Wednesday Season 2 Trailer | Netflix

The behind-the-scenes teaser clip of Wednesday season 2 from Netflix’s 2024 Geeked Week gives a glimpse at Morticia Addams in a new costume that breaks a long-standing tradition for her character. Ever since the original comics themselves and the 1960s Addams Family sitcom, Morticia Addams has been noted as one of the most iconic horror characters of all time, in part due to her unique costumes and design. Subsequent adaptations of The Addams Family have continued the tradition of giving Morticia elegant black dresses, long black hair, and black makeup, with this style also being adopted by her daughter, Wednesday.

Wednesday Addams’ preference for the color black has often been an important character trait in Addams Family adaptations, with Wednesday taking this quality to the next level as Jenna Ortega’s iteration requires a black substitute for Nevermore Academy’s purple uniform. Both Wednesday and Catherine Zeta-Jones’ Morticia wore only black throughout season 1 to pay homage to their characters’ iconic styles from past franchise entries, but Wednesday season 2 is making some adjustments to the Addams's color palettes. Not only is Pugsley donning Nevermore’s purple jacket, but Morticia is seen wearing a dress that breaks away from her black-clad franchise history.
