Smile 2 trailer, starring Naomi Scott, terrifies with jump scares galore
Scott plays new character Skye Riley in the horror sequel.
When horror film Smile first debuted in 2022, it defied expectations, proving to be a breakout hit and making over $200 million dollars.
It was also well received critically, scoring 80 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes. Unsurprisingly, a sequel, Smile 2 is now on the way – and we've got our first look at it in a newly released trailer.
The first film ended with protagonist Rose falling victim to the curse and burning herself alive, apparently passing it on to her ex-boyfriend Joel, played by Kyle Gallner.
This second instalment follows new character Skye Riley, a pop star who, in the trailer, we see coming under the curse herself.

Gage recently spoke about filming the movie, saying on SiriusXM that he was "genuinely afraid" while on the set.
"It's so terrifying," he said. "It was the first time I've ever been on a set where I was genuinely afraid, and I actually got sick to my stomach in one take. I didn't think I would. I just, it was so gory and so disgusting... I vomited off-camera."
He continued: "It's legitimately that scary. I'm not even just lying. I've never been on something that truly terrified me. The crew is terrified filming because, I don't know, (writer/director) Parker Finn knows that genre so well."
Smile 2 will be released in cinemas on 18th October 2024. Smile is now streaming on Netflix – sign up from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
