Record-breaking Netflix movie with 103 million views gets sequel
Sophie-May Williams Published July 3, 2025 11:11am Link is copied Comments It's a big day for movie lovers, as Netflix has dropped the trailer for a highly anticipated sequel. Troll 2 is the follow-up to the wildly popular Troll - a 2022 Netflix movie which became the streaming service's most-watched non-English language movie ever with more than 100 million views to date. But for those who have yet to see Troll, let us give you some background (Picture: Francisco Munoz) Troll follows Nora Tidemann, a Norwegian palaeontologist whose father, Tobias, lost his professorship for his belief in the existence of mythical creatures. However, when a troll reawakens deep inside the mountain of Dovre, Norway, after being trapped for thousands of years, it begins to destroy everything in its path. Thus, proving that Tobias was right all along (Picture: Netflix) As the troll heads to Oslo, with Nora believing he is trying to return home, the government orders an evacuation of the capital. Once the residents have left, they plan to bomb the city to kill the troll. However, Nora convinces the military to rethink their plan after learning that trolls are vulnerable to direct sunlight. Instead of destroying Oslo, she plans to expose the creature to UV rays in a bid to save the city (Picture: Netflix) Following the troll's demise, Norway's population tries to regain some sense of normality. However, Nora is convinced that there are still other trolls out there who may seek revenge after they were wiped out by Christian settlers. During the closing scene, a deep roar is heard inside the Dovre mountain cave, meaning the country still isn't safe. The ending was also the perfect way to suggest that a sequel may be in the works. Three years later, fans will finally be able to find out what happened to Nora - and Norway (Picture: Netflix) As for the trailer for Troll 2, the suspense is real. It seems that Nora and her partner have proven that there are more trolls in existence, and they're seeking revenge. In the last 10 seconds of the footage, Nora is seen standing in snow-capped mountains, being confronted by an angry troll. As she raises a gun to it, another emerges from the snow behind her. Then, the screen fades to black (Picture: Netflix) The trailer has already been viewed more than 700,000 times, with many fans sharing their excitement. 'Nordic folklore is magical, we need more movies about it!' one person penned, as another predicted: 'They're going to eat her, and then they're going to eat the world. OH MY GOOOOOD.' Elsewhere, a third typed: 'Really enjoyed the last one! I'm getting a "let's fight fire with fire" vibe with this one!' while a fourth echoed: 'Absolutely loved Troll… So HYPED UP for Troll 2' (Picture: Netflix) We already know from the trailer that Ine Marie Wilmann, who plays Nora, is back for round two. Other returning characters include Kim Falck as Andreas and Mads Sjøgård Pettersen as army major Kristoffer. Roar Uthaug is also credited as the director once more (Picture: Netflix) At the end of the trailer, it's revealed that Troll 2 will be released on December 1, only on Netflix. Granted, it's not the cheeriest festive title. But given it's set in Norway, and that the trolls literally emerged from the snow, the setting couldn't be more apt (Picture: Francisco Munoz) Ahead of the trailer drop, director Roar Uthaug said: 'I am beyond proud of how audiences around the globe connected with the first Troll film far beyond what we imagined. With the sequel, we are aiming high - expanding the scope, deepening the story, and creating a troll-sized spectacle like you've never seen before. I cannot wait for fans to experience the adventure we have in store' (Picture: Netflix) As for Ine Marie Wilmann, she noted that 'diving into the Troll adventure was incredibly fun the first time around.' She also said she was 'amazed by its global success.' In terms of the sequel, she added: 'It is with great respect and excitement that I embarked on creating the sequel. I hope and believe that people will enjoy more of what they appreciated last time. We certainly had a fantastic time making Troll 2, and we are really looking forward to sharing it with the world.' Finally, producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud revealed what viewers could expect. They said: 'It's always daunting to do a sequel but we truly feel that this time, we've created an even better, bigger, funnier, and more adventurous film - if that's even possible!'

Netflix drops first trailer for new monster movie sequel — and it already looks like a colossal hit
Netflix just released the first teaser trailer for its upcoming monster sequel 'Troll 2,' and it looks like this follow-up to the popular original is taking a 'bigger is better' approach. Consider me sold. 'Troll' hit Netflix in December 2022 and became the streaming service's most-watched non-English language movie, having amassed more than 103 million views to date. A sequel was practically inevitable, and after a few years of waiting, we've finally got a glimpse of it. Netflix labels this a 'teaser', and that's very much the case. The brief trailer is little more than a minute long, but serves as a great mood-setter, and gives us an early look at some of the movie's main players, before ending on a juicy preview of a troll vs troll showdown. 'Godzilla vs. Kong' better watch out, as there's a new titan duo on the scene. The sequel will see several returning cast members, including Ine Marie Wilmann as Nora, Kim Falck as Andreas, and Mads Sjøgård Pettersen returning as army major Kristoffer. Plus, Roar Uthaug is back in the director's chair, so the sequel is retaining its key creative talent. 'Troll 2' is set to arrive on Netflix on December 1, and while it might not be the most traditional streaming pick for the holiday season, I can't wait to see how it unfolds. While our first look at 'Troll 2' may be relatively brief, Netflix has also released new details for the upcoming sequel via Tudum. For starters, we've got an insight into the movie's plot, which promises the core team's most 'perilous mission yet.' Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In 'Troll 2,' Nora, Andreas and Kristoffer are forced into action when a new skyscraper-sized troll awakens and goes on a destructive rampage. With the clock ticking and the monster's path of carnage growing, they face seemingly impossible odds to stop the devastation before it's too late. While it hardly sounds like the most innovative sequel, instead opting to stick to the same path trodden by its predecessor, with a movie like 'Troll 2', really all viewers want is a massive monster smashing thing into the ground below their gigantic feet. And 'Troll 2' looks set to deliver exactly that, so who needs originality when you have titans causing total mayhem? 'With the sequel, we are aiming high - expanding the scope, deepening the story, and creating a troll-sized spectacle like you've never seen before. I cannot wait for fans to experience the adventure we have in store,' said Roar Uthaug. Alongside the returning stars and director, 'Troll 2' is also written by Espen Aukan (who penned the first movie), and Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud are back as producers. As for fresh faces, Sara Khorami is joining the cast as newcomer Marion. The first 'Troll' was well-received by critics and holds an impressive 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, while it was very popular on Netflix, taking the No. 1 spot in both the U.S. and U.K., not all the audience reactions were positive. The movie holds a 50% viewer score on the review aggregate site, suggesting some subscribers weren't so impressed. Either way, 'Troll 2' looks like a monster movie that is going to dominate the streaming landscape when it arrives this winter, and I can't wait to see these larger-than-life creatures return to Netflix. Remember, 'Troll 2' will begin streaming on Netflix globally on December 1. Meanwhile, if winter feels very far away (though with how quickly 2025 is speeding by, the holidays will be here before you know it), here's everything you can watch on Netflix in July 2025.

June 30 (UPI) -- Netflix is teasing Troll 2, the sequel to the 2022 Norwegian hit film Troll, which arrives on the streamer Dec. 1. Ine Marie Wilmann reprises her role as paleontology professor Nora Tidemann. According to an official synopsis, Nora joins a political advisor (Kim Falck) and an army major (Mads Pettersen) to save their country from a rampaging troll. A teaser trailer released Monday shows Nora standing between two giant trolls in a snowy landscape. The original film saw Nora and her father (Gard B. Eidsvold) attempt to stop an awakened giant troll who'd been locked in the Dovre Mountains. "This time, however, they've come prepared with UV light-powered machinery to get the job done," the sequel's official description reads. "Whether that will be enough to stop an enormous creature made of stone and earth remains to be seen." Sara Khorami also stars in the upcoming film. Wilmman told Netflix's Tudum that she was "absolutely amazed" by how well the first film did, which made Netflix's Top 10 list in 93 countries. "It is with great respect and excitement that I embarked on creating the sequel. I hope and believe that people will enjoy more of what they appreciated last time," she said. 2025 United Press International, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
