The Addams Family 2: Sequel to the 2019 animated film, this time taking the “a-normal” family on holiday.
Film plot and background
The Addams Family is back! After recouping the production costs of the first installment during its fall 2019 release weekend, it quickly became clear that there would be a sequel.
“The Addams Family 2” – plot
The offspring Wednesday and her brother Pugsley are in the middle of puberty and can neither find the right approach to society nor to their own family bond. Dad Gomez and mother Morticia’s rescue idea: a family holiday should bring the family closer together again. The entire Addams family, including Uncle Fester, Butler Lurch and the ice-cold little hand at the wheel, have room in the dusty camper van.
No sights are missed on the quirky road trip across the USA, and every chance is taken to scare the hell out of the locals. What would a family holiday be without the right amount of creepiness? The Addams’, however, have an observer. A nasty villain is stalking them across the country and wants to use a dark family secret to divide them. Can Morticia, Gomez and co. stop the intruder?
The trailer for “The Addams Family 2” shows the holiday spirit:
“The Addams Family 2” background, cast and theatrical release
Two years after the animated remake of the already much filmed material, the next Addams adventure is already coming to the cinemas. Greg Tirnan (“Charlie” , “Sausage Party”) is once again in the director’s chair, assisted by Laura Brousseau and Kevin Pavlovic. Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, who already worked as a writing duo on “Pókemon Master Detective Pikachu”, are responsible for the script this time.
The dubbing cast is based on continuity, and most of the voice actors from the first film will also be heard in the sequel, such as Charlize Theron, Oscar Isaac, Chloe Grace Moretz and Nick Kroll. New are Javon Walton (“Euphoria”), who replaces Finn Wolfhard and lends his voice to Pugsley, as well as Bill Hader in the role of Cyrus, whose character has not yet been explained in detail. It is currently not confirmed whether the previous German dubbing cast will also be available again.
A large part of the production can probably also be managed under the security measures during the corona pandemic, so that “The Addams Family 2” can open in German cinemas on schedule on 18 November 2021.
