POPSUGAR: What did you take from The Addams Family in 1991 with Christina Ricci and bring to the character today? Was there a non-negotiable? Something you specifically wanted to change?
Mark Sutherland: With the Christina Ricci character and the new Wednesday, it was really just bringing it into modern times but still keeping that similar vibe that Christina Ricci and Wednesday Addams had before so there's a connection from the past to the present.
Also, with the fabrics and the prints, [our goal was] just trying to carry them through to the first time we see Wednesday Addams in this series and then moving forward from that — just as an initial transition from the Christina Ricci character to the Jenna [Ortega] character.
