Blumhouse Studio has revealed new release dates for three highly anticipated sequels that are headed our way. First up is Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, which will now release in theaters on December 5, 2025.
The first film in the franchise, which is based on the popular video games of the same name, was released in theaters and available for streaming just before Halloween this past year on Peacock on the same day.
The Emma Tammi-directed film was Blumhouse’s highest grossing movie of all time. In other words, so it was no surprise that the sequel was quickly greenlit.
The synopsis for the first film read: “After accepting a security guard job from Steve (Matthew Lillard), Mike (Josh Hutcherson) discovers an abandoned restaurant may actually be haunted by murderous animatronics.”
Next up is M3GAN 2.0, now coming to theaters on June 27, 2025, previously announced about six weeks earlier. Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are back for the sequel, with Akela Cooper (Malignant, M3GAN) once again writing the script and James Wan on board to produce.
Finally, The Black Phone 2, which had been set for theatrical release on June 27, 2025, in the spot now occupied by M3GAN’s sequel, is now set for release on October 17, 2025.
Ethan Hawke will be back as The Grabber, with Mason Thames (How to Train Your Dragon, Incoming), Madeleine McGraw (Toy Story 4, Secrets of Sulphur Springs), Jeremy Davies (Justified) and Miguel Mora (The Black Phone) also set to return.
Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill will be writing and producing the upcoming sequel.
Additionally, Blumhouse and Universal’s The Woman in the Yard will release on March 28, 2025, with Christopher Landon’s thriller Drop coming to theaters on April 11, 2025.
