"Five Nights at Freddy’s 2" Debuts Teaser

The official teaser for Universal and Blumhouse’s “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2," a sequel to the horror video game adaptation that became a box office hit in 2023, was unveiled at CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

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."

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."

The movie based on the hit video game was an anomaly performing equally well in theaters and on Peacock since it was a hot, fan-frenzied franchise. 

"Five Night’s Freddy‘s" was Peacock‘s most-watched film or series ever in its first five days, besting previous record-holders "Halloween Ends", "The Super Mario Bros. Movie", "Bel-Air" and "The Best Man: The Final Chapters."

Blum also gave props to the pic’s screenwriter Scott Cawthon for having the foresight that it would be a hit. 

The movie won over fans with its faithful-to-the-video-game production design, down to the eyeliner on the stuffed walking animals. Universal’s marketing machine harnessed that to sell to the Freddy faithful.

Tammi returns to direct Freddy’s 2 off a script she co-wrote with Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback.

Matthew Lillard, Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, and Elizabeth Lail star.

"Five Nights at Freddy’s 2" opens on December 5.
