Netflix has unveiled the first extended clip from its upcoming Wednesday Addams TV series.
The 90-second clip, which was released as part of Netflix’s global Tudum 2022 fan event, gives us a look at the Netflix show’s moody but humorous aesthetic and tone. Oh, and it also has an unexpected Marvel reference that Captain America would be proud of.
Check out the first clip from the Netflix series Wednesday Addams below:
Did you cover Cap’s iconic quote “I could do this all day”? We’d be surprised if you didn’t.
Either way, as you will have seen in the clip, Wednesday Addams is not in love with her parents wherever she is right now. And things don’t get much rosier for the teenage daughter of the Addams Family either, with Morticia and Gomez Addams sending Thing – an anthropomorphic human hand that can’t speak – to spy on her.
Unsurprisingly, Deathly Wednesday aims to lock Thing down so she can’t go back to her parents and tell them what she’s up to, which is that she’s planning to escape wherever she is. However, Wednesday decides to give Thing a choice – swear allegiance to her, and she can stay free. Naturally, given the alternative, it doesn’t take long for Thing to agree to these terms.
The exclusive clip from Tudum comes a month (and a day!) after the first official trailer for Wednesday Addams went live. This teaser gave us a much better idea of the comedy-horror vibe that Netflix’s live-action series is looking for, but this new clip offers a better look at how Jenna Ortega will portray Wednesday’s role. in the character’s first stand-alone tale.
The new footage also comes 24 hours after Wednesday’s TV show was given an official release date: November 23, which is, unsurprisingly, a Wednesday. Spooky season will be well over by then, but it will still make for an exciting post-Halloween watch.

Netflix’s Wednesday stars Ortega in the lead role, with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, and Isaac Ordonez portraying Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley Addams, respectively.
Gwendoline Christie, Jamie McShane, Riki Lindhorne and Christina Ricci — who starred in the beloved Addams Family films of the early 1990s on Wednesday — are also among the show’s substantial supporting cast.
