“Wednesday” – Watch the Opening Title Sequence from Tim Burton’s Series
Tim Burton is back with “Wednesday,” which is coming to Netflix on November 23, 2022. While you wait for the new series, you can watch the opening title sequence below.
The opening sequence is appropriately spooky and very Tim Burton, spotlighting the show’s main cast while also teasing the overall vibe of Burton’s fresh vision for this world.
Jenna Ortega stars in the new series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series.
Christina Ricci will also appear in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen recently joining the cast as Tim Burton’s own version of Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” It’s said to follow…
“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.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are writing and showrunning. Burton is directing.
Wednesday Addams has most recently been played by Chloë Grace Moretz in 2019’s animated movie, and earlier in live-action by Lisa Loring on TV and Christina Ricci in the films.
One of the best new series of the year, Apple TV’s hit series “Widow’s Bay”, is also now an Emmy nominee in multiple categories.
The 78th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be hosted by Mariska Hargitay and will air live on September 14 on NBC, streaming on Peacock, and nominations were announced this morning. Jeff Hiller, who plays government employee Dale in the series, was on hand to deliver the announcements.
“Widow’s Bay” has officially been nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series. Lead star Matthew Rhys has been nominated for an Emmy Award for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for “Widow’s Bay”.
Dale Dickey and Kate O’Flynn have both earned noms for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Also earning a nomination is Stephen Root for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

Daniel Kurland wrote in his “Widow’s Bay” review for Bloody Disgusting, “Season One makes a perfect first impression, and its debut is strong enough that viewers will want to set up permanent residency there. There’s an excellent sense of storytelling, character development, and an engaging mystery that’s strengthened through pitch-perfect horror and comedy.
The series takes place in a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England and follows the town’s mayor as he attempts to revitalize the community despite a very pesky curse that unleashes horror of all varieties.
Season one is directed and executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Hiro Murai (“Barry“, “Atlanta”). Murai helms five of the 10-episode season, in addition to directors Ti West (The X Trilogy, “Them”), Sam Donovan (“Severance”), and Andrew DeYoung (Friendship).
The inaugural season wrapped last month and has already been renewed for season two.
