Development

In August 2018, Scott Cawthon said that if the first film were to be successful, there could be a second film that follows the events of the second game.^[3] A sequel was revealed to be in development by Josh Hutcherson, the actor who portrayed the role of Mike Schmidt in the previous film, in January 2024.^[4] In April 2024, Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions officially confirmed the sequel,^[5] and that Jim Henson's Creature Shop would return to design animatronics for the film.^[6]

Throughout the first week of August 2024, the official ScottGames account posted behind the scenes pictures of the animatronics, as well as four screenplay samples, with three of them being fake, and one legitimate, onto the social media platform X to celebrate the franchise's tenth anniversary.^[7]

On October 18, Blumhouse revealed a teaser poster the film as part of their New York Comic Con panel. The image depicts an animatronic, presumably Toy Freddy, looking out from behind a curtain, and features a large two that sits above the release date.^[3]

Casting

Actor Matthew Lillard, who portrayed William Afton in the first film, is expected to reprise his role after previously confirming that he signed a three-picture deal with the studios.^[2] In October 2024, Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, and Lillard were confirmed to reprise their roles.^[1]

Filming

Principal photography is expected to start in October 2024.^[8]

Release

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is scheduled to be released in the United States on December 5, 2025.^[9]^[10]
