Tim Burton Developing ‘Addams Family’ Series, 'Wednesday' Starring Jenna Ortega

God I hope this is good

From that little bit we got of him, Fred Armisen is giving me Jackie Coogan vibes from the 60s series. I dig it.

he's not a bad pick by any means, but, the way the casting was hyped up (kept under wraps) I was expecting a more shocking reveal

there was a lot rumored/fan-cast of some big names being throw around

also, given the age of the some of the other cast members {cough}Guzmán{cough} oh excuse me... I thought they'd go older

Wednesday Show is an 8-Hour Tim Burton Movie, Says Writer

Still disappointed that Burton only directed 4’out of the 8 episodes. Since the show is very distinctly his vision, it’ll be weird having someone else ape his style for the other 4.

I imagine he was probably still a guiding hand for those four similar to The Nightmare Before Christmas since a lot of people don't realize he didn't direct that one either.

Lurch sighting!

Wednesday Creators Tease an Addams Family Universe on Netflix

Gough and Millar discussed Wednesday’s spinoff potential on the latest episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s TV’s Top 5 podcast. During the interview, they confirmed that a second season of the series is very much in the cards. However, they have also considered the possibility of delving into other characters’ backstories, especially since the full Addams Family only appears in two of the series’ eight episodes.

“We definitely talked about it, and we talked about it with Netflix,” said Gough. “And again, when you create a world like this, the intention is any one of these characters could be the lead in their own show, and certainly it’s cast that way, when you have Fred Armisen, when you have Catherine Zeta-Jones, when you have Luis Guzman. So that’s certainly something that we’ve discussed and would very much, in success, to really kind of branch out this world beyond just Wednesday.”

Additionally, Gough revealed which characters are being floated for spinoffs, as well as the connective tissue that could tie each new series together.

“You’ve got Fester, you’ve got young Gomez and Morticia, potentially,” continued Gough. “Which we talk about in the show. So it just feels like these are all places you could go in that world and explore. And then the beauty is you have Thing, who could be in all of it. He’s like your R2-D2 of the whole universe.”

It's reviewing okayish. Going to watch it, but there is definitely a tepid response from those reviews.

 

[Primal Slayer]

One would think that this would be an easy home run for Burton as its right up his alley but....looks like he may have lost his spark. Watching the OG movies...there were plenty of interesting things to do with the Addams universe and Wednesday as a character
