Netflix taps 'Thor: Ragnarok' and 'Jojo Rabbit' writer/director Taika Waititi for the new series.
— TravisShreffler on TikTok “I grew up reading Dahl stories and lived large parts of my young life in those magical worlds, so finding just the right creative partner to bring Willy Wonka, Charlie and the Oompa-Loompas to life in animation was a daunting task… until Taika walked into the room,” said Netflix Vice President of Original Animation Melissa
Cobb. “Then, it was really obvious: If Dahl had created a character of a filmmaker to adapt his work, I’m pretty sure he would have created Taika.”According to Netflix, the two new shows will “retain the quintessential spirit and tone of the original story” while also building out the world and character beyond the pages of the Dahl book for the first time.
