Tim Burton thinks about his first TV series and aims at the Addams Family

Tim Burton jumps into the world of serialisation. The news bounced out of the blue, arousing the interest of industry insiders all over the world, considering the director's fame and the project he is allegedly working on.

Indeed Tim Burton's idea is to bring The Addams Family back to TV. And as imaginative and innovative as he can work, Tim Burton also seems to want to play it easy by taking a well-defined title and brand that suits his visually engaging style.

According to rumours Tim Burton is reportedly interested not only in being an executive producer but also in directing all the episodes and not perhaps the first one like so many of his colleagues. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, producers and authors of Smallville are working on the script with Millar being the showrunner. The TV series of The Addams Family by Tim Burton would be produced by MGM TV, which has the rights to the franchise.

The project is currently on the market waiting for the right buyer and with many interested parties given Burton's presence at the helm of such a cool brand as The Addamses. Among them, according to rumours, Netflix would have the advantage Interested in the idea of adding a name like Tim Burton to their catalogue and leading a TV series.

Of course, everything is still at the conditional stage, but it would appear that the series would be set today, would be live-action and not animated, and would offer the Addamses' view of today's world of 2020.

The dark and mysterious Addams Family, somewhere between horror and cartoon, was born in 1938 thanks to the pencil of Charles Addams and over time has spawned two TV series, films starring Christopher Lloyd and Anjelica Huston and recently a new successful animated version with a sequel expected in 2021. Burton's dark and imaginative world fits perfectly with the Addams' style, representing the perfect marriage.

Of course, the doubt always remains that it is always something already seen, already known, simply remade. But in these unstable times, the comfort of the already known seems to please everyone....
