Encanto 2 is an upcoming American animated film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures, and is a sequel to Encanto (2021).
Development
Encanto (2021) directors Jared Bush and Charise Castro Smith said they were open to a potential Disney+ series based on the film. Bush stated he would be happy to see a show about any member of the family and Castro Smith shared that Lin-Manuel Miranda was very interested in creating a show about Dolores Madrigal.[1] Then–Disney CEO Bob Chapek described Encanto as the company's latest franchise during a February 2022 earnings call.[2] However, Miranda revealed in December 2024, three years after the film's release: "We haven't talked about any Encanto sequels".[3]
On March 19, 2025, John Leguizamo, who provided the voice of Bruno Madrigal in Encanto, informed a representative for People magazine ahead of the Broadway performance of the Buena Vista Social Club that he was "calling them [Disney] everyday" about the potential for a sequel and that the storyline was being worked on.[4]
