As of now, there is no official announcement or confirmation regarding a film titled Coco 2: Coco in Love slated for release in 2025. The latest installment in the Coco franchise is Coco 2, which is currently in development at Disney and Pixar studios. The announcement was made by Disney CEO Bob Iger during the company’s annual shareholder meeting in March 2025. While the film is in its early stages, it is expected to be released in 2029. The original creative team, including directors Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina, will return for the sequel, with Mark Nielsen serving as producer.
The original Coco film, released in 2017, followed the story of Miguel Rivera, a young boy who embarks on a journey to the Land of the Dead to uncover his family’s history and pursue his musical dreams. The film was widely acclaimed for its vibrant animation, heartfelt storytelling, and respectful portrayal of Mexican culture. It grossed over $800 million worldwide and won several awards, including two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for “Remember Me.”
While specific details about the plot of Coco 2 have not been released, the sequel is expected to continue exploring themes of family, memory, and music. Fans are hopeful that the film will expand upon the rich world introduced in the original movie, possibly delving deeper into the Land of the Dead and introducing new characters and adventures. Given the success and cultural impact of the first film, expectations for the sequel are high, and many are excited to see how the story will evolve.
In the meantime, fans can look forward to other Coco-related experiences, such as the upcoming Coco ride at Disney California Adventure Park, which is currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2026. This attraction will allow visitors to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of Coco and experience the magic of the Land of the Dead firsthand.
While the wait for Coco 2 may be several years, the continued development of the franchise through various mediums ensures that the legacy of Coco will live on, bringing its heartfelt messages and beautiful music to audiences for years to come.
