Ethan Hawke's Horror Sequel Hits Peacock This January
The chilling continuation of the supernatural thriller arrives on streaming platforms with returning cast members facing new nightmares.
Peacock subscribers can mark their calendars for January 2026. The streaming platform announced that the supernatural thriller sequel will make its digital debut next month, bringing Ethan Hawke back to terrorize audiences from beyond the grave.
Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw return as Finney and Gwen, two young protagonists who find themselves at a winter youth camp. Their seemingly innocent retreat takes a dark turn as they dig into the mysterious past of The Grabber, Hawke's menacing character who refuses to stay dead.
Camp Nightmares
The winter setting adds a fresh layer of isolation to the story. Finney and Gwen discover that their tormentor has found new ways to reach them through their dreams, creating a psychological battleground where sleep becomes the enemy.
Scott Derrickson stepped back into the director's chair for this follow-up. Working alongside his longtime writing partner C. Robert Cargill, the duo crafted a script that expands the mythology while maintaining the claustrophobic tension that made the original so effective.
Critical Reception
When the sequel hit theaters in October 2025, critics responded positively to Derrickson's vision. The film managed to build on its predecessor's success without simply repeating the same formula.
The streaming release gives horror fans another chance to experience the chills. Peacock's January premiere date positions the sequel perfectly for viewers looking to start the new year with some genuine scares.
