May 24, 2025 — Park City, Utah — A24 has unleashed the teaser trailer for Hereditary 2 (2025), and it’s already leaving audiences shaken and silent — again. Marking the return of director Ari Aster to the nightmarish world he created in 2018’s Hereditary, the film promises a terrifying continuation of the cult, grief, and generational trauma that made the original a modern horror masterpiece.

The teaser — just 70 seconds long — offers no dialogue. It begins in near silence, with the slow, eerie sound of tongue clicking echoing across black screen. Faint chanting begins as the camera slowly moves through a burned-out attic. The old triangle sigil reappears on the floor, this time drawn in fresh blood.

A voice, distorted and calm, breaks the silence:

“The crown has passed. But the vessel is not yet complete.”

Cut to flashes of a young girl staring blankly in a mirror, a mummified figure bound in gold thread, and a flickering candle flame that moves on its own.

The screen cuts to black. Then, very slowly, a smiling face appears — upside down. The sound of distant screaming grows louder before abruptly cutting to silence.

The final text fades in:

HEREDITARY 2 “Long live the King.” 🕯️ Teaser Trailer – 2025

What We Know So Far:

• The film is not a direct sequel, but rather a spiritual continuation, set nine years after the events of the original.

• Newcomer Isla Bryant plays a teenager adopted into a foster home in Utah — a house that just so happens to sit atop one of the cult’s original ritual sites.

• Ann Dowd returns in a flashback sequence as Joan, and Toni Collette is rumored to appear in a vision or possession scene.

• A24 describes the film as “an exploration of purity, power, and the body as a sacrificial architecture.”

Director Ari Aster has stated:

“Hereditary 2 is not about Charlie. It’s about what Charlie left behind.”

The film is set to premiere at Sundance Film Festival 2026, before a wide theatrical release later that year.
