Development and casting

Following the release of Smile (2022), during interviews between November and December 2022, writer and director Parker Finn stated that he had intentionally left portions of the first movie ambiguous, with various plotlines unresolved, while expressing interest in exploring those details in a potential sequel film.[2] The filmmaker stated that while additional installments may explore the backstory of the entity, he would like to keep its mysterious nature intact.[3] He noted that a follow-up movie would be notably different from the first, stating that he believed "there is still a lot of interesting stuff to explore in the world of Smile. ... I’d want to make sure that there’s a new, exciting, fresh way into it that the audience isn’t anticipating. I also want to find some new ways to scare them and unnerve them."[2][3][4]

In March 2023, Finn signed a first-look deal with Paramount Pictures to develop additional horror projects.[5] The following month at 2023 CinemaCon, Paramount announced that a sequel to Smile was green-lit and entered pre-production, with Finn returning as writer and director.[6] In December 2023, Naomi Scott was cast in a leading role.[7] The following month, Lukas Gage was cast.[8] The following month, it was reported that Kyle Gallner would reprise his role as Joel from the first film, and that Rosemarie DeWitt joined the cast.[1] Dylan Gelula, Raúl Castillo and Miles Gutierrez-Riley joined the cast in February 2024.[9][10]

Filming

Principal photography took place from January to March 2024 throughout Hudson Valley, New York, with primary locations in Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Wappingers Falls, Albany and New York City.[11][12]

Release

The film is scheduled to be released by Paramount Pictures on October 18, 2024.[13]
