The black and white family portrait is just a glimpse of the upcoming series, which will focus on Wednesday's studies at the Nevermore Academy boarding school.
Netflix teased the show will see"Wednesday's attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorised the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago".Filmmaker Tim Burton makes his TV debut, directing four of the eight episodes and executive producing the comedy horror series from creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough .
Speaking to VF about Burton's input in the project, Miller said:"He's also incredibly debonair and romantic." "He brings something very different and new," Millar added."That was very important to us and very important to Tim – that it didn't feel like a remake or a reboot." When asked about a notable figure missing from the family portrait – Uncle Fester – Miller told VF:"We have no comment on Uncle Fester.
