Season 3 of Netflix’s “The Movies That Made Us” Will Spotlight ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ and ‘Friday the 13th’

The first two seasons of Netflix’s mini-doc series “The Movies That Made Us” went behind the scenes of classics including Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Home Alone, Ghostbusters, and Die Hard, and we’ve learned today that the upcoming third season is going to be a horror-heavy offering that’ll arrive on Netflix just in time for the Halloween season.

Season 3 premieres on October 12, and the films being covered include A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Aliens, RoboCop and Coming to America!

The idea behind the series is to tell untold stories from the movies we all know and love, so here’s hoping they’ve uncovered new tidbits from these horror classics. Then again, with each of these franchises already getting extensive documentary spotlights of their own in the past, it’s hard to imagine that there’s anything more for the diehard horror fan to learn at this point.

You can watch the trailer for Season 3 over on Netflix right now!

Thandiwe Newton Joins the Cast of “Wednesday” Season 2

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.

Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.

Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…

“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.

We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
