MGM has released the first official trailer for the upcoming sequelThe Addams Family 2, the animated feature-length film that serves as a follow-up to the 2019 movie. After phenomenal box office results for the firstAddams Family, a sequel wasalmost instantly greenlit, and now we have the first taste of adventures that lie ahead for Gomez, Morticia, Pugsley, Wednesday, and the rest of the Addams clan as they head out on a road trip vacation to remember.
When Gomez and Morticia realize that their children are starting to outgrow the need for tradition (including “evening ritual mastication,” which I’ll be adopting as my new term for “dinner”), the Addams patriarch decides to act fast. Gomez drags out the old camper for some family bonding, and the whole group hits the road together (with Lurch loaded down beneath all their luggage). They’ll go where no Addams has gone before — to every classic U.S. landmark you can think of, plus a visit to see Cousin IT on a jetski.
