WednesdayNetflix is director Tim Burton's chance to finally play in the AddamsFamily universe, and he's bringing all his kooky style to the show. “It's not a remake. It's an eight-hour Tim Burton movie. That was the ambition of the show.”
New series Wednesday plays out like an eight-hour-long Tim Burton movie, according to co-creator and writer Miles Millar. Wednesday is a Netflix adaptation of The Addams Family that focuses on young pessimist Wednesday Addams as she is a student attending Nevermore Academy. Jenna Ortega stars as the titular character, alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams and Luis Guzman as Gomez.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Millar co-created Wednesday with Al Gough and Burton himself. As one of the go-to directors and producers for fantasy projects that are as “kooky” as the Addams family themselves, it is no surprise that Burton lept in to take on a modern remake of The Addams Family with Wednesday. Burton’s role in Wednesday comes after a decades-long relationship with The Addams Family universe.
“Tim was very clear. It's not a remake. It's an eight-hour Tim Burton movie. That was the ambition of the show.” What We Can Expect From Tim Burton's Wednesday Addams Show Millar’s report of “the ambition of the show” could be great news for Wednesday. Not only will Wednesday be different from other Addams Family adaptations by focusing on the daughter character, but, if this description retains its accuracy, the series will be filtered through the imagination of a visionary mind in the realm of fantasy and fantasy-horror.
Wednesday’s originality could be another great sign for the success of the show. Wednesday has already done an exemplary job with its marketing campaign, releasing a statement of Wednesday giving some “advice” to Emmy nominees and releasing early footage to build the hype. Even though it is still a month out from release, Wednesday has already been in talks for season 2.
