Pixar has officially confirmed Coco 2 is in the works, with a theatrical release scheduled for 2029. The announcement has already stirred excitement among fans eager to return to the colorful, heartfelt world introduced in the original 2017 film.
The original creative team is expected to return, ensuring continuity in tone, storytelling, and cultural authenticity. While plot details are being kept under wraps, the sequel promises to deliver more of what made Coco a modern classic — music, family, emotion, and vibrant visuals rooted in tradition.
Pixar also revealed plans to expand the Coco universe beyond the screen. A major themed attraction is being developed for Disney California Adventure, with construction slated to begin in 2026. This signals Disney’s intent to make Coco not just a franchise, but a cultural mainstay in its parks and storytelling catalog.
The original film was praised for its emotional depth and respectful representation of Mexican culture. It became a fan-favorite and found a lasting place in both Disney history and global animation. Now, with a sequel on the horizon, Pixar is preparing to take audiences back to the Land of the Dead — with new adventures, old friends, and a whole lot of heart.
