News The Strangers: Chapter 2 The Strangers: Chapter 2 Trailer Welcomes Us to Venus The sequel is the second in a planned trilogy, with all footage already shot. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on June 24, 2025 Screenshot: Lionsgate Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Lionsgate Welcome to Venus, Oregon! A small town where a woman named Maya is trying to survive getting maimed and murdered by masked individuals who tried to kill her once (and succeeded in killing her boyfriend), and still want her dead for unclear reasons. That’s the premise of The Strangers: Chapter 2, the second installment in a planned horror trilogy from director Renny Harlin. Lionsgate released another trailer today that confirms that the sequel picks up moments after the first film, where Maya (Madelaine Petsch) is recovering in a local hospital. The masked killers hunt her down from there, and they then apparently go on a road trip to, presumably, Venus, Oregon, where Maya continues to try to survive, both inside a house of some sort and also the great outdoors. Lionsgate also released an in-world website, visitvenusoregon.com, which includes some worldbuilding for those interested in figuring out what makes those masked murderers tick. Some of the site’s pages are locked, but you can open them by providing your email. You can tell from what’s publicly available, however, that Venus is a very religious town, where perhaps everyone in said town is into murdering Maya for ritualistic reasons. Intriguing! In addition to Petsch, The Stranger: Chapter 2 stars Gabriel Basso and Ema Horvath. The script comes from Alan R. Cohen & Alan Freedland. It premieres in theaters on September 26, 2025.
