As the entity named Smile can appear in any avatar, this time we get to see a new protagonist Skye (a pop star) on screen as she tries to rid herself of the curse. The evil force has finally made a new target and as Skye tries to deal with her fame and the demon together, she goes through a series of disturbing incidents.

The role of the new protaganost (a famous pop artist) form Smile 2 will be played by Naomi Scott as she is joined by her co-star Kyle Gallner (resuming his part as Joel).
