Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and has a shocking
secret that only Gomez knows; she’s fallen in love with a sweet, smart young
man from a respectable family! Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s
never done before — keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family
on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and
his parents. All the usual clan are
present - Uncle Fester, Lurch, Pugsley et al.
