People have finally figured out the exact dates The Ultimatum season three was filmed

Vanessa had a hilarious Instagram post to mark the end of filming


The Ultimatum season three has already been a wild ride, but the timeline of the show is a bit confusing to understand. I mean, The Ultimatum is probably a terrible idea if you actually want to make your relationship work, and if you’re considering maybe you should consider couples’ therapy instead of going on a filmed reality TV show.

The Ultimatum takes six couples who are all at turning points in their relationship: Either marry or move on. The show tries to resolve this by separating the couples and making them live with someone new for eight weeks. It’s always chaos, and it rarely ever works, to be honest.

When was season three of The Ultimatum filmed?

Season three, like the last two seasons, followed the schedule from the first two seasons, meaning it took 11 months from day one until it was released on Netflix. The first five episodes of the show were released on 4th December 2024, which means the show probably began filming in January 2024.

It’s EXTREMELY iconic that Vanessa was posing with a literal bin when she would have been coming to the end of her experience. Like what does that tell us about how it ended?

Also on Vanessa’s Instagram was a huge time jump in two of her posts. Before Jan. 1, 2023, she posted very consistently and usually didn’t go more than a couple of weeks before posting again. However, after she did a New Year’s Day 2023 post, Vanessa didn’t post anything for around four months. That’s over eight weeks which means it’s very possible that Vanessa was legally unable to be active on her socials as per her Netflix contract. Vanessa’s partner, Dave, had the same time jump on his Instagram. The time jump is definitely giving some kind of contractual agreement.

The Ultimatum is available on Netflix now. For all the latest Netflix news, drops, quizzes and memes like The Holy Church of Netflix on Facebook.
