Black Phone 2 reminds us that death is merely a state of being, nothing too permanent. The official trailer for the film, from Universal Pictures and Blumhouse, showcases a glimpse of how The Grabber may be back this time around and what it means for Finn and Gwen.

Following the blockbuster success of Blumhouse’s 2022 horror phenomenon, which earned more than $160 million worldwide and global critical acclaim, Universal Pictures announces the launch of a sinister new franchise with the release of Black Phone 2. The events of The Black Phone and the subsequent greenlighting of its sequel film left many wondering how the story could evolve from the first film’s climactic ending.

With a new trailer and teaser poster featuring a familiar frost-riddled mask, we get closer to discovering what is coming for Finn and Gwen when Black Phone 2 arrives in theaters on October 17, 2025. A snow covered landscape, an isolated location, and a villain bent on destruction at any cost? These kids are going to have their hands full.

Black Phone 2 | Official Trailer

The phone is ringing again. Following the blockbuster success of Blumhouse’s 2022 horror phenomenon, which earned more than $160 million worldwide and global critical acclaim, Universal Pictures announces the launch of a sinister new franchise with the release of Black Phone 2.

The Cast & Crew of Black Phone 2

  • Ethan Hawke as The Grabber
  • Mason Thames as Finn
  • Madeleine McGraw as Gwen
  • Demián Bichir as the Camp Supervisor
  • Miguel Mora as the brother of one of The Grabber’s victims
  • Jeremy Davies as Terrence
  • Arianna Rivas as the Camp Supervisor’s niece
  • Maev Beaty
  • Graham Abbey

From returning visionary writer-director Scott Derrickson, Black Phone 2 is written again by Derrickson & C. Robert Cargill, based on characters created by Joe Hill. The film is produced by Jason Blum, Derrickson and Cargill. The executive producers are Joe Hill, Adam Hendricks and Ryan Turek.

What to expect from Black Phone 2?

It’s been some time since we entered the world of The Black Phone, and some things have changed. But, as you’ll read in the synopsis, some things may be the same. Starting with that phone ringing once more:

“Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber. But true evil transcends death … and the phone is ringing again. The Grabber (Ethan Hawke) seeks vengeance on Finn (Mason Thames) from beyond the grave by menacing Finn’s younger sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw).

As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake.

Determined to solve the mystery and end the torment for both her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to visit the camp during a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber and her own family’s history. Together, she and Finn must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and more significant to them than either could imagine.”

Death is almost always the beginning in horror, and Gwen’s connection to the other side only becomes more pronounced in Black Phone 2. With her dreams connecting her to the past, The Grabber, and the unknown on paper, Gwen is once again a key link and driving force of mystery-solving in this latest chapter.

Questions will surface, and answers will hopefully be found when Black Phone 2 arrives in theaters this October. What a perfect way to ring in the official month of Halloween!
