The filmmaker is responsible for classics such as Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Planet of the Apes (2001) and Alice in Wonderland (2010). In the world of animation, he also collects hits such as Jack’s Strange World (1993), Corpse Bride (2005) and Frankenweenie (2012).
Still without a premiere date, Wednesday’s synopsis reveals a series of investigations, with supernatural touches, that will show Wandinha’s years as a student at a dark boarding school. The teenage daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams will have mediumistic abilities, will fight monsters, and still solve the mystery that involved her parents 25 years ago.
Al Gough and Miles Millar, creators of Smallville, are responsible for the script. The duo will also produce the series alongside Tim Burton, Kayla Alpert, Andrew Mittman, Kevin Miserocchi, Jonathan Glickman and Gail Berman.
