I truly believe that most people have, at one time or another, felt odd. Maybe creepy. Kooky even. And perhaps because I was so tapped into my inner oddball, I found a deep kinship to the family of Addams.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it was the classic TV series, the brilliant movies, the recent Broadway musical or even their guest appearances on <em>Scooby Doo<\/em> &#8211; every time the <em>Addams Family<\/em> was on a screen, I was watching. I loved that at every opportunity the Addams skewered so-called &#8220;normality.&#8221; Their entire existence was a middle finger (attached to a disembodied hand) to the status quo. And none was more rebellious, more avant-garde and more iconic than Wednesday Addams.<\/p><div id=\"morty-713493025\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Adolescence is an awful time for everyone.

They nailed the tone, the spirit and the characters, but gave us a fresh way into this story. The upcoming eight-episode series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday&#8217;s years as a student at the peculiar Nevermore Academy. Wednesday&#8217;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 &#8211; all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships of the strange and diverse student body.<\/p>\n<p>We then got the call that visionary director and lifelong <em>Addams Family<\/em> fan Tim Burton wanted to make his television directorial debut with this series. Tim has had a history of telling empowering stories about social outsiders like <em>Edward Scissorhands<\/em>, <em>Lydia Deitz<\/em>, and <em>Batman<\/em>.
