Pixar has officially confirmed that Coco 2 will be released in November 2029, following months of speculation. The announcement came at the Disney Entertainment Showcase during D23 Expo 2026 in Anaheim, USA. The sequel will be accompanied by first-look concept art, and the beloved character Miguel, now portrayed as a teenager, will continue his story, accompanied by his loyal dog Dante and his grandmother, Grandma Coco.
The film's release is particularly significant for families in Mexico and across Latin America, as it aligns with Dia de Muertos, a holiday celebrated each year on November 1 and 2. This tradition, deeply rooted in Mexican culture, celebrates the lives of deceased loved ones with colorful ofrendas, candles, and vibrant gatherings. The original Coco film won two Academy Awards and broke records in Mexico, earning US$823 million worldwide.
The creative team behind the original Coco, including director Lee Unkrich, co-director Adrian Molina, and producer Mark Nielsen, will return for the sequel. Benjamin Bratt will reprise his role as the villainous Ernesto de la Cruz. While the voice of the protagonist Miguel, voiced by Anthony Gonzalez in the first film, remains a mystery, the concept art strongly suggests his return.
The announcement was met with excitement by fans, who appreciated the confirmation of the November 2029 release date and the return of key characters. The concept art revealed new scenes featuring Miguel and Dante, as well as emotional reunions with Grandma Coco. This visual glimpse into the sequel has generated buzz and anticipation among audiences.
