A darkly comedic family romp that balances macabre humor with genuine affection, celebrating the Addams clan's bizarre bonds while poking fun at suburban normalcy.

Siblings Wednesday and Pugsley Addams will stop at nothing to get rid of Pubert, the new baby boy adored by parents Gomez and Morticia. Things go from bad to worse when the new "black widow" nanny, Debbie Jellinsky, launches her plan to add Fester to her collection of dead husbands.
