This is no simple story of girl meets boy. This “Addams Family” spin-off is every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he has never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.
