Universal Pictures has released the second trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, starring Josh Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard. The sequel hits theatres on December 5, 2025.
The nightmare’s only getting worse, Universal Pictures has dropped the second official trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, and it cranks the fear up another level ahead of the film’s December 5, 2025 U.S. release.
The new look at the sequel dives deeper into the dread that made the first film a box office phenomenon. Josh Hutcherson returns alongside Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, and Matthew Lillard, with Emma Tammi once again in the director’s chair. The chilling tagline says it all: “Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.”
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 trailer 2
The trailer wastes no time reminding viewers why the FNAF universe became a pop horror juggernaut. We see the flicker of fluorescent lights, the hum of machines gone wrong, and Hutcherson’s haunted security guard descending into yet another waking nightmare. Freddy and the crew are back, rebuilt, more sinister, and far less forgiving.

This new footage also teases a richer dive into the game’s mythology, showing off new animatronics and cryptic glimpses that long time fans will obsess over frame by frame. Matthew Lillard’s William Afton, the puppet master behind the madness, looms larger than ever, suggesting Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 will push deeper into his twisted backstory.
The first film shocked everyone in 2023, pulling in nearly $300 million worldwide and reviving a cult fandom that had been dormant for years. This second trailer makes one thing clear: Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 isn’t just doubling down on the horror, it’s rewriting the rules.
