The Addams Family 2, which Meagan Navarro wrote “trades the macabre for hyper candy-coated comedy for kids,” will be available to own for the first time on Blu-ray and DVD January 18, 2022, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, Bloody Disgusting learned.

BONUS FEATURES EXCLUSIVE TO BLU-RAY & DVD:

  • We’re Altogether Addams: Meet the people behind the voices.
  • Courage to be Kooky: See why it’s okay to be different (even kooky) with a little help from the cast of THE ADDAMS FAMILY 2.
  • THE ADDAMS FAMILY Road Trip Checklist: In this “How To” vignette, we’ll show you everything you need for a successful road trip with the family. From essentials to games, we’ve got you covered.

In the new movie, “We find Morticia and Gomez distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with “scream time.” To reclaim their bond they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. Their adventure across America takes them out of their element and into hilarious run-ins with their iconic cousin, It, as well as many new kooky characters. What could possibly go wrong?”

The sequel to MGM’s 2019 box-office smash hit has rounded out its stellar voice cast with the additions of Bill Hader as all-new character “Cyrus,” and Javon “Wanna” Walton taking on the role of the youngest Addams sibling, “Pugsley.” Hader and Walton join returning Addams Family film stars Charlize Theron (Morticia), Oscar Isaac (Gomez), Chloë Grace Moretz (Wednesday), Nick Kroll (Fester), Bette Midler (Grandma) and Snoop Dogg (It).

The Addams Family 2 was directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan.
