Editing Tim Burton (section)

===2022–present: ''Wednesday'' and resurgence ===
In February 2021, it was announced that Burton would be directing and producing ''[[Wednesday (TV series)|Wednesday]]'', a series for [[Netflix]] based on the [[Wednesday Addams|titular character]] from [[The Addams Family]] starring [[Jenna Ortega]] and [[Christina Ricci]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Netflix Orders Wednesday Addams Series from Tim Burton|url=https://deadline.com/2021/02/wednesday-addams-live-action-series-tim-burton-netflix-al-gough-miles-millar-to-showrun-1234695553/|website=Deadline|date=February 17, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Feinberg |first=Scott |date=2023-08-16 |title=Burbank Declares 'Tim Burton Day' With the Hometown Filmmaker Set to Return for Local Film Fest (Exclusive) |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/local-news/tim-burton-namesake-first-recipient-new-honor-burbank-international-film-festival-1235568355/ |access-date=2023-09-10 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}}</ref> This marked Burton's first foray into directing television since the 1980s. He helmed four episodes in the first season, which began production in September 2021 for a November 2022 release. The show was released to critical acclaim.

In October 2022, Burton announced that he would probably never work with The Walt Disney Company again after ''Dumbo'', due to his distinctive style and working approach not matching with what Disney is currently looking for, with its focus on [[Pixar]], [[Marvel Studios|Marvel]] and [[Lucasfilm]]. He stated that "It's gotten to be very homogenized, very consolidated. There's less room for different types of things".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Heching|first=Dan|date=October 24, 2022|title=Tim Burton says he probably won't work for Disney again|url=https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/23/entertainment/tim-burton-disney-dumbo/index.html|access-date=April 30, 2023|website=[[CNN]]}}</ref><ref name="SurrealPolitics">{{Cite web|last=Goodfellow|first=Melanie|date=October 22, 2022|title=Tim Burton Addresses "Surreal" U.K. Politics; 'Beetlejuice 2' & Why 'Dumbo' Will Likely Be His Last Film With Disney – Lumière Festival Tim Burton Jamboree Continues|url=https://deadline.com/2022/10/tim-burtonl-uk-politics-beetlejuice-dumbo-disney-lumiere-festival-1235152608/|access-date=April 30, 2023|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]}}</ref>
