Smile 2 is coming!

The sequel to the hit 2022 horror film is in the works, and a teaser just aired at CinemaCon 2024.

/Film was in attendance, and provided the first review of the teaser, noting that it focuses on an all-new character – a pop star – “whose glamorous world is about to get dragged to hell.”

After a few glimpses of her pop star performances, the footage then showed a man breaking into her dressing room and smiling creepily at her. She is also confronted by a child with braces who “flashes her a similar malevolent smile.” The reviewer described the footage as “flashier” than the first film.

Smile grossed more than $217 million at the box office on a $17 million budget.

Smile 2 arrives in theaters on October 18, 2024.
