Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025), the haunted-animatronic horror sequel, runs 104 minutes (1h 44m). It has two end-credits tags and is available in theaters, on Peacock streaming, and on digital and disc. IMDb lists the 104-minute time in the IMDb showtimes listing, about six minutes shorter than early 110-minute listings. That gap changes late-night planning, transit connections, and sitter time.

How long should you plan for?
The listed running time is 104 minutes without trailers, ads, or clean-up time. Plan about two hours and 15 minutes door to door for a theatrical show.
Universal Pictures released the film in the U.S. on December 5, 2025, after a December 2 premiere at TCL Chinese Theatre. Director Emma Tammi returns for this second entry, so expect a similar pace to a standard studio horror feature.
Should you stay through the credits?
Yes. Stay to the very end because the film has one mid-credits scene and one final audio-only tag.
ComingSoon describes both tags in its end-credits breakdown, which tease Springtrap and the Marionette and point toward a possible Part 3. The last beat is sound only, so listen after the picture goes dark and do not leave during the full crawl.
Who can go?
In the U.S., the MPA rated the film PG-13 for violent content, terror, and some language. That rating fits teen game fans ages 13 and older but bars younger children without a parent. In the U.K., the BBFC set a stricter line at 15 for strong threat and horror.
That classification limits U.K. cinema admission more than the U.S. rating, so U.K. families should check ID rules before booking.
Where can you watch it?
Unlike the first film's same-day Peacock debut, the sequel had an exclusive theatrical window. GameSpot reports the Peacock streaming start as April 3, 2026 in its streaming-date report, which matters for cord-cutters. For ownership, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment set digital purchase and rent for December 23, 2025, then 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD for February 17, 2026, according to Bloody Disgusting in its home-release report.
- Theaters: best for opening-week crowds and large-screen sound
- Peacock: easiest for subscribers after April 3, 2026
- Digital or disc: best for rewatching, bonus hunting, and no subscription
Which version gives you the most?
The retail combo packs 4K UHD with Blu-ray and Digital, with Dolby Vision, HDR10, and Dolby Atmos audio listed for compatible setups. Peacock adds more than 40 minutes of behind-the-scenes extras, according to Amazon and Bloody Disgusting.
