Showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough started developing story ideas in 2019. They subsequently acquired the rights to the intellectual property before writing a pilot script, which they sent to Burton. [12] To their surprise, Burton immediately became interested upon receiving the script. [13] Commenting about his decision to join the project, Burton stated that he could relate to the titular character's worldview and that the script "spoke to me about how I felt in school and how you feel about your parents, how you feel as a person. It gave the Addams Family a different kind of reality. It was an interesting combination." [11] Millar stated that it was "very important" to the creative team not to emulate the prior films and 1964 television series. [13] Millar and Gough decided to make the juxtaposition of "outcasts" and "normies", as well as criticism of colonial Americans, major themes in the series. [14] Remake Cameo: Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday Addams in the 1991 film and its sequel, appears here as Ms. Thornhill. Since she ends up being the Big Bad of Season One, the role is far more than just a simple cameo. Piña, Christy (December 23, 2022).
