Smile 2 follows pop star Skye Riley as she prepares for a world tour and begins experiencing frightening, inexplicable events. Paramount’s official campaign describes the premise and credits, but it does not reveal the entire film’s plot.

What is the Smile 2 trailer about?

The trailer introduces Skye Riley, a pop sensation facing the pressures of fame and her past as she gets ready to embark on a world tour. Paramount’s official synopsis says that she encounters increasingly frightening and inexplicable events. It sets up the horror without explaining every turn in the story.

Writer-director Parker Finn said he initially saw the pop-star world as far removed from the first film. He told The Credits, “I was curious if I could make it feel cold, frightening, and almost alien.” The Credits interview

The sound is part of that approach. Finn told CBS News, “I love to try to avoid what we might think of as typical horror sounds … I want it to feel fresh and different, so it can get under your skin.” CBS News interview

Is Smile 2 connected to the first Smile?

Yes. The Directors Guild of America describes Smile 2 as the follow-up to Finn’s 2022 film Smile. The official sequel premise shifts the focus to a pop star preparing for a world tour; the available campaign synopsis does not establish additional details about how the supernatural events connect between the films.
