Acting as a sequel to the 2023 slasher reimagining of the classic children’s book character, the upcoming horror film will see the titular bear continue his bloody rampage on the town surrounding Hundred Acre Wood with the help of his Tigger friends , Owl and Piglet. Rhys Frake-Waterfield returns as director of the sequel while handing writing duties to Summer 84It’s Matt Leslie.

A few weeks before the film‘s release, Fangoria unveiled a new Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 pictures.

The photos, as seen in the gallery above, offer a closer look at Tigger and Owl’s terrifying arrivals in the upcoming sequel, as well as one of their potential victims, Kelly Rian Sanson’s Mia. Additionally, one of the images offers a glimpse into Christopher Robin’s haunting childhood as a younger version of the human can be seen heading into the forest with a younger version of Pooh.

Blood & Honey 2 appears to correct a Christopher Robin mistake

Although it is part of the story of the first film, namely the initial explanation of why the various childhood characters became evil, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 further exploring Christopher Robin’s childhood would correct his predecessor’s disappointing portrayal of the character. Although it promised a revenge story between Pooh, Piglet and their former friend, the 2023 viral hit instead focused on the animal duo killing young women vacationing nearby.

The first Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is available to stream on Peacock.

With Christopher escaping at the end of the first Blood and honeyIt almost seemed inevitable that the sequel would offer a true revenge story for the group, but both Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 the trailer and new footage seem to correct its predecessor’s lack of focus on it. With teases diving into Christopher’s childhood, including a connection to a potential kidnapping, this could go a long way toward establishing a more sympathetic portrayal of Pooh and his motive for getting revenge on his former friend.

Throughout the development of the sequel, Frake-Waterfield ensured that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 will vastly improve on the poorly received original, and a better expansion of Christopher’s past and his relationship with killer animals would go a long way toward achieving that. While part of the films charm is seeing iconic children’s characters prey on various victims, in order to make its intended shared universe a venerable highlight of the horror genre, it’s essential to improve these elements.
