Everything you need to know about the new monster sequel: ‘Troll 2’
If you thought one giant troll destroying a Norwegian mountain was wild, wait until you see what happens when another one wakes up. Yes, people, Troll 2 has officially marked the Netflix return to its biggest monster success, and the energy is different this time.
It looks louder, faster, and far more prepared. The original Troll went global overnight, but this sequel feels like the moment the story stops being an accident and starts being a full-on showdown.
With over 100 million views, the first movie became the most-watched non-English film on Netflix. So now the question naturally becomes: how do you outdo a mountain-sized hit? The answer seems to be simple: you have to raise the stakes. The Norwegian armed forces are back, boasting UV-powered machinery, and the film hints at a threat that feels stronger and more destructive than the creature from last time.
The most exciting part about this sequel is how the tone shifts from discovery to urgency. The first film was about waking something ancient and not knowing what to do next; Troll 2 begins with the danger already in motion. This time, people do not have the luxury of trial and error anymore. The clock is already running, and the monster is already moving.
So before Netflix unleashes another stone-and-earth giant onto your screen, here is everything you need to know about the sequel.
What is the plot of Troll 2?
The sequel picks up after the events of Troll, where Nora and her team barely survived their first encounter with a creature awakened from a thousand-year sleep. This time, a new troll emerges, one that is more aggressive and far less forgiving. As it begins its rampage across Norway, Nora, Andreas and Kristoffer are forced back into action with almost no time to prepare.
Armed with upgraded UV technology and backed by military support, the team must figure out the creature’s origins, its weaknesses and the real reason it has awakened. And they have to do it all while its path of destruction expands by the hour. The film leans deeper into folklore and raises the threat to a level that puts the entire country at risk.
Who’s in the cast of Troll 2?
The sequel brings back the core trio from the first film, which is a clear hint that this story is picking up exactly where things left off. Ine Marie Wilmann returns as Nora, stepping back into the role with even more determination. Kim Falck is back as Andreas, carrying the panic he perfected in the first movie.
Mads Sjøgård Pettersen also returns as Kristoffer Holm, now promoted within the armed forces and thrown straight into another crisis. The film also adds Sara Khorami as Marion, a newcomer whose presence hints at fresh dynamics within the team.
Is there a trailer available?
Yes. Netflix has released a teaser showing the armed forces preparing their UV-powered equipment. The new creature is rising, and the team is bracing itself as the ground shakes beneath them.
When does Troll 2 release on Netflix?
Troll 2 lands on Netflix on December 1st, giving you the perfect excuse to clear your weekend for a giant-creature mess. The platform has kept the date consistent across all regions, so you do not have to worry about staggered releases or waiting for it to show up later in your country.
