanes. Trim trees and install storm shutters, accordion shutters, and impact glass; seal outside wall openings. Gabe Hauari is a national trending news reporter at USA TODAY.

We've all been pronouncing Denzel Washington's name wrong this whole time

We've all been pronouncing Denzel Washington's name wrong this whole time

Bruce Glikas/WireImage Denzel Washingtonwasn't always known by the name that we've heard dropped in movies trailers and called out from Oscar podiums for decades. He broached the subject during an appearance Tuesday onJimmy Kimmel Live, after the host remarked that there are currently four NFL players named Denzel. David Lee/A24 "And this is how you know they were named after me. My name is not pronounced Děn-ZĚL," Washington said of the name the way moviegoers know it. He added, "My name is pronounced DĚN-zǝl," emphasizing the first syllable and pronouncing the second syllable so that it rhymed with "lull." Wait, what?! "I'm Denzel Jr.," the actor continued, pronouncing it the way it had been intended. "My father's Denzel Hayes Washington Sr. I'm Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. My mother would say, 'Denzel,' and we'd both show up." It was Washington's mother, the late Lennis Washington, who gave him the moniker as it is said today: "So she said, 'From now on, you're Denzel.' That's how it got pronounced Denzel." However you say his name, Washington, 70, has been one of Hollywood's top leading men for decades. TheHighest 2 Lowestactor revealed last month in a conversation with costar A$AP Rocky and director Spike Lee, that he's "tired of movies." Sign up forEntertainment Weekly's free daily newsletter to get breaking news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more. Washington quipped that he'd appeared in "too many" over his career. His first TV and movie credits date back to TV movies in the late '70s. Lee said his latest film, a reinterpretation of legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's 1963 crime proceduralHigh and Low, would probably behis final one with Washington. The two have previously collaborated on four other films, including 1990'sMo' Better Blues, 1992'sMalcolm X, 1998'sHe Got Game, and, in 2006,Inside Man. Washington has said he plans to retire after a few more titles, although he later clarified the statement to specify that he would still appear in movies that have "a level of interest for me." See the actor's full conversation with Kimmel above. The part about his name begins at about 7:37. Read the original article onEntertainment Weekly
