Black Phone 2: An unexpected sequel to the hit horror flick looks like a must-see

Sequels are always tricky. When you have movies like M3GAN and Black Phone doing big numbers at the box office and generating a fan base, it’s only right studios want to run it back. Black Phone 2? Holy smokes.

The idea sounds unnecessary but once the trailer starts up? Super impressive. Geek out and start the countdown to October.

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.

Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies and Miguel Mora return for the film’s sequel, that will be directed by Scott Derrickson and is written by C. Robert Cargill and Derrickson.

The film will be produced by Jason Blum for Blumhouse, Scott Derrickson & C. Robert Cargill. Joe Hill and Ryan Turek are executive producer. Universal and Blumhouse will present the Crooked Highway Production.
