Wonderful Behind-The-Scenes Featurette For WEDNESDAY Focuses on Tim Burton's Vision
Tim Burton’s Netflix series Wednesday is set to be released next month, and to help keep the excitement alive for the series, we have a new featurette to share with you! It offers us an incredibly fun behind-the-scenes look at the story the series tells, and the characters that fill it, but it mostly offers some insight into Burton and his macabre vision for the new Addams Family project.
Jenna Ortega stars in the series, which is described as a twisted coming-of-age comedy story about “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesday’s 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.”
The show also stars Luis Guzmán, who is playing Gomez Addams, and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the role of Morticia Addams, as well as Gwendoline Christie, Christina Ricci, Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester, Hunter Doohan, Percy Hynes White, Joy Sunday, Emma Myers, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Georgie Farmer, Naomi Ogawa and Moosa Mostafa.
The eight-episode series was written by Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar, who also appear in the video, and it was directed by Burton. All three of them will also serve as showrunners on the series and executive producers.
The show will premiere this Thanksgiving on November 23rd!
