Disney's Zootopia 2 is a sequel to one of its most popular animated films, 2016's Zootopia. The sequel is set to be released on November 26, 2025, in theatres, and it will most likely be released for streaming exclusively on Disney+ later. Zootopia 2 will follow Officer Judy Hopps and her colleague Nick Wilde as they go on another adventure.
The upcoming film might potentially widen Zootopia's settings in terms of emotional complexity. It will see Judy and Nick on a challenging mission as the city introduces new districts, species, and social issues that threaten to strain their relationship.
The first Zootopia film had an international theatrical release on February 10, 2016, in Belgium. This was followed by its domestic release in the US on March 4, 2016. The film was directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, with Jared Bush as co-director. Zootopia became both a critical and commercial success, earning over $1 billion globally and winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

What is Zootopia 2 about?
Based on the official synopsis, Zootopia 2 starts with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde recalling the historic case of the previous movie. Their alliance is put to the test when a new threat comes in the form of a venomous snake named Gary DeSnake. This leads to the potential disintegration of their relationship as full-fledged ZPD officers.
Snakes are uncommon in Zootopia, and their introduction throws off the balance of their mammal-led metropolis. Chief Bogo (Idris Elba) assigns the duo to a "Partners in Crisis" counseling program to solve their internal strife, and then sends them on a high-stakes mission.
As part of their rehabilitation, Judy and Nick must undergo therapy sessions under the supervision of a quokka therapist named Dr. Fuzzby. Zootopia 2 provides the usual franchise elements while exploring themes of partnership, communication, and change within a rapidly evolving cityscape.
Is there a trailer for Zootopia 2?
The first full trailer of Zootopia 2 was released by Disney on July 30, 2025. The trailer begins with Judy and Nick being forced into couples-style therapy, which doesn't seem to work the way they expected. Dr. Fuzzby is quick to spot Judy's overbearing personality and Nick's emotionally fabricated attitude.
Tension escalates as Chief Bogo presents them with a "make‑or‑break" assignment: if they fail to apprehend Gary De’Snake, their partnership will be terminated. In the second half of the trailer, the visual action gets more intense with chases in wetland regions, sub-surface regions, desert canyons, and mountainous areas.
