Josh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Lail Return in 'Five Nights at Freddy's 2' as First Teaser Drops

American actors Josh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Lail are set to return as Mike Schmidt and Vanessa Shelly in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, premiering this December. And what’s better than a first teaser?

Following the highly successful Five Nights at Freddy’s adaptation released in 2023, the sequel is based on the events of the second game, in which two night security guards, Jeremy Fitzgerald and Fritz Smith, must defend themselves from the restaurant’s killer animatronics.

Joining Hutcherson and Lail are Piper Rubio as Abby Schmidt and Matthew Lillard as William Afton, with Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, and Teo Briones cast in undisclosed roles. Filming took place between November 2024 and February 2025.

Since the first FNAF movie, Hutcherson has starred in the action thrillers The Beekeeper, alongside Jason Statham, and Long Gone Heroes, with Frank Grillo. Lail appeared in an episode of Elsbeth and portrayed Tiffany in the Off-Broadway production of Pretty Perfect Lives.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 hits theaters on December 5, 2025.
