The trailer has arrived for the second season of Escape The Night — the Joey Graceffa-starring YouTube Red series, whose premiere episode last year clocked 9.2 million views and 1.1 billion social impressions.
The second season of the series will follow the same whodunit format, except starring a brand new roster of bold-faced influencers, including Liza Koshy, Tyler Oakley, and Jesse Wellens. In the trailer for the semi-scripted project, Graceffa is possessed by an evil sorceress, who invites his friends to a masquerade ball at a fancy estate on his behalf. Co-stars DeStorm Power, Lauren Riihimaki, Gabbie Hanna, Tana Mongeau, Alex ‘Wassabi’ Burriss, Tyler Oakley, and Andrea Russett must solve puzzles and participate in various competitions in order to make it out alive.
