Ho ho, what’s this? More giant trolls stomping about, scaring the tiny humans out of their fragile little boots? Ah, music to my ancient ears! Gather ‘round, younglings, for the latest tale from the lands of Netflix—Troll 2 is coming in the fall of 2025, and it looks like those puny flesh-bundles haven’t learned their lesson yet.
THE FIRST TROLL RUCKUS
In the first Troll movie (2022), some foolhardy humans woke up a colossal stone-skinned mountain beastie in Norway’s Dovre region. What did they expect? A friendly handshake? Bah! Naturally, the troll went on a rampage, smashing things left and right, while the humans—led by that clever paleontologist Nora Tidemann—ran about, waving their tiny arms and screaming. Hilarious! It became Netflix’s most-watched non-English film, proving that you humans do love a good monster tantrum.
WHAT’S NEXT? MORE TROLL TROUBLE, OF COURSE!
In Troll 2, those pesky humans are at it again, trying to stop another big, beautiful troll from stretching its legs. This time, they’ve got new weapons—UV lights! Ah, sunlight, the one thing a proud troll must always avoid (I personally prefer a nice dark cave with a drafty breeze). The Norwegian military will once again try their best to squash the mighty creature, but I ask you—has squashing trolls ever worked? No, no, and NO!
WHO’S MAKING THIS STONE-SMASHING SPECTACLE?
The same human storytellers as last time! Director Roar Uthaug (a name fitting for a troll, if I do say so) and writer Espen Aukan are back, along with producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud. These humans have done a fine job telling troll tales before, so perhaps we shall spare them… for now.
WHEN CAN YOU WATCH THE CHAOS?Mark your calendars (or carve it into a stone, if you’re civilized like me)! Troll 2 is set to smash its way onto Netflix in the fall of 2025.
So prepare yourselves, tiny humans! The mountains will tremble, the forests will whisper, and the trolls—oh yes, the trolls—will be watching. And perhaps, just perhaps, one of them will be ME.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a boulder to nap under.
