Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a 2025 supernatural horror film from Blumhouse and Universal Pictures, the sequel to the record-breaking 2023 adaptation of Scott Cawthon's blockbuster video-game series. Emma Tammi returns to direct, and Cawthon himself again co-wrote the screenplay, keeping the film tethered to the sprawling lore that made the games a phenomenon among younger horror fans.
Josh Hutcherson returns as Mike Schmidt, still reeling from the events at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, alongside Piper Rubio as his younger sister Abby and Matthew Lillard as William Afton, the killer at the black heart of the franchise. The sequel expands the nightmare beyond the original pizzeria, drawing its haunted animatronics and a fresh wave of terror from the second video game's setting, as the survivors are pulled back into a decades-old cycle of violence and possession.
Released in December 2025, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 opened at number one and grossed well over $200 million worldwide, cementing the franchise as one of horror's most reliable box-office draws even as critics remained unconvinced. A rare adaptation embraced by its enormous fanbase, it is now streaming on Peacock.
