Turns out you can’t keep a good mascot down. Freddy and his deranged crew are clocking back in for round two in the official full trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.
After Five Nights at Freddy’s clawed its way to nearly $300 million at the box office last year — becoming 2023’s highest-grossing horror film and a Halloween-weekend juggernaut — Blumhouse and game creator Scott Cawthon aren’t done playing with possessed plushies. Enter Fazfest: a town-wide, family-friendly celebration built on what the locals now brush off as kooky urban legend. But the bodies never really cooled — and the secrets? They’re still rotting beneath the surface.
Josh Hutcherson reprises his role as Mike, a haunted ex-security guard doing his best to shield his younger sister Abby (Piper Rubio) from the literal nightmare fuel they narrowly survived. Elizabeth Lail returns as Vanessa, the cop with a secret who knows Freddy’s twisted history better than she lets on. But when Abby, drawn by faded memories of her robotic playmates, sneaks off to reunite with Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy — well, you can guess what happens next.
Matthew Lillard also returns as the sinister William Afton, while new faces — including Freddy Carter (“Shadow and Bone”), Wayne Knight (Jurassic Park, “Seinfeld”), Skeet Ulrich (Scream, “Riverdale”), and genre darling Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters, Annabelle Comes Home) — join the Fazbear fray.
Behind the camera, director Emma Tammi returns to helm the chaos, co-writing the script with Cawthon. Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and Cawthon are back producing, with executive producers Emma Tammi, Beatriz Sequeira, Christopher Warner, Russell Binder, and Marc Mostman keeping the animatronic gears turning.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 hits cinemas on December 5.
