The highly awaited sequel to the 2023 horror film “Five Nights At Freddy’s” may hit theaters sooner than expected. Serving as a continuation of the popular video game horror series created by Scott Cawthon, the movie stars Josh Hutcherson and revolves around a security guard at a pizzeria who discovers that the mascots are possessed by vengeful spirits.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the first movie was a financial success, grossing over $241 million worldwide. Its profitability has paved the way for a sequel, which is slated to begin filming later in 2024. Recent updates shed light on the progress of the sequel’s development, hinting at an earlier return to the franchise.
Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 Release Expected in 2025
Following the box office triumph of “Five Nights At Freddy’s,” lead actor Josh Hutcherson confirmed the sequel’s production, teasing a more terrifying experience than its predecessor. Alongside Hutcherson, Piper Rubio is set to reprise her role as his younger sister, Abby.
Filming for the sequel is scheduled to commence in New Orleans on July 1, 2024. Although specific plot details remain under wraps, Hutcherson has expressed enthusiasm about returning to the set. If filming proceeds as planned, it’s likely that “Five Nights At Freddy’s 2” will debut in theaters by 2025.
Potential Early Completion and Summer Release
Given the swift production pace of the first movie, with release just eight months after filming commenced, “Five Nights At Freddy’s 2” could feasibly wrap up production as early as March 2025. While an official release date is yet to be announced, a summer 2025 premiere could capitalize on the success of its predecessor.
