When you consider The Addams Family, odds are the very first thing you consider is its theme music: “They’re creepy and they’re kooky/mysterious and spooky, they’re all together ooky/the Addams family,” snap, snap, and so forth. And so one would possibly assume the reveal of the credit sequence for Wednesday, the upcoming Addams-impressed present coming to Netflix, may create that very same form of recognition.

That’s not the case. No one is snapping on the finish of any of this music, which was written by legendary composer Danny Elfman—however it is creepy and kooky in a manner the unique present was not. Check it out.

Tim Burton, who directs the sequence, got here up with the idea for the credit whereas Elfman, in fact, did the music. Of observe although, whereas Elfman is a protractedtime collaborator with Burton, he didn’t do the music for Barry Sonnenfeld’s live-motion Addams Family motion pictures (although their releases in 1991 and 1993 have been primetime for Elfman, and it looks like he ought to have). That means that is his first go round with the characters, and it appears like he’s taking a playful but sinister tone.

On the present, which debuts on Netflix November 23, Jenna Ortega (Scream) performs Wednesday Addams, a scholar at Nevermore Academy who makes an attempt to unravel a homicide thriller involving her mother and father, Gomez and Morticia, performed by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán. Fred Armisen is Uncle Fester and Isaac Ordonez is Wednesday’s brother, Pugsley. But the present isn’t about them they usually’re every relegated to extra of visitor star standing.

Instead, Wednesday will work together extra with folks like Principal Larissa Weems, performed by Game of Thrones and Star Wars star Gwendoline Christie, and Sheriff Galpin, performed by Jamie McShane. And, sure, the long-lasting and former Wednesday, Christina Ricci, is in on the enjoyable too as Marilyn Thornhill.
