This time, unlike its predecessor, they’re carrying over the New Year’s Eve setting from the 1980 original.

TERROR TRAIN 2, the sequel to the Tubi remake that debuted just this past October, hits the streamer exclusively in the U.S. on December 31. Once again, it was directed by Philippe Gagnon from a script by Ian Carpenter and Aaron Martin, and the two lead actors return as well, as the official synopsis describes: “Having survived the carnage, Robyn Alomar [Alana] and Tim Rozon [The Magician] will 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 very same train, where a new evil awaits and the terrified passengers must once again fight to survive the ride.”
