See, horror games love one thing above all else: putting extremely attractive people in life-threatening situations and asking us to recover from it. till 2 a.m. is continuing that tradition. The sequel's cast is stacked with Netflix stars, horror veterans, gaming icons, and at least a few people who look like they've already lived in a haunted forest once.
We still know basically nothing about the actual plot, which honestly feels very on brand for a game built around mystery and making the worst possible decisions under pressure, but the cast alone already says a lot about the vibe of the sequel. So before we all inevitably get attached to the characters we'll try to spend ten hours trying to keep alive, here's every actor confirmed for Tool Done 2 and what you'll find out about them.
Andy Ju
Andy is best known for Zoo Beef, which means he already has experience living through deeply stressful situations caused by other people making terrible decisions. Great preparation for the morning.
Her performance in Beef stood out because she felt incredibly grounded amidst all the escalating mayhem, which is exactly the kind of energy horror ensembles desperately need. Instead of immediately running to a dark basement after someone hears something strange, one should react to frightening events like a real person.
16 Celebrities Who Play Dungeons & Dragons
Matt Mercer, Joe Manganiello, and Ashley Johnson are some of the famous faces who love to slay some dragons.
Tanner Buchanan
Tanner Buchanan became a breakout star through Cobra Kai, where he spent several seasons fighting people, having breakdowns, and managing to do both at the same time.
He also appeared in He's All That, proving that he can survive in modern teen drama, which can be tougher than surviving a horror game. Buchanan has that very specific 'looks good while actively tense' energy that feels genetically engineered for interactive horror.
Janina Gavankar
Janina Gavankar has one of those careers where every time you look at her, you realize that she is somehow into everything. True Blood, The Morning Show, yes, Star Wars Battlefront 2.
She has worked so consistently in sci-fi, fantasy, action, horror, and prestige television that her inclusion immediately makes the cast feel more serious. Plus, he naturally has that sense of someone who knows more than anyone else in the room, which is always valuable in horror media.
Sarah Catherine Hook
Sarah Catherine Hook has become one of the most popular rising names in modern horror and thriller television. Between First Kill and The White Lotus, she's built a strong reputation for performances that feel polished and slightly uncomfortable.
She has an unbelievably-bad-what-is-going-to-be-all-about-this-holiday energy, which White Lotus fans will totally understand.
Jia Kim
Jia Kim debuted through XO, Kitty, where she quickly became a fan favorite thanks to her charisma and complex social dynamics. Which, if I'm being honest, is basically the entire premise of Until Dawn as a franchise.
Half the tension in these games comes from the monsters. The other half comes from attractive young adults making eye contact when someone says something devastating in the cabin.

Hannah Keppel
Another Cobra Kai alum, Hannah Keple is best known for playing Moon, one of the few characters on the show who felt consistently functional.
That alone honestly makes him overqualified for a horror game. Keppel has a very natural, likable screen presence that helps the audience quickly connect with the characters, which is dangerous in a game where survival is not guaranteed.
Gavin Leatherwood
Gavin Leatherwood became a breakout favorite in the chilling Adventures of Sabrina, where he played Nicholas Scratch, described as one of television's most aggressively charming supernatural villains.
Leatherwood already feels horribly creepy. He has experience with dark fantasy, emotionally disturbed casts, cursed environments, and scenes lit entirely by ominous blue light. At this point, Morning By Dawn honestly just feels like a natural career progression.
Raymond Lee
Raymond Lee is best known for leading the Quantum Leap reboot, where he had to bounce between sci-fi, emotional drama, comedy, and existential crisis on a weekly basis.
He also appeared in Top Gun: Maverick, which means he officially joins the very special ranks of actors who have gone from military jet to potentially supernatural terror. A surprisingly flexible resume path.
Dacre Montgomery
Dacre Montgomery has already mastered the art of always looking deep through his role as Billy in Stranger Things.
Seriously, before the supernatural monsters show up, Billy walks around like he personally knows where the creepy soundtrack is coming from. Montgomery basically brings an intensity to every role he plays, making him feel almost scientifically designed for Dawn.
He was also the Red Ranger in the 2017 Power Rangers movie, giving him experience in both volatile drama and massive CGI chaos. Very transferable skills.
Spencer Moore II
Spencer Moore II has continued to make a name for himself with projects like Brilliant Minds and All American: Homecoming.
Compared to some of the louder figures in the cast, Moore tends to bring a more grounded and understated performance style, which is essential in horror stories. If every character is acting immediately in maximum panic, the whole thing collapses. You need at least one person whose evening has been really uncomfortable to react to the haunted situation with energy.
