The Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 release date has been made official for the Blumhouse and Universal Pictures horror movie.
When is Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 coming out?
Universal revealed that the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 release date is set for December 5, 2025. That is a bit later in the year than the original as it was released on October 27, 2023. Despite also releasing on Peacock, it made $291 million worldwide.
No director or cast is confirmed just yet for the upcoming sequel, although it is expected that Josh Hutcherson will return as its star. Production is supposed to start this summer.
“We hoped it would connect with audiences, but I don’t think that anybody, even on our side of things, expected it to really connect the way that it did,” said Hutcherson of the sequel. “I’m dying to get back on set. Emma Tammi, our director, was fantastic, and it was such a fun world to play in. I’m excited to see what they are doing next.”
“The terrifying horror game phenomenon becomes a blood-chilling cinematic event, as Blumhouse brings Five Nights at Freddy’s to the big screen,” reads the synopsis. “The film follows a troubled security guard as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be so easy to make it through.”
Five Nights at Freddy’s was directed by Emma Tammi from a screenplay she co-wrote with game creator Scott Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback. The adaptation stars Matthew Lillard (Scream), Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games), Piper Rubio (Holly & Ivy), Mary Stuart Masterson (Some Kind of Wonderful), Elizabeth Lail (You), and Kat Conner Sterling (A Week Away).
