The phone is ringing again.
Three years after the global success of The Black Phone, visionary director Scott Derrickson and writer C. Robert Cargill return with The Black Phone 2—a chilling continuation of the story that had audiences worldwide on the edge of their seats. Produced by Jason Blum, Derrickson, and Cargill, and based on the haunting characters created by Joe Hill, the sequel promises to deliver both spine-tingling scares and an even deeper emotional core.
A Returning Cast with New Depth
Four-time Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke reprises what many call the most sinister role of his career, once again stepping into the shoes of The Grabber. Mason Thames returns as Finn, now older but still carrying the shadows of his past. And perhaps most excitingly, Madeleine McGraw is back as Gwen, whose performance in the original film was hailed as “sunshine in the apocalypse.” This time, Gwen takes on an even more central role, showing a strength and presence that cements her as one of the most compelling young talents in Hollywood.
The cast also features Demián Bichir, Jeremy Davies, Miguel Mora, and Arianna Rivas, rounding out a lineup that blends both veteran gravitas and fresh energy.
Where the first film was tightly focused on survival, The Black Phone 2 broadens the scope. While avoiding spoilers, audiences can expect a darker, more expansive mythology that digs deeper into the lingering shadows of The Grabber’s legacy. At the same time, the film doesn’t lose the heart of what made the original so powerful: the unbreakable bond between Finn and Gwen.
Why We Can’t Wait
What to Expect from The Black Phone 2
The original Black Phone became a Blumhouse sensation in 2022, earning over $160 million worldwide and praise from critics who called it “a modern horror classic.” With Derrickson and Cargill once again at the helm, fans can expect the same balance of atmospheric dread, suspenseful storytelling, and character-driven emotion—but on an even more ambitious scale.
From chilling performances to haunting new settings, The Black Phone 2 looks to not only meet but exceed the expectations of fans who fell in love with the first film.
The Black Phone 2 is not just a sequel—it’s the next terrifying chapter in a story that refuses to stay buried. With a powerhouse creative team, a returning cast led by Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, and Madeleine McGraw, and a promise of deeper scares and revelations, this October release is set to be one of the most unmissable horror events of the year.
