The D23 Expo delivered a wave of major announcements this year from Marvel unveiling its new X‑Men cast to dropping the explosive Avengers: Doomsday trailer. But one reveal sparked a surge of nostalgia: Disney and Pixar have officially confirmed ‘Coco 2’, set to hit theatres in November 2029.
Fans of the beloved 2017 film have waited years for news of a sequel, and now it’s finally happening. Disney confirmed that Lee Unkrich, director of the original Coco, will return to helm the second chapter. Adrian Molina, who co‑directed and co‑wrote the first film, is also attached to the project a creative reunion that has already boosted excitement across the fandom.
The original Coco followed Miguel, a young boy determined to pursue music despite his family’s long‑held ban. His journey into the Land of the Dead, sparked by stealing Ernesto De La Cruz’s guitar, became one of Pixar’s most emotionally resonant stories. The film was a global triumph, earning USD 800 million at the box office and becoming a cultural phenomenon upon its digital release.
With the sequel now officially on the calendar, anticipation is building for what new adventure awaits Miguel and the vibrant world inspired by Día de los Muertos. Disney has yet to reveal plot details, but the return of the original creative team suggests fans can expect another heartfelt, visually stunning journey.
