The trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, released by Universal Pictures and Blumhouse, opens with an eerie return to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, described as the “original location,” abandoned for decades. The visuals evoke a decaying, atmosphere, hinting at dark secrets tied to a past tragedy—a child’s murder at the original pizzeria. The dialogue establishes a new setting, distinct from the franchise locations, setting a foreboding tone.
One year after the events of the first film, Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) discuss their attempts to move on, while protecting young Abby (Piper Rubio) from the truth about her animatronic “friends”—Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. Abby, however, misses them, and her longing drives the plot as she seeks to reconnect. The trailer builds tension with unsettling whispers and glimpses of the animatronics, suggesting they’re no longer confined to Freddy’s. Voices plead, “Abby, help us,” and “Come find us,” hinting at supernatural forces calling her to uncover hidden truths.
The trailer escalates with chaotic scenes of the animatronics unleashed, described as being “everywhere,” accompanied by a surge of suspenseful music. Mike’s desperate attempts to protect Abby collide with skepticism about repairing the animatronics, labeled as “false hope.” New characters, including those played by Freddy Carter, Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, and Skeet Ulrich, are briefly introduced, adding fresh dynamics to the horror. Returning cast members like Matthew Lillard as William Afton and Theodus Crane as Jeremiah deepen the connection to the first film’s lore.
The trailer emphasizes a new chapter of terror, teasing revelations about Freddy’s origins and a long-buried horror resurfacing. It concludes with a sense of inescapable dread, setting the stage for the film’s December 5, 2025, theatrical release.
