Disney’s Zootopia 2 is set to hit theaters on November 26, 2025, marking the long-anticipated return of the animated universe that captivated audiences in 2016. Directed by Jared Bush, who co-directed the first Zootopia and contributed to other Disney hits like Moana and Encanto, the sequel promises to expand on the engaging storyline of anthropomorphic animals tackling crime in their diverse metropolis.
In Zootopia 2, the story will follow Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) as they go undercover in a new, vibrant district of Zootopia. This time, the duo must unravel a mystery involving a notorious reptile that disrupts the harmony of their world. The introduction of reptiles brings new dynamics and challenges, with Gary the Snake—voiced by recent Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan—adding an intriguing twist as either a villain or unexpected ally.
