Charlize Theron and Oscar Isaac voice Morticia and Gomez Addams in the animated film directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan. Nick Kroll is Uncle Fester; Chloe Grace Moretz is Wednesday Addams; Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard is the voice of Pugsley Addams; Bette Midler is Grandmama; and Oscar winner Allison Janney is the family’s arch nemesis, Margaux Needler.

“Every family is different, but some families are more different than others,” says a voice-over as illustrations of diverse types of families are illustrated in the teaser. The viewers are then introduced to a younger Moritica and Gomez as they walk into a spooky mansion. “Get out!” yells a voice from inside the house. The film’s will follow the eccentric family and how their lives begin to unravel when they face-off against a crafty reality-TV host while also preparing for their extended family to arrive for a major celebration, Addams-style.

Based on the famous New Yorker cartoons of Charles Addams, The Addams Family became a television show in the 1960s, a hit animated series in the early 1970s and a live-action movie franchise in the 1990s.

The Addams Family will release in theatres on 11 October.
