‘Wednesday’ Season 3 Production Halted Following Eva Green’s Injury!!

The era of streaming has brought about the emergence of big streaming services such as Prime Video and Apple TV, championing the creation of their own original shows like Alan Ritchson‘s Reacher 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.”

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.”
