“Wicked City” Eyes Season 4 Renewal: Coven Prepares for Next Chapter on ALLBLK

Atlanta, GA – The immensely popular supernatural drama Wicked City, which has held a strong presence on the streaming platform ALLBLK, is reportedly being set up for a fourth season — a next-chapter that promises to raise the stakes even higher for its coven of Black witches.


Created by writers/co-creators Kristin Iris Johnson and Serena M. Lee, Wicked City debuted in December 2022 and chronicles a modern urban coven of witches in Atlanta as they navigate magical powers, dark secrets and formidable enemies. AMC Networks+2Wikipedia+2Season 2 launched in October 2023 and Season 3 followed in October 2024. Pressparty+1



What we know so far

While ALLBLK has publicly confirmed renewal for Season 3, official word on a Season 4 has yet to be verified by the platform or creators. Still, several industry signals suggest the door is opening:

  • The service has renewed Wicked City previously, citing its strong viewership and positive responses. UrbanBridgez+1

  • The Season 3 finale event in Los Angeles included comments by the co-creators that “we now have three seasons” and hinted at future development. Los Angeles Sentinel

  • Sources familiar with production note that the narrative arc in Season 3 leaves enough open-ended threads for the coven to embark on a new chapter — setting up a logical path into Season 4.


What could Season 4 bring?

Industry watchers and fans alike are speculating on the next move for the witches of “Wicked City”. Possible directions include:

  • Exploring the aftermath of Season 3’s major confrontations: new enemies, deeper spiritual threats, and more intense power dynamics among the coven.

  • Introducing new characters or supernatural forces — perhaps linking to untapped myths or expanding the world beyond Atlanta.

  • Delving further into character-driven storylines: relationships, betrayals, alliances and the moral toll of wielding power.

  • Elevated production values and more ambitious scope: given the show’s steady growth, Season 4 could push into longer episodes or higher budgets.



Why It Matters

Wicked City holds a distinctive place in the streaming landscape:

  • It centers Black female-led supernatural storytelling — a voice that has been historically under-represented in the genre. The co-creators have spoken about wanting to “see the type of show we always wanted to see”. Los Angeles Sentinel

  • For ALLBLK (a platform committed to “stream where you’re celebrated”), Wicked City has become a flagship original that helps differentiate the service in a crowded streaming market.

  • Its mix of fantasy, drama and urban realism appeals to viewers looking for something beyond standard genre fare.


Challenges and questions ahead

Despite strong momentum, a Season 4 would face some questions:

  • Will budget and production timelines keep pace with increasing ambitions?

  • How will the writers avoid stalling the story or repeating themes from past seasons? A fourth season can either rejuvenate or stagnate a show if not handled carefully.

  • Will the cast and creative team remain intact, given the demands of ongoing production and potential for cast turnover?


What’s next & release prospects

While no official renewal announcement is on record yet, insiders suggest a decision could drop in the coming months. Should Season 4 be green-lit, a premiere sometime in the fall of 2025 or early 2026 seems plausible, following the show’s October release pattern. Streaming platforms typically target Q4 releases for high-visibility originals.

For now, fans can revisit Seasons 1-3 on ALLBLK and keep an eye on announcements from the platform and creators. The witches of Wicked City may soon be returning — and with them, a deeper dive into dark magic, sisterhood, and the shadows that lie beyond.
