Blumhouse’s Jason Blum took to the stage at CinemaCon to debut the first teaser trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.

“The first Five Nights at Freddy’s was Blumhouse’s biggest hit,” Blum recalled before assuring the crowd that although the first movie was released day-and-date on Peacock, the sequel would launch exclusively in cinemas.

The first Five Nights at Freddy’s film centres on a security guard (played by Josh Hutcherson) at a pizzeria who soon learns that the establishment is home to some evil animatronics. The movies are based on the video game franchise of the same name that debuted in 2014. The trailer for the sequel teases more mysteries involving the pizzeria. “They’re out there, Mike,” Elizabeth Lail tells Hutcherson’s character in the footage, “… everywhere”.

Piper Rubio and Matthew Lillard also star in director Emma Tammi‘s sequel to the 2023 original film, which she also helmed. Tammi directs from a script she co-wrote with Scott Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback. In a previous interview, Tammi had said of a possible follow-up that “We have some loose ends that I think are going to have to come back in a sequel to be tied up.”

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 will be released on December 5th, 2025. Watch the teaser below:
