Horror fans, rejoice. The Grabber (Ethan Hawke) will return to terrorize more children in Blumhouse's "The Black Phone 2." Furthermore, some of the first film's main cast members are coming back for the frightening festivities.
According to Deadline, Hawke will reprise the role of the creepy, mask-wearing, child-abducting villain from the first movie. Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, and Miguel Mora are also set to return for "The Black Phone 2," playing Finney, Gwen, Terrence, and Robin, respectively. That said, it remains to be seen what's in store for their characters.
Plot details about the sequel are being kept under wraps for now, but the casting announcements give us a good idea of what to expect in "The Black Phone 2."
Of course, it's entirely possible that the serial kidnapper survived the ordeal and will set out to wreak more havoc on Finney and his allies. At the same time, the first movie contains many supernatural elements, meaning that Finney and the gang might have to contend with the Grabber's vengeful spirit.

Back in October 2023, Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions announced that The Black Phone 2 will be receiving a theatrical release on June 27, 2025, marking the “launch of a sinister new franchise.” Soon after, it was revealed that the sequel will see the return of Mason Thames (How to Train Your Dragon) as Finney Shaw, Madeleine McGraw (Secrets of Sulphur Springs) as Finney’s sister Gwen, Jeremy Davies (Justified) as their dad Terrence, and Miguel Mora, whose only previous credit is The Black Phone, as Robin, a friend of Finney’s who was killed in the first movie. Plus, yes, Ethan Hawke (Moon Knight) will be reprising the role of the child-killer known as The Grabber. The Black Phone director Scott Derrickson had said he would only return for a sequel if Hawke did as well… and after Hawke was confirmed to be returning, we learned that Derrickson will indeed be directing The Black Phone 2. The fact that The Grabber will be back in the sequel is surprising to some viewers – but it’s not a surprise to author Joe Hill, who wrote the short story The Black Phone was based on.
Hill wrapped up his version of the story in just a handful of pages, but he told ComicBook.com that he suspected The Grabber would be around for more than one movie when he saw the mask the character would be wearing. Hill said, “As soon as I saw the mask, which was designed by Tom Savini and Jason Baker, as soon as I saw the mask I thought, “If this film is a hit, there’ll be a sequel,’ because the mask is so iconic. It is like Freddy Krueger’s glove, it is like Michael Myers’ mask, it is this thing where it’s the imagery, iconic imagery, that haunts people’s sleep. And, look, in horror, guys like Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger, and Frankenstein, and Dracula, none of these guys stay buried. They all claw their way out of the grave for a sequel and then a threequel.”
