Netflix has ordered a live-action series that will feature Wednesday Addams, the gothic familys daughter, which will be directed by Tim Burton. Netflix describes Wednesday as a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Wednesdays 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 character was most notably played by Christina Ricci in films The Addams Family and Addams Family Values. Lisa Loring starred as the character in the 1960s Addams Family TV series, and Chlo Grace Moretz voices her in the most recent animated films. Depending on the adaptation, Wednesday is either the older or younger sister to her brother, Pugsly. Along with directing, Burton will executive produce alongside Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who will serve as head writers and showrunners. Additional executive producers include Andrew Mittman for 1.21, Kevin Miserocchi, Kayla Alpert, Jonathan Glickman for Glickmania, and Gail Berman. The series is from MGM/UA Television.
