Johnny Depp in pigtails? Sign me up!
But seriously, how did Burton NOT have anything to do with either Addams movie in the 90s?

Each episode is going to premier on Wednesday every week, right? Right?

Wednesday Addams as psychic powered teen in a Netflix coming of age, high-school, teen mystery show written by the showrunners of Smallville.
What could go wrong.

I'd be interested were it not for Tim Burton. I dont think I've enjoyed one of his movies since Corpse Bride.

You know, this just makes me think... ...could Christina Ricci come back to Addams Family stuff now playing Morticia? She's only a few years off of being the same age Anjelica Huston was when she played the part. And someone did do a mock-up of the idea:

She's only a few years off of being the same age Anjelica Huston was when she played the part. And someone did do a mock-up of the idea: That would be a twist I would go for. This is a coming age story for Wednesday but the final episode reveals her mother is the original Wednesday and yes she should be played by Christina Ricii..

Melissa Hunter did it in 2013. Glad someone posted this. She did an amazing job portraying Wednesday and for anyone who hasn't seen the series, it's definitely worth checking out. It's just a shame she got shut down for copyright. I wonder if anyone's looked into casting her because I seriously can't imagine anyone else in the role of an adult Wednesday.

That’s okay I guess, but when are we going to get a Beetlejuice reboot? They’ve been half-assing a new movie for 30 years now and the broadway play got sidelined by the pandemic, the least they could do is give us a TV series.
And it also needs to crossover with this show because Wednesday meeting Beetz and Deetz is something I didn’t know I wanted until I started typing this message.

Sequel to the first movie where Lydia ended up being more like cartoon Lydia in regards to how her and B-Juice interact? Maybe with Ryder reprising that role?

I can't wait for him to strip out all the whimsy and nonsense like he did with Alice In Wonderland and have Wednesday discover a convoluted grim backstory on how Thing was created from the soul of a dead child.

If this was 90s Tim Burton then I would be excited.
But this is post-2005 Burton so I'm quite skeptical.

If this was 90s Tim Burton then I would be excited. But this is post-2005 Burton so I'm quite skeptical. Again : contrary to Barry Sonnenfeld on the Lemony Snicket series, Burton is, so far, mostly here as a director-for-hire (and because he's had some sort of option on the Addams Family rights for years, now). Sure, the esthetics will be his, and he'll have input on the casting and the overall tone, but the showrunners (the Smallville guys) have developed the project, and will write it along with the writer-producer of Code Black & Up All Night. I've not been too enthusiastic about Burton's work for a while, but I'm way more scared by the writing team, honestly, and by that "superpowered teen high-school mystery" pitch.
