The sequel to Blumhouse's hit horror film, Five Nights at Freddy's 2, continues the dark, supernatural nightmare a year after the terrifying events at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The film brings back the core creative team, with Emma Tammi directing and franchise creator Scott Cawthon writing. The plot is set approximately one year later, with the stories of the original killings having warped into a local, campy legend, even inspiring a town event called Fazfest. The returning cast includes Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt, Piper Rubio as his younger sister Abby, Elizabeth Lail as Vanessa, and Matthew Lillard as the villainous William Afton.
The new horror is set into motion when Mike and Vanessa, having tried to shield Abby from the truth about her animatronic "friends," find their efforts undone. Abby sneaks out to reconnect with the original animatronics—Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy—which triggers a chilling new series of events. This journey is expected to draw heavily from the lore of the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 video game, including the introduction of the more modern, sinister "Toy" animatronics and a deeper dive into the origin of Freddy's and the long-forgotten secrets of William Afton. Director Tammi has promised a sequel that is "bigger and scarier," with more Easter eggs for the dedicated fanbase.
