ComingSoon Senior Editor Brandon Schreur spoke to Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 star Matthew Lillard about the horror sequel movie. Lillard discussed what fans can expect from William Afton in the new movie, their plans to make Five Nights at Freddy's 3, how he got involved with Scream 7, and more.

“One year has passed since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza,” the official synopsis reads. “The stories about what transpired there have been twisted into a campy local legend, inspiring the town’s first-ever Fazfest. Former security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and police officer Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) have kept the truth from Mike’s 11-year-old sister, Abby (Piper Rubio), concerning the fate of her animatronic friends. But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy’s, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades.”

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 will be released in United States theaters on December 5, 2025, by Universal Pictures.
