Lionsgate Sets September 2026 Release for Survival Thriller 'Fall 2: Deadpoint'

Lionsgate has officially unveiled the trailer and release details for 'Fall 2: Deadpoint,' the highly anticipated sequel to the 2022 sleeper hit 'Fall.' While the original film focused on two friends stranded atop a remote radio tower, the sequel shifts the setting to the unpredictable terrain of Thailand. The plot follows a new pair of protagonists who find themselves trapped 11,000 feet in the air, forced to navigate extreme exposure and physiological distress in a desperate bid for survival.

The film features a fresh ensemble cast, including Harriet Slater ('Outlander: Blood of My Blood'), Arsema Thomas ('Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story'), and Tom Brittney ('Grantchester'). Behind the camera, the project is helmed by the Spierig brothers, known for their work on 'Jigsaw' and 'Predestination,' while the screenplay is penned by Jonathan Frank and Scott Mann, the latter of whom directed the original installment. The trailer emphasizes the franchise's signature focus on vertigo-inducing cinematography and high-stakes tension.

The success of the first 'Fall' film, which gained significant traction through word-of-mouth and streaming, highlights a growing audience appetite for contained, high-concept survival thrillers. By expanding the scope to international locations and introducing new survival variables, Lionsgate is clearly aiming to capitalize on the visceral, 'edge-of-your-seat' experience that made the original a viral success. With a theatrical release scheduled for September 2, 2026, the studio is positioning the film as a major event for fans of the genre.
