Tim Burton: Life in the Line | Official Trailer – Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder & More Celebrate Burton’s Legacy This Halloween

Tara Wood’s Tim Burton: Life in the Line explores the gothic genius of cinema’s dark dreamer, premiering October 23.

Just in time for Halloween, fans of the macabre and magical will finally get the documentary they’ve been waiting for. From acclaimed filmmaker Tara Wood (QT8: The First Eight), the official Tim Burton documentary — Tim Burton: Life in the Line — will premiere October 23 on a custom-built OTT platform, marking one of the largest independent streaming launches to date.

The four-part docuseries offers an unfiltered look into Burton’s world — uncut, personal, and deeply immersive, with never-before-seen footage, artwork, and candid interviews from some of his closest collaborators.

Featured voices include Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Keaton, Danny Elfman, Jenna Ortega, Christoph Waltz, Mia Wasikowska, and more — each reflecting on the visionary filmmaker’s creative legacy and the gothic heart that beats through his work.

Tim Burton: Life in the Line traces the artist’s journey from his unconventional beginnings at Disney, through his breakout hits like Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, and Batman, to the cultural phenomenon of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Wednesday.

Director Tara Wood brings her signature, artist-first lens to the project, shaping what promises to be the most complete and intimate portrait of Burton to date — a story of how one man redefined Halloween, championed the misunderstood, and built a cinematic home for every misfit and dreamer along the way.

Prepare to step inside the mind of a master when Tim Burton: Life in the Line premieres October 23, exclusively online.
