How will Tim Burton change the Addams Family to make it fit the Burtonverse?

has confirmed with sources that MGM Television is developing a new series about the spooktacular family. “Into the Badlands” creators Alfred Gough and Milles Millar are attached to write the new series, whileis in negotiations to direct and executive produce. Gough and Millar would also serve as executive producers and showrunners.

No network or streaming service is currently attached, but given the highly-recognizable IP, the series would likely have little trouble finding a home. If the show were picked up to series, it would mark one of the few television projects of Burton’s career. His previous TV work includes directing episodes of shows like “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” while he was also an executive producer on the animated series version of “Beetlejuice.” He is best known for his film work, helming critically-acclaimed features like “Edward Scissorhands,” “Batman” and “Batman Returns,” “Ed Wood,” and “Mars Attacks.

There have also been a slew of “Addams Family” films. The 1991 Barry Sonnenfeld film grossed nearly $200 million at the box office and was followed by the sequel “Addams Family Values” in 1993. Those films starred Raul Julia as Gomez, Anjelica Huston as Morticia, Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester, Christina Ricci as Wednesday, and Jimmy Workman as Pugsley. They have gone on to achieve cult status since their release.

For the love of christ..please not JohnnyDepp!! diegoluna_ is the only one! And no..not HelenaBohnamCar either. Someone new and fresh!

Im available if they are going Puerto Rican again hehehe

Don't call it the Burtonverse until Batman fights Betelgeuse.

Change The Addams Family? Fuck. That. Noise. You don't *change* The Addams Family.

Basically Johnny Depp 🤷‍♀️

Raul Julia has passed, there will never be another Gomez Addams🌺

Cast only white people?

In the Burtonverse every man Johnny Depp and every woman is Helena Bonham Carter.

Wait the 2 animated movies were not good enough

I honestly don't understand why this is getting so much hate. Burton and the Addams Family would go together like PB&J.

He'll make some beautiful brunette bleach her hair to a lackluster blonde, then claim she's Morticia.

Can’t wait for this to end up not happening.

Add a Danny Elfman soundtrack I literally cannot think of anything else.

My dude, there is only one Burtonverse.

Let it alone already.

His style is so similar I think it wouldn't change much. Not in the ways people would like. I could be wrong, though.

Haven’t we all suffered enough and will suffer even more without this planned suffering?

No. Absolutely not.

So uncanny to announce a trainwreck before it happens.

Simply asking the question suggests I should never, ever watch this.

Damn. This is when he would really do well with Anton Furst. I hate suicides. Especially gifted peoples'.

The premise of the Burtonverse is Addams Family, but everywhere. What are you talking about?

The Burtonverse is basically off-brand Addams, so...

No please.

Do NOT LET THIS MAN NEAR THE ADDAMS FAMILY

Depp and HBC as Gomez and Morticia is pretty much a given, of course.

LNorrisATL Danny Trejo will play all the male parts

He shouldn’t. Some things don’t require being remade.

Cousin It and Uncle Fester will be more grotesque compared to other carnations

Johnny Depp as Gomez. Next question!

REYMetz aahh

There’s no Burtonverse…
