The horror world is abuzz once again as Smile 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2022 surprise hit, teases fans with two newly unveiled posters. If you loved the original's mix of psychological terror and unexpected scares, this sequel looks like it's set to raise the stakes even further.
Tickets for Smile 2 are officially on sale, and Paramount has released these posters just in time for the excitement to build. Fans attending early screenings on October 17th will get a chance to grab these exclusive posters at fan events. For anyone who saw the first film, the marketing for the sequel is already living up to its eerie, unsettling roots. The original Smile, directed by Parker Finn, shocked audiences with its menacing grin, grossing $217 million globally—a huge win for a film initially intended to go straight to streaming on Paramount+.
In Smile 2, Naomi Scott leads the cast as pop star Skye Riley, who is on the verge of a major world tour. Things take a dark turn when she begins experiencing terrifying, unexplainable phenomena, forcing her to confront a past she'd rather forget. Fans of the first movie will be pleased to know that Finn has returned to direct and write this sequel, promising to maintain the same dread-inducing atmosphere while pushing the envelope with even bigger scares. Joining Scott are Rosemarie DeWitt, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, and Kyle Gallner.
Produced by Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, Smile 2 looks like it's primed to deliver the same psychological thrills, with perhaps an even more intense and polished execution. If you're a fan of well-crafted horror with sharp storytelling, Smile 2 will be one not to miss.
Make sure to grab your tickets before the haunting begins on October 17th—you won't want to miss the horrors that await.
