In “Se7en 2 (2025),” retired detective William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is reluctantly pulled back into action when a copycat killer emerges, mimicking the horrifying crimes of John Doe from the original case. Somerset is joined by a new partner, FBI profiler Olivia Barnes (Zoe Saldana), who brings a fresh perspective to the investigation while struggling with her own tragic past. David Mills (Brad Pitt), now a private investigator and deeply scarred by the events of the first film, is also drawn back into the fold after the killer leaves a taunting message for him.

The killer begins a new string of murders, this time themed around the “seven heavenly virtues,” twisting them into grotesque and ironic deaths. Somerset and Barnes follow the cryptic clues while trying to prevent Mills, still consumed by guilt and rage, from crossing the line in his pursuit of justice.

The final act culminates in a shocking twist: the killer turns out to be someone Mills previously saved, now obsessed with testing the moral limits of the team. In a tense and tragic showdown, Somerset is forced to make a heart-wrenching decision to stop the killer, leaving the survivors questioning whether justice was truly served. The film ends with a chilling reminder of humanity’s dark complexities.
