Troll 2 is being developed by Netflix and director Roar Uthaug, with the sequel to the hit Norwegian monster movie promising to adapt another figure from the folklore of the Fjords into a terrifying cinematic presence. The first movie in Roar Uthaug’s Troll franchise released in December 2022 on Netflix, quickly becoming the platforms move viewed non-English film of all time (via Variety). While the ending of Troll left the door open for a sequel there was little word on Troll 2 for almost a year - until Netflix finally confirmed the sequel was going ahead.

Troll 2 will follow on from the first movie, which follows a group of paleontologists who come face-to-face with an ancient troll in Norway’s Dovre mountains. At the end of Troll it was revealed that the beast finally felled by Nora (Ine Marie Willmann) and Kris (Mads Sjøgård Pettersen) was just the first of many. With Tomb Raider and The Wave director Roar Uthaug once more at the helm, there’s plenty to digest when it comes to the possibilities of what awaits in Troll 2.

Most Recent Troll 2 News

After almost 10 months with little news Netflix finally gave an update on Troll 2 in September 2023. The streamer confirmed that Roar Uthaug’s Norwegian monster movie Troll was officially getting a sequel, and that filming would begin in 2024. While there was little else revealed beyond this, the fact that director Roar Uthaug is returning alongside the creative team behind Troll has already generated a great deal of excitement for the upcoming sequel.

Troll 2 Is Confirmed

Troll 2 is officially happening, with the Netflix greenlight of the sequel to Roar Uthaug’s Norwegian monster movie announced in September 2023 (via Variety). It was confirmed on announcement that director Roar Uthaug would be returning for the sequel alongside writer Espen Aukan. Producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strang Sinkerud will also be returning to work with Uthaug on the sequel to Troll.

Troll 2 Cast

There are no confirmed cast members yet for Troll 2, and the only names attached to the project are director Roar Uthaug alongside his creative team of writer Espen Aukan and producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strang. It’s possible that Ine Marie Willmann and Mads Sjøgård Pettersen will reprise their respective roles of Nora and Kris, but nothing’s been announced yet. If the story focuses on entirely new characters it’s possible that none of names from the original return for the cast of the Troll sequel.

Troll 2 Story

There hasn’t been much confirmed about the Troll 2 story. However, a few plot details have been teased along with the confirmation announcement. It’s known that the sequel to Troll will focus on another Norwegian folklore figure, though it’s not been revealed if this will also be a troll or something else entirely.

The ending of Troll set up a lot of possibilities for the Troll 2 plot. It’s clear there are more monsters inside the Dovre mountains, so the titular troll in the first movie is likely only the first to awaken. That being said, Troll 2 could focus on a different part of Norway entirely, as the entire country has a rich history of local folklore.

Should any of the characters from the first movie return for Troll 2 this could also impact the plot. Kris and Nora discovered that trolls can be harmed by UV light, and managed to fashion a working trap. The dynamic could be quite different in Troll 2 if the story focuses on them again now that they’ve successfully taken down one of the mythical beasts. Whatever happens it seems likely that Troll 2 will be another unique monster movie for Netflix.
