Fans of The Strangers will get a first look at the upcoming sequel The Strangers – Chapter 2 during a special MidSummer Scream filmmaker panel on Saturday, August 16. The event will feature never-before-seen footage from the film and provide exclusive promotional items for all attendees.
The panel will be hosted by CBR’s Grae Drake and include director Renny Harlin (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Exorcist: The Beginning), producer Courtney Solomon (After), and producer Mark Canton (300, Den of Thieves: Pantera). The filmmaking team will discuss the process of bringing the next chapter of The Strangers saga to life, along with insights into the returning masked killers.
Set for release on September 26, 2025, The Strangers – Chapter 2 stars Madelaine Petsch (Riverdale), Gabriel Basso (The Night Agent), and Ema Horvath (What Lies Below). Written by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland, the film follows Maya (Petsch), who survives the events of the first chapter—only to face The Strangers again. With their sights set on finishing what they started, the killers will stop at nothing, leaving Maya to fight for her life once more.
