Hutcherson revealed the development of a sequel in January 2024, with Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions officially confirming it three months later. Principal photography began in November 2024 and wrapped in February 2025.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is scheduled to be released in the United States by Universal Pictures on December 5, 2025.[2]
