‘Black Phone 2’ Trailer: The Grabber Insists Dead is Only a Word

The Grabber returns to terrorize Finn in Black Phone 2, the 2025 sequel to 2021’s horror hit The Black Phone. Although Finn thought he’d killed The Grabber, the new trailer shows he’s returned and is now slashing his way through his victims’ dreams.

Mason Thames, four-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke, and Madeleine McGraw reprise their roles as Finn, The Grabber, and Gwen, respectively. Jeremy Davis is also back as Finn and Gwen’s dad, Terrence, and Miguel Mora returns as the brother of one of The Grabber’s victims.

Oscar nominee Demián Bichir (The Nun), Arianna Rivas (A Working Man), Maev Beaty (Beau is Afraid), and Graham Abbey (Under the Banner of Heaven) also star.

“Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber. But true evil transcends death … and the phone is ringing again,” reads Universal Pictures’ synopsis. “Four-time Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke returns to the most sinister role of his career as The Grabber seeks vengeance on Finn (Thames) from beyond the grave by menacing Finn’s younger sister, Gwen (McGraw). As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake.

Determined to solve the mystery and end the torment for both her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to visit the camp during a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber and her own family’s history. Together, she and Finn must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and more significant to them than either could imagine.”

Black Phone 2 opens in theaters October 17, 2025.

Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill wrote the screenplay, and Derrickson directs. Derrickson, Cargill, and Jason Blum serve as producers, with Hill, Adam Hendricks, and Ryan Turek executive producing.
