Higher Stakes, Massive Scale

With the focus now on global pop star Skye Riley, the stakes are higher, the stage is bigger, and the horrors are more devastating. What better way to experience these nightmares than on the big screen—completely uncut?
What Happens to Joel?
Like all great horror films, the original Smile left us with a cliffhanger. Smile 2 picks up right where the first movie ended, revealing the fate of Joel now that the curse has been passed to him. Fans will discover the shocking truth without delay.
Familiar Faces, Bigger Names
Sosie Bacon’s captivating portrayal of therapist Rose Cotter in the first film was a key factor in Smile’s success. Now, Smile 2 features an even more star-studded cast. While the mind-bending horrors unleashed by the Smile Entity might make some viewers squirm, Naomi Scott, Rosemarie DeWitt (La La Land, Rachel Getting Married), and Lukas Gage (You, Euphoria, Fargo) will keep audiences glued to their seats.
Naomi Scott as Skye Riley, the Pop Star
