Tim Burton is Looking to Bring Back “The Addams Family” for a Live-Action TV Series!
While The Addams Family has been given new life thanks to MGM’s recent animated film and its upcoming sequel, we haven’t seen the family in the world of live-action in many years now. That could soon change, Deadline reports today, as Tim Burton is looking to bring the family back to the world of live-action for a brand new TV series. Yes, Tim Burton!
The site reports, “Sources tell Deadline that Burton is negotiating to executive produce and possibly direct all episodes of this new take on the franchise.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) have already been set as the writers/showrunners for the MGM TV project, which is currently looking for a home. Potentially at Netflix.
Deadline notes, “As of right now, the package has multiple buyers bidding for it, including Netflix, which sources say is at the top of the list of landing the project.”
The site also reports that while this particular bit hasn’t been confirmed, the series would be set in the present day and primarily center on Wednesday Addams.
Needless to say, Tim Burton and “The Addams Family” are a natural fit, to the point that it’s almost hard to even believe that it’s taken this long for Burton to become attached to the property. There’s probably nobody better to inject new life into the live-action franchise than Burton, and the potential focus on Wednesday sounds like the best possible call here.
Makes you wonder if Burton would bring back Christina Ricci to play adult Wednesday…
