Josh Hutcherson, who starred in one of 2023 biggest releases - the horror video game adaptation Five Nights At Freddy's, confirmed that a second season of the film is at the works. The film which saw the actor play the character Mike Schmidt, earned more than $250 million at the box office. 

“I know they’re in the process right now of nailing down the story, and they want to get going as soon as possible,” Hutcherson, who is currently on the press circuit for his upcoming movie, The Beekeeper, old Variety. “Obviously, the fans are amazing and die-hard. For me to be a part of it was so cool and phenomenal.

“We hoped it would connect with audiences,” he continued. “But I don’t think that anybody, even on our side of things, expected it to really connect the way that it did. I’m dying to get back on set. Emma Tammi, our director, was fantastic, and it was such a fun world to play in. I’m excited to see what they are doing next.”

Five Nights at Freddy’s is the first live-action adaptation of the hugely popular video game series that has become a merchandising monolith over the years.

The film is adapted from the video game series of the same name created by Scott Cawthon.
