Five Nights at Freddy’s is back for more thrills.
At CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas on Wednesday, April 2, Blumhouse debuted the first teaser trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, a sequel to the horror video game adaptation that became a box office hit in 2023.
The second installment “begins a blood-chilling new chapter of animatronic terror,” according to a logline. Another line adds, “Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.”
Also directed by Emma Tammi, the first film was about Mike (Josh Hutcherson), who takes a sketchy job as a night security guard at an abandoned theme restaurant called Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. He hopes the gig will help him keep custody of his younger sister, but, a synopsis teases, the job “instead drags him into the black heart of a supernatural nightmare.”

In 2023, director Tammi told Variety of expanding the franchise, “We’re definitely excited to keep making more movies in this world, should we be lucky enough to do that.”
“This one was tied into the first game, and we would probably focus on tying the second one into the second game, and so on and so forth. But anything could happen,” Tammi added at the time. “We’ll have to see.”
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is in theaters Dec. 5.
