They’re not just at Freddie anymore. The official trailer for the full-length horror sequel on Freddy’s 2, Five Nights, is here, and it appears that Blumhouse is aiming for more blood, more lore and greater body counts. Please read the trailer above and read what you’re walking at this time.
Fazbear’s is a local legend now, but the nightmare is not over
Set a year after the events of the first film, the sequel discovered that the infamous Freddie Fazbeer pizza was mythologized by the community. What actually happened is distorted into something campy. And the town is throwing its first “Fazfest” to celebrate the story. However, Mike (Josh Hutcherson), Vanessa (Elizabeth Rail), and Mike’s sister Abby (Piper Rubio) know the truth.
Spiral soon when Abby sneaks up to find her old animatronic friends, Freddie, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. Below is a new wave of fear that uncovers the ominous secrets behind Freddie’s creation and awakens what has been buried for decades.
Freddie’s first five nights in the film opened in October 2023 at an impressive US$80 million, winning more than US$291 million worldwide.
Larger range, more animatronics, and higher stakes
According to what Hutcherson had to say in an interview with Esquire in October 2024, fans can expect a significant step up. “It’s much bigger. The stakes are high,” he said. “More animatronics are being brought in, a variety of animatronics are being brought in, and the world is opening up in just a big way.”
He also added that while the film expands its scope, it hasn’t lost sight of it wrapping its grounds. “We’re not only finding the balance right now, building this world and expanding it in a really cool way, but we’re also making sure the characters really stay grounded.”
Hutchison also teased a more frightening tone, saying, “It would actually be scary.” And judging from the trailer, it doesn’t waste time on darker visuals, bloody glimpses, and full-on mixed chaos, but the claims are maintained.
The Fazbear family grows
Alongside cast members Hutcherson, Rail, Rubio, Matthew Lillard (William Afton) and Theodos Crane, the sequel introduces new characters played by Freddie Carter, McKenna Grace, Wayne Knight and Scream’s skeet Ulrich.
The sequel, directed once again by Emma Tammy and written by series creator Scott Cawson, aims to improve where the first film was criticised. As producer Jason Blum said of the follow-up, “We received a lot of criticism and said it was not scary, lacking blood or strong scenes. We decided to implement everything in the sequel.”
Five nights at Freddie’s two will begin at Australian cinemas on December 4th and at US cinemas on December 5th.
