Five Nights At Freddy's Star Josh Hutcherson Teases A Scarier Sequel

As a hardcore gamer who has spent countless hours jumping scares and surviving terrifying nights at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and dread as I anticipate the release of Five Nights At Freddy’s 2. Having lived through the original game, I can vouch for the chilling experience it offered, and the thought of Josh Hutcherson reprising his role as Mike Schmidt in this sequel brings a sense of nostalgia.


As a hardcore gamer last year, I was totally blown away by the movie version of Five Nights at Freddy’s. It turned out to be an unanticipated blockbuster hit! Just recently, they confirmed that a sequel is on the way. Guess who’s back for round two? None other than Josh Hutcherson, playing Mike Schmidt, the night guard in a restaurant where the souls of slain kids reside within creepy animatronic figures. Josh himself has teased us by hinting that not only will we encounter new animatronics in the sequel, but it’s also set to be scarier than the original film! I can hardly wait!

In a recent interview with Esquire, Hutcherson stated that the upcoming project will be more intimidating. It’s larger in scale; the risks involved are greater… More mechanical creatures are being incorporated, along with new types of these creatures, and the scope expands dramatically.

The movie is said to draw inspiration from the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 video game, where we were introduced to new characters like the Puppet and Balloon Boy, along with familiar faces such as Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. Hutcherson hasn’t shared any specific story details yet, but he did hint that it will broaden the game’s universe.

Hutcherson mentioned that they are currently working on striking a balance between developing this world in an exciting manner and ensuring the characters remain relatable. This was a point emphasized by everyone during the production of the first film, as the world depicted in Five Nights at Freddy’s is quite surreal and outlandish. However, to make the characters’ emotions feel genuine was seen as crucial for success.

So far, it has been announced that Hutcherson and Matthew Lillard are among the original cast members who will reprise their roles in the upcoming sequel. The release date for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is set for December 5, 2025.
