The Five Nights at Freddy’s film will likely release in 2024. Although the movie doesn’t currently have an official release date, Blumhouse Productions (via Deadline) has confirmed that production is finally due to start in February 2023 under new director Emma Tammi. This should put the horror movie in line for a 2024 release.

- Matthew Lillard as William Afton
- Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt
- Piper Rubio as Abby Schmidt

It was recently confirmed that Matthew Lillard (Scooby Doo) and Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) would star in the movie. Lillard plays Afton, the serial killer who kicks off the events in the whole FNAF series. Hutcherson is Mike Schmidt, the poor security guard from the first game, who gets sucked into the nightmare.

Is there a Five Nights at Freddy’s movie trailer?
There is not currently a trailer, only a single teaser image.
What is the FNAF plot about?

Security guard Mike Schmidt (Hutcherson) picks up a late-night job at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, only to discover that the animatronics come to life at night. It is currently unknown how the other characters fit into the story.
