At this time, there is no official confirmation of Coco 2 or a sequel to the beloved Pixar film Coco set for release in 2025. The original Coco, released in 2017, was a massive hit, both critically and commercially, grossing over $800 million worldwide and winning the Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. Directed by Lee Unkrich, who has since retired from Pixar, Coco explored Mexican traditions surrounding Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) through the journey of Miguel, a young musician who travels to the Land of the Dead and reconnects with his ancestors.
Speculation about a sequel has circulated online, including fan-made posters and trailers that have sparked excitement, but Pixar and Disney have not announced a follow-up or provided any details on returning to this storyline. While Pixar has previously extended franchises like Toy Story and The Incredibles, the studio is also known for favoring unique, original stories, which may influence their decision on whether to revisit Coco’s world. With Coco’s story so deeply rooted in the family, heritage, and cultural significance of Mexico’s Day of the Dead, continuing Miguel’s journey might involve focusing on different aspects of his life, such as his musical pursuits, rather than returning to the Land of the Dead.
While fans are eager for a sequel, some reports suggest that Disney is developing a Broadway adaptation of Coco instead. For now, it seems likely that Miguel’s story will remain a standalone cinematic tale, cherished for its cultural impact and emotional storytelling.
