“Everyone has demons. Mine have names.”
So says Kat Elliot in Netflix’s upcoming holiday offering Wendell and Wild, from Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick.

Selick, who received an Academy Award nomination for his directing work in Coraline, wrote the script with Peele, himself an Oscar winner for Get Out. The star-studded voice cast also includes Angela Bassett, James Hong, Ving Rhames, Tamara Smart, Natalie Martinez, Tantoo Cardinal, Gabrielle Dennis, Igal Naor, David Harewood, Maxine Peake, Ramona Young, Sam Zelaya, Seema Virdi and Gary Gatewood.
