But it’s not that simple.

There’s the adult relationships.
And all under the prism ofTim Burton.”
Time to Transfer
Wednesday Addams won’t be at Nancy Reagan High School for long.
Soon, the campus where her parents met, Nevermore Academy, will be her new home.
Terrible Teens
For the first time in the character’s history, Wednesday will experience life as a teenager.
“In every previous iteration, Wednesday has been younger,” says Gough.
“We loved the idea of aging her up to 15.”
“She’s really a defender of the innocent,” says Millar.
(Danny Elfmanis also on board to compose the theme.)
“It’s an eight-hour Tim Burton movie,” Gough says.
Adds Millar, “It was very important to Timand to usthat this isn’t a remake.
It’s something new.”
