The era of streaming has brought about the emergence of big streaming services such as Prime Video and AppleTV+, championing the creation of their own original shows like Alan Ritchson‘sReacher and Jason Momoa‘s Chief of War, respectively. Leading the charge is arguably the globe’s biggest streaming service, Netflix, which boasts an extremely large and extensive collection of movies, television shows, and documentaries. Over the years, the platform has been home to many celebrated television shows, including Stranger Things, Bridgerton, and Money Heist, with some of them making their way onto the streamer’s all-time list of most popular shows.
However, that list would not be complete without mentioning the mega sensation that is Wednesday. The Netflix title debuted in late 2022 and immediately became a massive hit globally. The show’s rapid rise in popularity and success ensured it scored a quick Season 2 renewal. Despite a somewhat disappointing and lengthy wait between seasons, Season 2 ultimately premiered in mid-2025 and soon after, secured the requisite green light for a third season. The Jenna Ortega-led The Addams Family offshoot has been well received in many quarters, and as such, it is no surprise that excitement was sky-high when series star Hunter Doohan confirmed in January that production had begun for Season 3.
The Season 2 finale of Wednesday left plenty of exciting threads to pick up for Season 3 as Tyler’s (Doohan) return was hinted at, the quest to find Enid (Emma Myers) was left in the air, and the introduction of another Addams relative, Aunt Ophelia (now played by Eva Green), who wrote ominously on the walls, “Wednesday Must Die.” While it all sounds pretty exciting, it seems like our wait for Season 3 is set to lengthen just a little bit. According to The Sun, filming for Wednesday Season 3 was reportedly halted in Dublin, Ireland, when Green suffered an injury to her leg earlier this month while on set. The incident forced production to be rearranged in order to accommodate Green’s treatment in the hospital and subsequent recovery. “This was really nasty. Eva sustained an injury and was clearly in pain, and producers were taking no chances,” a source told the publication, adding, “Medics were called, and Eva went to hospital. She underwent treatment and is now recovering well.”
Collider Exclusive · Horror Survival Quiz Which Horror Villain Do You Have the Best Chance of Surviving? Jason Voorhees · Michael Myers · Freddy Krueger · Pennywise · Chucky
Five killers. Five completely different ways to die — if you’re not smart enough, fast enough, or self-aware enough to avoid it. Only one of them is the villain your particular set of instincts gives you a fighting chance against. Eight questions will figure out which one.
🏕️Jason
🔪Michael
💤Freddy
🎈Pennywise
🪆Chucky
01
Something feels wrong. You can’t explain it — you just know. What do you do? First instincts are the difference between the survivor and the first act casualty.
02
Where are you most likely to find yourself when things go wrong? Setting is everything in horror. Where you are determines which rules apply.
03
What is your most reliable survival asset? Every survivor has a quality the villain didn’t account for. What’s yours?
04
What kind of fear is hardest for you to fight through? Knowing your weakness is the first step to not dying because of it.
05
You’re with a group when things start going wrong. What’s your role? Horror movies are brutally clear about who survives group situations and who doesn’t.
06
What’s the horror movie mistake you’re most likely to make? Honest self-assessment is a survival skill. Denial is not.
07
What’s your best weapon against something that can’t be stopped by conventional means? Every horror villain has a weakness. The survivors are always the ones who find it.
08
It’s the final scene. You’re the last one standing. How did you make it? The final survivor always has a reason. What’s yours?
Your Survival Odds Have Been Calculated Your Best Chance Is Against…
Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.
Camp Crystal Lake · Friday the 13th
Jason Voorhees
Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.
He moves in straight lines toward his target. He doesn’t strategise, doesn’t adapt, doesn’t outsmart. He simply pursues.
Your ability to keep moving, use the environment, and resist the panic that freezes most victims gives you a genuine edge.
The Crystal Lake survivors were always the ones who stopped running in circles and started thinking about terrain, water, and distance.
You think like that. Which means Jason, for all his indestructibility, would face someone who simply refused to be where he expected.
Haddonfield, Illinois · Halloween
Michael Myers
Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.
But you are paying attention. You notice the shape in the window, the car parked slightly wrong, the silence where there should be sound.
Michael’s power lies in the invisibility of ordinary suburbia — the fact that nothing ever looks wrong until it already is.
Your spatial awareness and instinct to map every room, every exit, and every shadow before you need them is precisely the quality Laurie Strode had.
You are not a victim waiting to happen. You are someone who already suspects something is wrong — and acts on it.
Elm Street · A Nightmare on Elm Street
Freddy Krueger
Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.
You are harder to destabilise than most. You’ve faced uncomfortable truths about yourself and you haven’t looked away.
The survivors on Elm Street were always the ones who understood what was happening and chose to face it rather than flee from it.
Freddy’s greatest weakness is that his power evaporates in the presence of someone who refuses to give him the fear he feeds on.
Your psychological resilience — the ability to stay grounded when reality itself becomes unreliable — is exactly the quality that keeps you alive here.
Derry, Maine · It
Pennywise
Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.
The Losers Club didn’t survive because they were braver than everyone else. They survived because they faced their fears together, and faced them honestly.
You ask the questions others avoid. You look directly at what frightens you rather than turning away.
That directness — the refusal to let fear fester in the dark — is Pennywise’s worst nightmare.
It chose the wrong target when it chose you. You are exactly the kind of person whose fear tastes like nothing at all.
Chicago · Child’s Play
Chucky
Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.
You don’t have that gap. You take threats seriously regardless of how they present — and you never make the mistake of underestimating something because of its size or appearance.
Chucky relies on surprise, on the delay between recognition and response. You close that delay faster than almost anyone.
Your instinct to treat every unfamiliar thing with appropriate scepticism — rather than dismissing it because it seems absurd — is the exact quality that keeps you breathing.
Against Chucky, not laughing is already winning. You are very good at not laughing.
How Long Before We Potentially See ‘Wednesday’ Season 3?
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are both credited as Wednesday co-creators and showrunners, even as the show remains one of Netflix’s most successful. Coming in third place, Wednesday falls just behind Squid Game and Stranger Things, for Netflix’s most-viewed shows of all time. Unfortunately, the show also has a lengthy waiting period between seasons, just like the aforementioned titles. Fans would hope that the almost three-year wait between the Season 1 finale and the Season 2 premiere would not repeat itself in future seasons. Gough and Millar, ahead of the Season 2 premiere last year, sought to stay optimistic regarding future wait times, with Millar offering a potential timeline between seasons, saying, “We’re shooting eight episodes in nine months, and the level of visual effects and production is much higher. So, I mean, 18 months would be the bare minimum we can get the show back up, just from production to air.”
The first two seasons of Wednesday are currently streaming on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for updates.
