Rob Zombie's Munsters Reboot Could Be Problem For Burton's Wednesday
Netflix’s Wednesday will see Tim Burton offer a more mature Addams Family retelling, something that could result in competition with director Rob Zombie’s reboot of The Munsters. Rob Zombie’s Munsters reboot will see the Halloween director revisit a nostalgic favorite from his childhood. Despite Zombie being best known for his gory, R-rated horror efforts, the director will be trying his hand at more family-friendly fare with this reboot of the iconic morbid sitcom about a family of monsters.
Meanwhile, director Tim Burton’s Netflix series Wednesday will see the helmer touch on darker material than the Addams Family are used to. While the clan has always been a little macabre in their many screen incarnations, the synopsis of Burton’s Wednesday makes it clear that the series will include more mature themes than the family’s usual antics. As a result, Zombie’s Munsters reboot and Burton’s Wednesday may end up in direct competition with each other.

However, Zombie’s work is typically fairly mature too, meaning there is a good chance his Munsters reboot will be a similarly darker take on the original sitcom—thus reigniting the old rivalry between the franchises if Burton and Zombie’s projects end up tonally similar.
