Paramount+ is adding some horror to the holiday season. Smile 2 will be available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ starting Tuesday, December 3.
The announcement could not come at a better time. In honor of Cyber Monday, Paramount+ is offering discounts on the Essential plan and Paramount+ with Showtime. Both plans only cost $3 per month for the first two months. Starting in the third month, Essential, the ad-supported plan, moves to $8 per month, and Paramount+ with Showtime, the commercial-free tier, increases to $13 per month. This special deal ends on December 4.
Smile 2 stars Naomi Scott as Skye Riley, a pop superstar about to set off on a world tour. However, Skye crosses paths with the Smile Entity, the evil curse that causes people to unleash sinister grins. With the smiles come death, sometimes in the most brutal fashion. Skye’s life spirals out of control, and the only way to survive is to confront her past trauma or face the deadly consequences.
Besides Scott, Smile 2 stars Rosemarie DeWitt, Kyle Gallner, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Raúl Castillo, Dylan Gelula, and Ray Nicholson.

Smile 2 was written, directed, and produced by Parker Finn, the architect behind 2022’s Smile. Producers include Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, Isaac Klausner, Parker Finn, and Robert Salerno.
Released in October 2024, Smile 2 finished first at the domestic box office with an opening weekend haul of $23 million. To date, Smile 2 has grossed over $137 million against a $28 million budget. In a two-star review, Digital Trends’ Alex Welch wrote, “Smile 2 hits higher highs than its 2022 predecessor, but it ultimately does little more or better than its smaller parent film.”
Smile 2 is also available to rent or purchase on digital services.

James Gunn teases Peacemaker season 2, Lanterns, and his next DC project
The new DC Universe (DCU) from James Gunn and Peter Safran will begin next month with the arrival of the animated TV series Creature Commandos. The DCU is nearly a complete reset from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), the previously shared universe from 2013 to 2023. In an interview with IGN, Gunn clarified that everything seen or spoken about in Creature Commandos or any project released after that is canon in the DCU. However, there is one major exception.
Gunn said, “The truth is almost all of Peacemaker is canon with the exception of Justice League … which we will kind of deal with in the next season of Peacemaker." The scene in question happens at the end of Peacemaker season 1, when the Justice League, including Jason Momoa’s Aquaman and Ezra Miller’s Flash, are late arrivals to the fight against the Butterflies.
