We spoke w/ 'Wednesday's Alfred Gough and Miles Millar about getting Tim Burton on board.
From showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and director Tim Burton, the eight-episode Netflix original series Wednesday follows Wednesday Addams , a teenaged Mistress of the Macabre who finds herself at Nevermore Academy, the boarding school that her parents, Morticia and Gomez , also attended.
So, you tracked down who has the rights, you pitched this idea, and you got everybody interested. What was that initial pitch? What was the earliest idea that did get them interested and on board? You guys have said that you always wanted Tim Burton for this, and you felt like it was a match made in heaven. But taking into account that he had never done TV before, so there was no guarantee you’d actually get him for this, did you have a backup plan, if that didn’t work out?
MILLAR: Wednesday is a very difficult role because her motivations and her emotional point of view are not normal. That’s something that you always have to check yourself on. Even as writers, we had to check ourselves. We’d be like, “Well, that’s what a normal person would say. What would Wednesday say?” It was about always having to counter everything, in almost a contrarian way to what a normal person would think. That’s where the comedy comes from.
The Hyde and who the Hyde is, are questions that really run throughout the season, with some misdirections here and there. Did you always know who that would ultimately be? Was it always the character that it is? Had you thought of anyone else?
