Netflix announced that “Wednesday” will be directed by Burton, who was previously tapped to direct a 3D Addams Family project that was scrapped in 2013. Longtime writing partners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, who previously wrote films such as “Spider-Man 2” and “Shanghai Noon” and the “Smallville” television show, will serve as showrunners on Netflix’s upcoming series.
Netflix billed the eight-episode “Wednesday” as a “sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday’s years as a student at the peculiar 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 of the strange and diverse student body.”
