When Netflix first heard Al Gough and Miles Millar’s pitch for a Wednesday Addams series, they “were struck, like an arrow from a crossbow, right in our hearts.” The 8-part series will follow Wednesday during her time at Nevermore Academy as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability and end a monstrous killing spree.

Along the way, she’ll become tangled in relationships with members of the diverse student body. Lifelong Addams Family fan Tim Burton has agreed to make his television directorial debut with the series. Andrew Mittman, Kevin Miserocchi, Kayla Alpert, Jonathan Glickman, and Gail Berman have also joined the team.

Little else is know about the series and a release date has not yet been set. Learn more about Netflix’s upcoming Wednesday series here.
