The first trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 premiered during Blumhouse and Universal’s CinemaCon presentation before being made available online. Producer Jason Blum announced that, unlike the first film, the sequel will have an exclusive theatrical release on December 5, 2025, and will not be available simultaneously on Peacock. The trailer is accessible through various online platforms for fans to watch.
The film’s official tagline, “Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances,” hints at a darker and more intense sequel. This phrase suggests the stakes are even higher than in the original, promising a thrilling experience for audiences. The sequel builds upon the foundation laid by the first film, drawing directly from Scott Cawthon’s wildly popular video game franchise.
