Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.
For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider’s news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan’s work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Netflix has just wrapped the third season of Wednesday, with production on the show now officially at an end, but there might be more to it than that, after a member of **Jenna Ortega**‘s team’s innocuous message marking the end of the shoot set conspiracy theories ablaze about the end of the series itself.
Jenny Ayumi, Ortega’s longtime stunt double on Wednesday, posted a pair of Instagram Stories following the completion of Season 3 that appeared to suggest her time on the Netflix phenomenon had come to an end. The first contained a particularly eyebrow-raising message:
A 5 year chapter finally comes to a close 🎬🖤”
Ayumi then shared a photograph from the show’s original production in Romania, writing:
“A little throwback to where it all began 5 years ago in Romania 🥹🖤”
Notably, that first Instagram story has now been deleted. Netflix has not officially announced that Wednesday Season 3 will be the show’s final season, and so her comments therefore shouldn’t be treated as confirmation of a cancellation or planned ending. It could be the case that she’s gotten the wrong end of the stick, or it could be the case that the “Netflix snipers” got in touch to let her know it shouldn’t be announced like that, but either way, deleting the message suddenly makes Things look more suspicious.
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Season 3 will significantly expand the Addams family side of the series, with Eva Green (Penny Dreadful) joining as Morticia’s long-missing sister, Ophelia. Season 2 revealed that Ophelia was secretly imprisoned at Grandmama Hester’s mansion, where she had written the extremely reassuring message “Wednesday Must Die” on the wall. Netflix has confirmed that her return will become a major driver of the new season.
Ortega returns alongside Emma Myers (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder) as Enid Sinclair, Hunter Doohan (Your Honor) as Tyler Galpin, Joy Sunday (Dear White People) as Bianca Barclay, Isaac Ordonez (A Wrinkle in Time) as Pugsley Addams, Billie Piper (Doctor Who) as Isadora Capri, and Victor Dorobantu as Thing.
The expanded ensemble also includes Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago) as Morticia, Luis Guzmán (Boogie Nights) as Gomez, Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) as Grandmama Hester, and Fred Armisen (Portlandia) as Uncle Fester. New additions include Winona Ryder (Stranger Things), Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), Chris Sarandon (The Princess Bride), and Andrew McCarthy (Pretty in Pink).
Wednesday Season 3 has officially wrapped production and will premiere on Netflix in 2027.
