This four-part docuseries traces Tim Burton’s journey from misunderstood outsider to Hollywood’s gothic disruptor, revealing how his childhood, misfit family of collaborators, and personal triumphs and losses shaped the iconic worlds of Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and beyond.
