Cast edit

Production edit

In June 2022, Scott Derrickson said that while Joe Hill was protective of his story, the author had pitched him a "wonderful idea" for a sequel that he was open to directing if the first film was a success.[1] In August, Derrickson and Hill confirmed that there were discussions with the studio to make a sequel. Derrickson referred to the financial success of The Black Phone as one of the catalysts for the development of the project.[2] Hill said his inspiration to writing a sequel was based on the "iconic imagery" of the Grabber's masks.[3]

In November 2023, it was reported that Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, and Miguel Cazarez Mora would reprise their roles from the first film. The script was written by Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, with the duo also serving as producers on the sequel.[4] In December, Derrickson was confirmed to return as the director.[5]

Release edit

The Black Phone 2 is scheduled to be released on June 27, 2025.[6]
