First Trailer: “The Black Phone 2”

Following a series of cryptic teasers with strange imagery, Universal Pictures has now released the first proper trailer for the sequel to filmmaker Scott Derrickson’s critically acclaimed 2022 horror thriller “The Black Phone”.

Mason Thames starred in the first film, a young teenager abducted by a child killer (Ethan Hawke) in a suburban neighborhood and locked in a soundproof basement.

He begins to get unearthly calls on a disconnected rotary phone from his deranged captor’s previous victims, all trying to help him to figure out a way to escape before he becomes the next one.

The sequel sees the killer having seemingly become a Freddy Krueger-style figure who can haunt and kill from beyond the grave and seemingly within dreams.

Derrickson is directing, producing and co-writing the follow-up with C. Robert Cargill, while Jason Blum is also producing.

Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies and Miguel Mora are all confirmed to be returning as well while Demian Bichir is joining them.

“The Black Phone 2” opens in cinemas on October 17th 2025.
