Ahead of their San Diego Comic-Con 2025 panel, Josh Hutcherson battles evil animatronics in the official trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.
In 2023, Blumhouse’s box-office horror phenomenon Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the blockbuster game series by Scott Cawthon, became the highest-grossing horror film of the year. Now, a new chapter of animatronic terror begins.
One year has passed since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. The stories about what transpired there have been twisted into a campy local legend, inspiring the town’s first ever Fazfest. And former security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and police officer Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) have kept the truth from Mike’s 11-year-old sister, Abby (Piper Rubio), concerning the fate of her animatronic friends.
But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it sets in motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy’s, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades.
The cast of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 includes returning co-stars Theodus Crane as Jeremiah and the legendary Matthew Lillard as William Afton. The film features 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).
As for the San Diego Comic-Con 2025 panel, Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, and Matthew Lillard are expected to attend. Director Emma Tammi, known for The Left Right Game and Into the Dark, is also expected to attend. And the panel is being held in Hall H today (Thursday, July 24) at 4:15-5:15pm PT with a final trailer rumored to be released.
