A sequel to last year’s animated movie The Addams Family is on its ways! And the film is going to be released just in time for Halloween 2021! Check out the film’s first teaser! The first film made over $200 million at the worldwide box office, thus making a sequel something inevitable. It is definitely one of the Halloween season favorites.
Director Greg Tiernan said in a statement, “The success of last year’s animated film was proof of the enduring legacy of The Addams Family and its ability to transcend popular culture. This second film will be every bit of fun as the original. We are thrilled to welcome Bill Hader and Javon Walton, and to welcome back our incredible original cast for this exciting next chapter in the Addam’s journey.”
Bill Hader joins the voice cast as a new character, Cyrus, while Utopia actor Javon “Wanna” Wilton will voice Pugsley, the youngest of the Addams siblings. The Addams Family 2 has been officially scheduled for October 8, 2021. The teaser even plays with our emotions and the current pandemic times we are living in saying that it will only be “one more year until the world returns to normal”.

Always staying true to themselves, the Addams Family brings their iconic spookiness and kookiness wherever they go.”
