After a lot of speculation and a few rumours, the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie adaptation is officially getting a sequel.
Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions first announced the news during CinemaCon, which is currently being held in Las Vegas, this week.
In a subsequent post on social media platform X, Blumhouse confirmed the next film will be released sometime in the autumn of next year, but no exact date was given.
At the time of writing, there are no further updates on plot details or returning cast members. That being said, actor Matthew Lillard – who played career counselor Steve Raglan in the first film – previously expressed his hope for a sequel, telling Screen Rant: “It’s definitely nice to know that if they’re going to make a sequel, the line’s, ‘I always come back’. That’s part of the IP, so I am always coming back.”
