In Universal Pictures’Happy Death Day 2U, a sequel to the October 2017 release that earned $122+ million on a sub-$5 million budget, directorChristopher Landonreturns to torment lead actorJessica Rothein a nightmarish deja vu sceneario. Rothe returns as Tree Gelbman, a college student who gets murdered, but rather than drift off into the afterlife, she finds herself reliving the last day of her life over and over again until she finds the killer. If you haven’t seen the first film, you should probably avoid checking out the new trailer (or reading any further) because the sequel’s plot picks up fromHappy Death Day’s conclusion.
Yeah, it seems Tree managed to break free of the time-loop cycle, but only temporarily. Now, she’s back in it, along with her college cohorts. A new trailer forHappy Death Day 2Uties up that plot conceit with a neat little bow and showcases Rothe’s range in what feels more like a horror comedy than straight-up sci-fi horror. The film also starsIsraelBroussard,Suraj Sharma, andSarah Yarkinand opens in theaters on June 27, 2025.
