Troll 2: Netflix Release Date ‘All The First Looks & Everything We Know So Far

Released in December 2022, Troll became Netflix’s biggest non-English movie of all time, and that remains the case as of 2025 despite big competition from the French film Under Paris, which came close to taking its crown. With a Troll tease at the end of Troll teasing a sequel, we’re officially getting one titled Troll 2, due out on Netflix globally on December 1st, 2025. Here’s everything we know so far.

Directed by Roar Uthaug, the disaster fantasy movie draws on Norwegian folklore and explores what happens when a troll is awakened after being freed from the mountains. Variety broke the news of the sequel order on September 19th, 2023, stating that director Uthaug would return to direct the sequel with writer Espen Aukan and producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud also on board.

At the time, they stated that production would begin in 2024. At its International Showcase in November 2024, Netflix confirmed the movie would be released in 2025. Also, at that showcase, Netflix confirmed that actors Sara Khorami, Jon Ketil Johnsen, Gard B. Eidsvold, Kim S. Falck-Jorgensen, Aksel Almaas, and Trond Magnum would return for the sequel.

Director Roar Uthaug will return to direct the sequel

Shortly after the release of Troll in December 2022, the director and producers exclusively teased us that more could be on the cards. The producers said they “have ambitions to make a sequel and perhaps two sequels, but it all depends on how the audience is responding to [the film].” When pressed, they said, “This has been a great collaboration with Roar and Netflix, and we’d love to do it again.”

The movie’s return should come as no surprise, as it remains Netflix’s biggest non-English-language movie in its history. On both the newer 91-day metric and the older 28-day metric, the movie is the most watched in terms of raw viewing hours:

• In the first 91 days, Troll had 178.600M watch hours (that translates to 103M completed viewing equivalents)
• In the older first 28-day metric, Troll had 155M global hours watched.

Troll 2 Will Arrive on Netflix in December 2025

In January 2025, we interviewed producer Espen Horn on the hit new Norwegian film Number 24, where we got some intel on when Troll 2 will hit Netflix. Horn told us, “We’re in post-production on Troll 2, which is set to release in the fall of 2025.”

Indeed, Netflix confirmed on June 30th, 2025, that the movie would be rounding out Netflix’s movie lineup for 2025 with a release date on December 1st, 2025. The official trailer and new stills dropped on October 21st, 2025, which we’ve included below. Ahead of release, director Roar Uthaug said, “I am thrilled to give the audience a bigger bite of what’s to come. Diving deeper into the mythology of Norse folklore and building this monstrous adventure has been an incredible experience – one that I believe will delight fans and draw in new ones.”

Meanwhile producer Espen Horn said, “We approached Troll 2 with Nordic mythological humility – but quickly caught Nora’s “Hey ho, let’s go” spirit, charging ahead with the Netflix Nordic team as our partners,” with fellow producer, Kristian Strand Sinkerud, echoing those sentiments saying, “From epic après-ski adventures to the kind of wild surprises you would only expect in a Troll film, get ready for some laughs, chills, and maybe even a little mischief!”

What will happen in Troll 2 on Netflix?

After an adventure across Norway, the military and the scientists finally realized that the Trolls are vulnerable to direct sunlight. After making a “troll trap,” they lure him with the skull of a troll baby into an open space. While they decide not to kill the troll with their equipment, the rising sun kills him anyway.

Just before the credits, something appears to begin emerging with a roar from the rubble inside the Dovre mountain cave. Is it the Slain Trolls family or something bigger? Andreas and Nora did speculate that more trolls could still be alive deep inside Norway’s mountains. Thankfully, we’re going to get to find out.

The official synopsis for Troll 2 reads:

“When a dangerous new troll is awakened, unleashing devastation across Norway, beloved adventurers Nora, Andreas and Captain Kris are thrust into their most perilous mission yet. To stop the creature’s ruthless rampage, they must enlist new allies and delve into the country’s ancient history, searching for answers. As the clock ticks and the troll’s path of destruction grows wider, our heroes face impossible odds in their fight to save their homeland from falling into darkness.”
