Universal Pictures has shared a new trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the highly anticipated follow-up to Blumhouse‘s 2023 supernatural horror movie. The sequel is scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 5, 2025.

“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. Former security guard Mike and police officer Vanessa have kept the truth from Mike’s 11-year-old sister, Abby, concerning the fate of her animatronic friends,” reads the official synopsis. “But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into 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.”
