💫 Tagline: “When time breaks, survival demands courage.”
The loops are broken. The sanctuary is gone. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children 2: Hollow City (2026) thrusts its characters into a world without protection, where time no longer bends to keep them safe. At first, survival feels impossible. However, amid the bomb-scarred streets of 1940s London, the Peculiars are forced to confront a terrifying truth: hiding is no longer an option.
The war they feared has arrived. And it has found them in the open.
Jacob Portman – From Frightened Boy to Reluctant Leader
No longer running from his gift, Jacob emerges hardened by loss and responsibility. Once afraid of the invisible, he now commands the very creatures that haunted his nightmares.
With each decision, Jacob steps further into leadership — not because he wants power, but because survival demands it. In a world stripped of safety, courage becomes his most dangerous weapon.
Miss Peregrine – A Symbol Without Sanctuary
Meanwhile, Miss Peregrine is trapped and weakened, her once-unbreakable control over time fading. Although no longer a shield, she remains the emotional compass guiding the children forward.
Her strength now lies not in protection… But in belief. Even without her loop, her presence reminds the Peculiars who they are — and what they must become.
Hollow City – When the World Turns Hostile
London becomes a nightmarish maze of rubble, smoke, and fear. As air-raid sirens echo, the city itself transforms into a battlefield where Peculiars and humans collide.
Here, danger wears many faces. Some scream. Others walk calmly among crowds. The illusion of separation collapses as the Peculiars realize the world beyond their loops is far more ruthless than anything they imagined.
Barron and the Evolving Hollowgasts – The Enemy Advances
Under Barron’s merciless command, Hollowgasts evolve into something faster, smarter, and deadlier. At the same time, Wights infiltrate human society, blending in seamlessly as chaos spreads. This is no longer a hunt. It is an invasion. And the Peculiars are no longer prey — they are targets in a war that will not stop until one side is erased.
The Peculiars United – Learning to Fight Back
Stripped of safety and routine, the children are forced to rely on one another. Gradually, fear gives way to resolve. Peculiar gifts once used for survival become weapons of resistance.
Friendship becomes strategy. Loss becomes fuel. In Hollow City, they learn the truth their loops once hid from them: Survival is not about hiding — it is about standing together.
She can’t protect them anymore — but she still guides them.
Themes: Identity, Resistance & Growing Beyond Fear
At its core, Hollow City explores:
- Growing up when protection disappears
- Power discovered through responsibility
- Fear transformed into purpose
- The cost of stepping into a world that refuses to be kind
- Resistance as a form of self-discovery
Ultimately, the film asks: “Who are you when the thing that protected you is gone?”
Final Message – When Time Fails, Courage Remains
This sequel does not offer comfort. It offers transformation. As the city burns and the enemy advances, the Peculiars learn that time was never their true protection — Each other was. The loops may be broken. But the fight has only just begun.
