Freddy’s back and he’s bringing more friends in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the sequel to the 2023 box-office horror phenomenon based on the hit game series  by Scott Cawthon. Animatronic horror gets on a whole new level with iconic Freddy Fazbear nightmares debuting on the big screen. 

As the first Five Nights at Freddy’s became a box office sensation, earning nearly $300 million worldwide, producer Jason Blum credits the success to the careful collaboration with original creator Scott Cawthon. “Scott Cawthon is one of the most thoughtful creators I have ever worked with,” Blum says. “He is deeply involved in every part of Five Nights at Freddy’s—the strategy, the business and the creative decisions. What really sets him apart is how connected he is to the fan community. He is constantly thinking about what will surprise them, what will make them happy, and how to honor what they love about the franchise.”
