About the Wednesday TV Series.
Wednesday is an updated spin on the Addams Family franchise that focuses on Goth teen Wednesday Addams. Tim Burton will direct and executive produce the first season, which consists of eight episodes, and is written by showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar (Smallville). According to producers:
“Wednesday is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.”
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán guest-star as Wednesday’s parents, Morticia and Gomez.
