Bill Hader and Javon Walton are joining Charlize Theron and Oscar Isaac for the second Addams Family animated movie, out next October.

Hader will play a new character, Cyrus, while Walton is replacing Finn Wolfhard as Pugsley. Chloë Grace Moretz (Wednesday), Nick Kroll (Fester), Bette Midler (Grandma) and Snoop Dogg (It) are also returning.

Director Greg Tiernan said, “The success of last year’s animated film was proof of the enduring legacy of The Addams Family and its ability to transcend popular culture. This second film will be every bit as fun as the original. We are thrilled to welcome Bill Hader and Javon Walton, and to welcome back our incredible original cast for this exciting next chapter in the Addams’s journey.”
