Planning to watch Smile 2? The movie definitely got our attention at the start. Paramount has confirmed that Smile 2, the follow-up to the horror movie Smile, will come out. The first movie did well at the box office, making $217.4 million worldwide on a $17 million budget.
Parker Finn will write and direct Smile 2, but no one else has been announced for the cast or crew. In Smile, a psychiatrist sees a traumatic event with a patient and starts to believe that she is being threatened by a supernatural being.
The audience says the movie is quite scary, graphic, and unsettling. It takes ideas from scary movies like The Ring, Truth or Dare, and It Follows. Let’s talk more about the possibility of Smile 2.

Smile 2 Release Date Confirmed
On October 18, 2024, Smile 2 will be released. The second Smile movie will come out about two years after the first one. Like the first movie, it will also be shown in theaters. You’ll be able to stream Smile 2 on Paramount+, which is good news though.
Finn revealed, “There are a lot of exciting things that could be done with Smile, and like I said, there are elements of the film that I left purposely unexplored. [But] the last thing I ever want to do is just directly repeat myself or retread ground that I’ve already gone over.
I want it to feel very unexpected and exciting and fresh in a way that might catch audiences off guard, and make sure that the film has a brand-new bag of tricks up its sleeve.”
What To Expect From Smile 2?
Because of how Smile worked, the story of Smile 2 could go in a lot of different directions. One possible follow-up would be about Joel, who is trying to get away from the demon after seeing Rose die, continuing Rose’s investigation into the Smile curse.
Joel would be under a lot of stress because he only had seven days to live. He would also have a lot of questions to answer because he was the last person to see Rose alive.
But based on what director Parker Finn has said, the next movie could also be a prequel or a spin-off that adds to the world of Smile and horror in general. This means that there are a lot of different ways that Smile 2 could go.

According to reports, a few characters from the initial movie are expected to make a return in Smile 2. We will even get to see the return of new characters. The following actors could be back for the sequel:
