The animated Addams Family 2 features an ensemble cast of wonderful new and returning actors lending their voices to the beloved creepy and kooky characters. The Addams Family sequel follows the characters as Morticia and Gomez become agitated by Pugsley and Wednesday growing up by focusing too much on “scream time” and being late to family dinners. The Addams parents decide to load up the family into the camper to go on a road-trip vacation across the United States. Outside of their comfortably terrifying home, the Addams becoming involved in plenty of misadventures and run-ins with oddball characters.
The Addams Family 2 follows up from the 2019 animated film, which showed the titular clan preparing for a visit from their eccentric family members. The Addams family was also subject to trouble when a TV personality realized their mansion was getting in the way of her dream to sell all the neighborhood’s homes. Following the original 1960s TV series and the three 1990s live-action film adaptations, the computer-animated 2019 Addams Family movie was a verified success, bringing in over $200 million at the box office. Only a few days after its premiere, it was announced The Addams Family 2 was in the works for an October 2021 release.
After recruiting an all-star cast for The Addams Family (2019), the sequel is keeping up the momentum as most of the performers return while a few new names were added to the ensemble. Here’s a breakdown of The Addams Family 2’s cast and characters, and what their voice actors look like.
Oscar Isaac As Gomez Addams
Reprising his role from the first installment, award-winning actor Oscar Isaac voices the Addams family patriarch Gomez. Oscar Isaac was born to play Gomez Addams, proving so with a red carpet video of him lustily kissing Jessica Chastain’s arm, just as all live-action Gomez portrayals do to Morticia. While there’s still hope a live-action Addams Family movie could cast Isaac as Gomez, it’s comforting to still hear him voice the character in the animated adaptations. Isaac is most notable for his roles as Poe Dameron in the Star Wars sequels, the titular character in Inside Llewyn Davis and the titular hero in Disney+’s upcoming Moon Knight series.
Charlize Theron As Morticia Addams
Oscar-winning South African actress Charlize Theron also returned to The Addams Family 2’s cast as family matriarch Morticia Addams (neé Frump).

The role of Pugsley was previously voiced by Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard in the 2019 animated movie, with THR claiming he exited due to aging out of the role.
