The Nevermore Academy is new to the Addams Family franchise and specifically concocted for this series. In the numerous incarnations of the Addams Family, they are generally the outsiders. However, this time around they are going to be right at home surrounded by students, families, and faculty who seem to share similar values. So instead of standing out because of their uniqueness, they stand out because they excelled. It is an incredibly fresh take on the franchise that, from the trailers and previews, looks to be compelling television. Plus stellar casting across the board, Netflix could have a new hit franchise on their hands.

Tim Burton is renowned for his work in the strange and out there work, so the Addams Family always seemed like a natural fit for the famed storyteller. And as expected, he is doing the unexpected, by fully embracing the unique and out-there nature of the Addams, and placing them in a community of equally out-there people, essentially making them normal, This is easily the most out-there project Tim Burton has done in recent, and all, memory and anticipation is at an all-time high. Burton is essentially being weirder than ever by making weird normal. It’s absolutely brilliant.
Tim Burton’s Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega, premieres exclusively on Netflix on Wednesday, November 23, 2022.
