History Buff Compares Wednesday Season 3 Production Delays to the 15-Year Wait for The Divine Comedy's Final Chapters
A viral social media thread is drawing parallels between the frustrating production delays for Wednesday Season 3 and the infamous, centuries-long wait for the final section of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy. As fans of the Netflix series—which has officially been renewed for a third season—wait for updates on shooting schedules, the post highlights how creative masterpieces often face unexpected, prolonged pauses. The comparison notes that Dante’s Paradiso, the final third of his work, was similarly delayed due to political exile and manuscript revisions, with the full text not being widely available until 1320, a full decade after the first part's debut. The thread argues that while Wednesday Season 3 is not yet at that level of historical lag, the pattern of high-stakes, perfectionist-driven holdups is a classic artistic trope, making the wait for Jenna Ortega's return as the psychic sleuth feel like a modern-day literary saga.
