The Shallows 2 (2025), the highly anticipated sequel to the 2016 survival thriller, brings Blake Lively back as Nancy, a woman who once faced death at the jaws of a great white shark. Set to release in 2025 and produced by Sony Pictures, the teaser trailer promises an even more intense and terrifying aquatic battle for survival.

The sequel picks up several years after the events of the first film, with Nancy having moved on with her life. Now a marine biologist, she uses her near-death experience as motivation to study sharks and their behavior. Her expertise leads her to an uncharted island in the Pacific, where there have been mysterious reports of shark attacks. Nancy is determined to investigate, hoping to prevent more deaths and understand what’s causing these predators to become more aggressive.

Upon arriving at the island, Nancy and her research team quickly realize that this isn’t a typical investigation. The sharks in this area are faster, more intelligent, and seemingly coordinated in their attacks. As their boat is destroyed and their communication cut off, Nancy and her crew are stranded in the middle of a remote ocean with nothing but a small atoll to keep them above water.
