Overview
- Troll 2 premiered globally on Netflix on December 1, continuing the 2022 hit that set the streamer’s non‑English film record with 103 million views.
- Director Roar Uthaug and writer Espen Aukan return with stars Ine Marie Wilmann, Kim Falck and Mads Sjøgård Pettersen, joined by newcomer Sara Khorami.
- Uthaug says the production relied almost entirely on real Norwegian locations with minimal green screen, while Netflix boosted resources and expanded dubbing to dozens of languages.
- Early reviews note a shift toward larger kaiju spectacle and lighter adventure, praising scale and creature work but critiquing tonal inconsistency and thinner characterization.
- The story expands the mythology with a newly awakened threat and bigger set pieces, and both Uthaug and Netflix signal openness to a potential third installment.
