Paramount Pictures has released the full trailer for upcoming horror sequel Smile 2 ahead of the film’s release in cinemas in October.

Parker Finn returns to write and direct the film which lands on October 18th.

Naomi Scott, Rosemarie DeWitt, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Ray Nicholson, Dylan Gelula, Raúl Castillo and Kyle Gallner lead the main cast.

The original movie was released back in 2022 to good reviews (read our Smile review). We said of the film: With assured direction from Parker Finn and an electrifying performance by Sosie Bacon, Smile is the perfect way to begin the spooky season. Featuring stellar support from the talents of Kyle Gallner, Kal Penn, Gillian Zinser, and Jessie T. Usher, this horror is a cut above the rest. Made complete thanks to its intensity and constant threat of terror, Smileis going to scare people silly. Add to all this an excellently executed WTF moment, and at least one heart-stopping scare, this film has everything a horror fan could wish for. Smile will leave audiences with a wicked grin on their face, and a stomach full of anxiety riddled knots.

Smile took around $217 million around the world from a reported $17 million budget – that’s big business for Paramount and all involved. It looks like this sequel has bigger ambitions. Very much looking forward to this one.
