Get ready to travel to Norway for another monstrous adventure.
Following the smashing success of Troll, which became the most popular non-English language film on Netflix with 103 million views when it was released in 2021, Troll 2 finds the Norwegian armed forces facing a new threat. This time, however, they’ve come prepared with UV light-powered machinery to get the job done. Whether that will be enough to stop an enormous creature made of stone and earth remains to be seen.

In Troll, which is based on Norwegian folklore, a project to build a railway through the Dovre Mountains awakens a sleeping giant who’s been in captivity for a thousand years. With the massive creature destroying everything in its path, the government calls in paleontology professor Nora Tidemann (Ine Marie Wilmann). She, along with her father (Gard B. Eidsvold) and a ragtag band of assistants, attempt to figure out what is causing this mayhem and how to stop it before it reaches Oslo.
Troll 2 picks up with an all-new threat. When a dangerous new troll wakes up and goes on a rampage, our heroes Nora, political advisor Andreas Isaksen (Kim Falck), and former army captain — now a major — Kristoffer Holm (Mads Pettersen) are faced with their most perilous mission yet. The clock is running out as the monster’s path of destruction widens and they must overcome impossible odds to save their homeland from falling into darkness.
The sequel is helmed by the same creative team, including director Roar Uthaug, writer Espen Aukan, and producers Espen Horn and Kristian Strand Sinkerud from Motion Blur.
“Making Troll was a lifelong dream come true, and the reception our Norwegian movie has received around the world has been unbelievable,” Uthaug told Netflix of the first film, which appeared in the Top 10 in 93 countries, and shot to No. 1 in Norway, the US, and the UK. “I am beyond excited that we now get to embark on the next journey of this great adventure.”
Horn and Sinkerud added, “We are thrilled to bring Troll 2 to life, again spinning on a Norwegian fairy-tale figure played, directed, and produced by Norwegians.”
The cast for the new film includes:
