They are no longer just at Freddy’s.
In 2023, Blumhouse’s box office horror phenomenon Five Nights at Freddy’s — based on Scott Cawthon’s famous game series — became the year’s highest-grossing horror movie. Now, a shocking new chapter in animatronic terror begins.
A year has passed since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. The stories of what happened there have been twisted into an exaggerated local legend, inspiring the town’s first-ever FazFest.
Former security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and police officer Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) have hidden the truth from Mike’s 11-year-old sister Abby (Piper Rubio) about what happened to her animatronic friends.
But when Abby runs away to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it unleashes a terrifying chain of events, revealing dark secrets about Freddy’s true origins — and awakening long-forgotten horrors hidden for decades.
The Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 cast features returning stars Theodus Crane as Jeremiah and the legendary Matthew Lillard as William Afton. The film introduces new characters played by Freddy Carter (Shadow and Bone, Pennyworth), Wayne Knight (Jurassic Park, Seinfeld), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters franchise, Annabelle Comes Home), and horror icon Skeet Ulrich (Scream, Riverdale).
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Emma Tammi, returning to the franchise, with a screenplay by game series creator Scott Cawthon.
The film is produced by Blumhouse founder/CEO Jason Blum and Scott Cawthon, who previously collaborated on the first film. Executive producers are Emma Tammi, Beatriz Sequeira, Christopher Warner, Russell Binder, and Marc Mostman.
The first Freddy’s film debuted with a record $80 million opening weekend in October 2023 and earned nearly $300 million worldwide.
