A theatrically-released feature film sequel to "Moana" might seem like a slam dunk to some, but Disney doesn't agree: No such follow-up has ever been announced. As this radio silence has now lasted for years, it's probably safe to say such a sequel isn't happening. This isn't atypical for Disney; while "Frozen" has snagged a sequel of its own, this is an anomaly for the studio's animated features. In this light, the lack of a "Moana" sequel is entirely expected.
This does not, however, mean that "Moana" won't be getting a different kind of follow-up. In fact, one is confirmed: A "Moana" animated series was announced in 2020, and is slated to hit Disney+ in 2024. It will be a musical, and is reportedly of tip-top quality.
The series isn't the only project headed our way, either: A live-action remake of "Moana" was announced in April 2023. As Dwayne Johnson revealed in an announcement video posted to YouTube, the hit movie's songs, characters, and plotline will all be present in this remake, as well as many of its stars, including Johnson himself. This take on "Moana" is poised to become Disney's first live-action remake of a movie released after 2000, and is slated to hit theaters on June 27, 2025.
