Continuing the narrative directly from “Never Hike Alone” (2017) and “Never Hike in the Snow” (2020), “Never Hike Alone 2” picks up the tale of Tommy Jarvis, the haunted guardian of Crystal Lake, who has seemingly given up his relentless pursuit of the elusive Jason Voorhees. However, a distress call from injured hiker Kyle McLeod draws Tommy back into the horrifying depths of Crystal Lake, reigniting their deadly rivalry and setting the stage for a gruesome and blood-soaked conclusion.

Caught in the midst of this chaos is Dr. Diana Hill, played by Anna Campbell, who continues her quest for answers regarding her son’s disappearance. Additionally, the unwavering Sheriff Rick Cologne, portrayed by Vinny Guastaferro, remains convinced that Tommy is responsible for the chaos.

Vincente DiSanti takes on the roles of writer and director for “Never Hike Alone 2.” This fan-funded, not-for-profit project is a labor of love for fans and admirers of the Friday the 13th franchise, standing independently from the official series.
