A sequel to the popular horror film Five Nights at Freddy's is currently in development, as announced by Universal at CinemaCon. The original movie, based on the video game of the same name and written by creator Scott Cawthon, was a surprise hit despite mixed reviews. It premiered on Peacock and went on to become Blumhouse's highest-grossing opening with $78 million.
The storyline of the first film revolved around a security guard, portrayed by Josh Hutcherson, who finds himself in a perilous situation at a pizzeria filled with animatronic creatures that come to life. Director Emma Tammi hinted at unresolved plot points that may be addressed in the upcoming sequel.
