Wednesday isn’t your typical Tim Burton project. First of all, it’s a TV series, so he doesn’t even direct all the episodes. But it also doesn’t have that over-the-top campy feeling of Beetlejuice, Mars Attacks!, or Batman. There’s still a grim edge — and, since it’s Wednesday, plenty of deadpan humor — but it was difficult to point out Burton’s episodes in Season 1’s lineup.
That changed in Season 2. The first four episodes of Wednesday Season 2 are now available on Netflix, and the two episodes that Burton directed, the first and fourth, have his unmistakable stamp. Now, you can watch the highlight of the season opener, a stop-motion animated horror story, whenever you want. Check out “The Tale of the Skull Tree” below:
