After the first Five Nights at Freddy’s movie became a breakout hit, it didn’t take long for Universal and Blumhouse to put a sequel into motion. Building on the massive following of the video game franchise, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 loosely draws inspiration from the second game while carving out its own cinematic path. The follow-up brings back Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, and Matthew Lillard, continuing the story that captivated both longtime FNAF gamers and newcomers.

What Josh Hutcherson Says Fans Can Expect in the Sequel

While fans of the franchise may think they know what is coming next, Josh Hutcherson says this sequel is not simply a direct adaptation of the second game. The filmmakers leaned into new lore, deeper mythology, and unexpected twists to keep audiences guessing.

Hutcherson believes even the most devoted FNAF players, who can usually predict story turns frame by frame, will be caught off guard by where the sequel goes.

Before the film’s release, he spoke about the experience of returning as Mike Schmidt and how the creative team approached expanding the world.
