The renowned director, Parker Finn, returns with “Smile 2”, the sequel to one of the most successful horror films of the 2020s. Finn, who was relatively unknown until a few years ago, gained significant recognition when “Smile” premiered in theaters in 2022. Originally intended for a Paramount+ release, the studio wisely opted for a theatrical release. “Smile” became one of the most successful original films during the pandemic, setting the stage for its sequel, which is also slated for a theatrical release. A question on many viewers’ minds is, does the terror end when the credits start to roll, or is there more?
Post-credits scenes have become fairly standard in franchise filmmaking, largely due to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the horror genre is not excluded from this trend. So, is Paramount planning to tease “Smile 3” with a post-credits scene? Or will Finn be too preoccupied with his “Possession” remake to make that happen? We aim to provide a spoiler-free answer to this question, so viewers can be fully prepared once the theater lights dim. Rest assured, there will be no spoilers whatsoever. Let’s delve into it.
Does Smile 2 include any post-credits scenes?

Let’s cut to the chase – “Smile 2” does not include any post-credits scenes. The film is self-contained, and all of Finn’s storytelling occurs before the credits start rolling. So, those who need to rush to the lobby for a restroom break can do so without worrying about missing any additional content.
The sequel primarily revolves around a fresh cast led by Naomi Scott of “Aladdin” fame, who portrays a pop star grappling with the curse that haunted Sosie Bacon in the first film. Rosemarie DeWitt from “The Boys” and Lukas Gage of “Down Low” also feature, with Kyle Gallner reprising his role from the original. Critics have warmly received the sequel, with /Film’s Chris Evangelista rating “Smile 2” as a “non-stop spookshow” in his 7 out of 10 review. What can viewers expect this time? Here’s the official synopsis:
Global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is about to embark on a new world tour. She starts experiencing increasingly horrifying and unexplainable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating terrors and the pressures of stardom, she must face her dark past before her life spirals uncontrollably.
“Smile 2” is set to hit theaters on October 18, 2024.
