Just over two months after premiering its remake of the cult classic horror film “Terror Train,” Tubi has released the film’s sequel. A Tubi Original, “Terror Train 2,” introduces a brand new storyline and arrives on the platform today. The sequel pays homage to the festive setting of the first film, which famously took place at a New Year’s Eve party.
Having survived the carnage, Robyn Alomar (Alana) and Tim Rozon (The Magician) reprise their characters in “Terror Train 2,” which takes place over a year after the gruesome, vengeful murders took the lives of multiple college seniors aboard the now infamous “Terror Train.” In the sequel, the remaining survivors are coerced to take a New Year’s Eve redemption ride on the same train, where a new evil awaits, and the terrified passengers must fight again to survive the ride.
“Our remake reintroduced a new generation to ‘Terror Train,’ and now Tubi’s first ever horror sequel expands on the premise with a completely original storyline,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “This new ride aboard the ‘Terror Train’ begins on New Year’s Eve with ‘Final Girl’ Alana and the mysterious Magician facing a new menace in this horror whodunit.”
“Horror-genre franchises have proven time and time again to be some of the most successful film brands,” added Brook Peters, Managing Director and Senior Vice-President, Sales & Production Operations & Executive Producer. “In the sequel, we’re thrilled to offer horror fans a seamless and terrifying continuation of the story that also pays a themed-tribute to the original 1980 cult classic.”
Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin (“Slasher”) return as the writing duo, as does director Philippe Gagnon (“Amber Alert”). “Terror Train 2” is produced by Graham Ludlow and Kaleigh Kavanagh, with Executive Producers Graham Ludlow, Shari Segal, and Brook Peters. The sequel wrapped production in Montreal back in November and will be available in the U.S. exclusively on Tubi on December 31, 2022.
Tubi’s “Terror Train” remake, produced by Incendo, premiered on October 21 as part of the platform’s successful annual month-long Halloween-inspired genre celebration, “Terror on Tubi.” “Terror Train” premiered at #1 on the platform and attracted more viewers than any other movie or series on Tubi through the Halloween holiday.
The original “Terror Train” was released in 1980 and starred the original “scream queen,” Jamie Lee Curtis, as well as Ben Johnson and David Copperfield, and has long been celebrated for its cult classic status in the slasher/horror genre.
Tubi’s “Terror Train” remake and the original 1980 cult classic are also available to stream on Tubi.
