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

[Snap Twice]

Never been so excited for a new season in a LONG time.

However, having to wait for part 2 of this season before we see Gaga is criminal!

The fact they've already got season 3 green-lit is amazing!

Seems Wednesday is doing the one per season story arc which is good.

I hate "mapped out" seasons because it's more often than not they are cancelled before their pre-planned ending, assuming they do have one and aren't just making it up as they go along.

A happy medium is plan for each season with a conclusion, not leave it on a cliffhanger for the next unguaranteed season or realize you wrote yourself into a corner making it up to whatever ending you thought you had.

Could be worse. Could be Stranger Things "I'm really a movie franchise disguised as a TV Show".

Netflix's 'Wednesday' Spin-Off Series Update From the Creators [Exclusive]

Wednesday co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar open up about the possibility of a spinoff. Find out what they said here.

However, during a recent chat with Collider’s Steve Weintraub for Wednesday Season 2, showrunners and series creators, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, revealed that they’re rather content about fully immersing themselves in the world of Wednesday and the Nevermore Academy — at least for now. According to Gough:

“It’s not a priority at the moment because, as we just said, it’s how do we get Wednesday back faster than we did in Season 2? So, we kind of went right from finishing Season 2 to jumping right into developing Season 3. So, it’s sort of all Wednesday all the time at the moment.”

Tim Burton directed the first and fourth. His were always the strongest from last season (let alone the viral dance episode).

Okay, first episode down.

Alas, poor Xavier. He died on his way back to his home planet.

Spoiler

Ortega and Myers continue to be standouts. Ortega has some wonderful new stares for Wednesday. Steve Buschemi is having too much fun, even if his character introduction did not go over well for me. Intrigued by Billie Piper's character. I worry that Bianca's set up at the end of last season may be tossed aside for other plots. Which sort of goes into my main concern.

I enjoyed the Addams when they showed up. I however, do not want them to become regulars on this show. Adding Pugsley would have been fine, but keeping Morticia and Gomez, with their own big plot, feels like overdoing it, and threatens the show to drift from Wednesday. Which, I admit, I liked when the first season gave focus to other Nevermore students.

Good start, imo. But, I have some concerns going forward.
