Zootopia 2
Disney officially has Zootopia 2 coming, and after the long wait since 2016. Fans are ready, and Disney must know it too, because promotional stuff for Zootopia 2’s rolling—Twitter, Instagram, trailers, all of it. The buzz gets bigger every week. Even the cast seems excited, talking at panels and teasing at events. Everyone’s got an opinion, with some worried Disney won’t get the same magic, but other fans are just glad Judy and Nick are finally back on screen
Zootopia 2 Release date
The official release for Zootopia 2 lands on November 26, 2025, which is right around Thanksgiving, a time Disney famously likes for family movies. That's not just in the US—the date sticks internationally for most major markets. Pre-release screenings at festivals are possible, but the broad release is the November date. Fans online are already making that weekend’s plans, sharing countdowns and reactions.
On Twitter, Disney Animation shared a post confirming that Zootopia 2 is coming to theaters on November 26, 2025. They highlighted excitement for returning to the world of Zootopia and used #Zootopia2 so fans can catch all new details.
Zootopia 2 trailer
There are already a few official trailers out, launched on YouTube and shown on Disney’s socials. The first one teased a bunch of new faces, including Gary De’Snake—a snake’s a big deal for a city that’s only had mammals until now. The trailer also throws Nick and Judy into “Partners in Crisis” therapy, which looks both funny and awkward. People online noticed the trailer shifting the focus to their friendship struggles, not just another cop mystery.
Here’s one of the official trailers on YouTube, get a feel for the new style and characters:

What to expect in Zootopia 2?
It’s not “just another day in Zootopia” this time. The movie jumps into uncharted territory with the arrival of Gary, a venomous snake. That’s big, since all of Zootopia’s social setup is about mammals, so the snake’s introduction throws everyone off, both plot-wise and thematically. Judy and Nick, instead of being on the same page, are in therapy for partners in crisis, thanks to Chief Bogo, who thinks their teamwork stumbles a bit.
There’s a new district called Marsh Market, lots of semi-aquatic creatures—it’s not the slick city from the first film, but somewhere grimier and closer to the margins. Overall, looks like the sequel wants to keep the heart of the first, but focus more on what happens when a city faces new outsiders and how even friends can drift apart when things get tough.
Where to Watch Zootopia 2?
Zootopia 2 will release first in theaters on November 26, 2025. That’s the only way to watch it for a while—there’s no official digital, rental, or streaming drop before or at the same time as theaters. Disney’s plan sticks to the classic window where the movie runs in cinemas for a couple of months.
If you want to catch new clips, trailers, or behind-the-scenes, Disney Animation’s YouTube and Instagram are dropping those regularly. But the full movie, just wait for theaters first, then Disney+.
