The Black Phone caused some division and stirs among horror fans for quite a few reasons. But one thing that people cannot deny is how darn creepy Ethan Hawke was as The Grabber, a 1970s era child abductor and murder who wears frightening masks. He is a classic boogeyman for sure. Either way, the film did well enough that Universal Pictures and Blumhouse are giving us a sequel to The Black Phone. For now, it is being called The Black Phone 2 and has a growing cast as well as a spooky release date.
The Black Phone 2’s Cast and Crew
The Black Phone‘s original cast will all return for its sequel, which includes Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, and Miguel Mora. In addition to them, Deadline reports that Demián Bichir will join The Black Phone 2’s cast as well. His face is pretty familiar to horror fans from films like The Grudge (2020), The Nun (2018), and Alien: Covenant (2017). Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill will also return to write The Black Phone 2.
The Black Phone 2’s Release Date
The Black Phone 2’s release date is currently October 17, 2025.
