Academy Award(R) nominated and Emmy(R) winning composer Danny Elfman (Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Spider-Man) is once again teaming up with director Tim Burton to compose the theme for Wednesday, the upcoming live-action, comedic coming-of-age tale from Netflix and MGM.

Elfman will also create themes and score episodes throughout the entire season of Wednesday, working alongside Emmy(R) nominated composer Chris Bacon (Smash, Bates Motel), who has collaborated with Elfman on past projects.
