The “Black Phone” is ringing again.

Universal and Blumhouse have announced a sequel to the 2022 horror film, “The Black Phone,” set for June 27, 2025. The companies say “The Black Phone 2” is the “launch of a sinister new franchise.”

The original movie starred Ethan Hawke, as a child abductor and murderer called the Grabber, and Mason Thames, a 13-year-old boy named Finney who crosses the killer’s path. The Grabber locks Finney in a soundproof basement, where nobody can hear him or come to his rescue. The only item is the basement is a disconnected telephone that begins ringing. When Finney answers it, he realizes he’s able to communicate with the spirits of the Grabber’s deceased victims. The kids’ ghosts teach Finney how to survive and fight back, and he’s able to escape the Grabber’s clutches in the end.


There is no casting or plot information available yet for “The Black Phone 2.”

Scott Derrickson (“Sinister,” “Doctor Strange”) directed “The Black Phone” and produced along with Jason Blum for Blumhouse and C. Robert Cargill. The cast included Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, E. Roger Mitchell, Troy Rudeseal, James Ransone and Miguel Cazarez Mora. The movie made more than $160 million worldwide and garnered mostly positive reviews. It won the 2022 Saturn Award for best horror film and the 2023 Hollywood Critics Association Film Award for best horror.

Knew this was coming after the first one was a success on a modest budget. I'm for it. I really enjoyed the first one for what it was. It was a lot darker than I expected.
It was really good, but I don’t remember how it ended. I’m going to watch this right now!

I had my kids (7 and 4 at the time) watch this movie so they could listen while in public...told dem they could they be kidnapped if they don't pay attention and listen...the 1st movie did a good job bringing home that message

Messages like that were all over until like the early 90s. It's crazy how the world hasn't really changed with regards to that, but bringing forth awareness for the children have.

This was a surprise sleeper though. I just watched it Saturday during my horror wrap up.

Man foreal...your statement reminded me of all the missing kids posters that use to be at the entrance of Walmart those aren't even posted anymore...and it was a surprisingly good movie makes me wonder about the plot for the 2nd one
