Sometimes, the scariest thing in the world is a smile. That’s certainly true in Smile 2, the sequel to the popular 2022 horror movie Smile. Now, two years later, Smile 2 is headed to theaters this weekend, with even more creepy smiles that will haunt your nightmares.
Writer/director Parker Finn, who also helmed the first movie, is back, this time with a new story about a woman being tormented by an evil, smiling demon. Naomi Scott stars as Skye Riley, a fictional pop star who is gearing up to go on tour. But you know what can really ruin a world tour? A mysterious evil entity that possesses people and forces them to smile while they kill themselves.
Though it’s mostly a new cast, Kyle Gallner reprises his role from the first film, as a police officer named Joel. Also starring Rosemarie DeWitt, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Raúl Castillo, Dylan Gelula, and Ray Nicholson, Smile 2 is shaping up to be one of the biggest horror movies of 2024. Read on for all the info you need about where to watch Smile 2 and when we expect the Smile 2 streaming release date.
Where to watch the Smile 2 movie:
Smile 2 will only be available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in the U.S. on Friday, October 18. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. Smile 2 is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.
Is Smile 2 streaming on Netflix or Prime Video?
Smile 2 is not streaming on Netflix or Prime Video, and likely will not be on Netflix any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Paramount Pictures release. Almost all Paramount movies go to Paramount’s streaming platform, Paramount+, and not to Netflix.
You will be able to purchase Smile 2 on Prime Video eventually, when the movie becomes available to buy and rent on digital, but you will not be able to stream Smile 2 on Prime Video free with a Prime subscription. If you want to watch Smile 2 movie at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for it to stream on Paramount+.
When will Smile 2 be streaming on Paramount+?
The Smile 2 Paramount+ streaming date has not yet been announced. Right now, the movie is only in theaters. That said, we do expect to see Smile 2 streaming on Paramount+ eventually, but we’re not sure when. Another recent Paramount film, A Quiet Place: Day One was released in theaters on June 28; released on digital platforms one month after opening in theaters, on July 30; and began streaming on Paramount+ about two months after opening in theaters, on August 27.
If Smile 2 follows a similar release pattern, you might see the movie on digital around mid-November 2024, and streaming on Paramount+ around mid-December 2024.
But this is all speculation. If you want to watch Smile 2 right away, you can catch the movie in theaters.
