In a statement from Ted Biaselli, Netflix’s director of original series, “Wednesday will see everyone’s favorite maiden of the macabre graduate into a full-fledged leading lady.”
Wednesday comes from showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar (both of whom served as writers on Smallville), who’ll also be executive producing the series alongside Tim Burton.
The director also helmed films like Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Alice in Wonderland, and more.
According to Biaselli, “When we first heard Al Gough and Miles Millar’s pitch for Wednesday we were struck, like an arrow from a crossbow, right in our hearts. They nailed the tone, the spirit and the characters, but gave us a fresh way into this story.”
Biaselli also wrote this in a corporate blog post, “The upcoming eight-episode series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday’s years as a student at the peculiar Nevermore Academy. 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 of the strange and diverse student body.” (ROHN ROMULO)
