Tim Burton will direct and executive produce the first season, which comprises of eight scenes, and is composed by showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar (Smallville). The characters were made via visual artist Charles Addams in 1938 and have had numerous variations throughout the long term (counting the 1993 film Addams Family Values, with Christina Ricci in the Wednesday job). While Burton’s past work like The Nightmare Before Christmas apparently drew some inspiration from the franchise, this denotes his first Addams Family project.
