‘The Strangers: Chapter 2’ Trailer – Chapter 1’s Final Girl Returns for ‘Halloween II’ Style Sequel

Just over one year after The Strangers: Chapter 1 kickstarted a new trilogy of terror tales, Lionsgate is getting set to unleash The Strangers: Chapter 2 in theaters on September 26.

Watch the official trailer for The Strangers: Chapter 2 below, which takes a Halloween II-style approach by continuing the survival story of Madelaine Petsch’s final girl, Maya.

And much like Halloween II, this Chapter 2 is also set inside a hospital. The upcoming film will also further explore the mysterious town of Venus, Oregon, and the official trailer suggests that we may be learning more about the masked killers and why they do what they do.

Then again, as one character remarks, “Does there have to be a why?” That’s been the M.O. of The Strangers from the beginning, with the lack of a motive exemplifying the chilling pointlessness of the horror on display in Bryan Bertino’s terrifying original movie.

Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Deep Blue Sea) directed both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, as well as the upcoming The Strangers: Chapter 3.

Here’s the official synopsis: “The Strangers are back – more brutal and relentless than ever. When they learn that one of their victims, Maya (Madelaine Petsch), is still alive, they return to finish what they’ve started. With nowhere to run and no one to trust, Maya must survive another horrific chapter of terror as The Strangers – driven by a senseless, unceasing purpose – pursue her, more than willing to kill anyone who stands in their way.”

Gabriel Basso and Ema Horvath also star in The Strangers: Chapter 2. Alan R. Cohen & Alan Freedland wrote the sequel’s screenplay, with producers including Courtney Solomon, Mark Canton, Christopher Milburn, Gary Raskin, Alastair Burlingham, and Charlie Dombek.

Unleashed into theaters in May 2024, Chapter 1 wasn’t a hit with critics, but it did manage to scare up $47 million worldwide, outgrossing 2018’s The Strangers: Prey at Night ($31 million).
