The wait is almost over! Disney’s beloved animal duo, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, are officially returning to theaters in just one month. Zootopia 2, the highly anticipated sequel to 2016’s Oscar®-winning animated hit, promises a brand-new mystery, stunning visuals, and the same humor and heart that made the original a global sensation.
With Ke Huy Quan joining the voice cast as a new character and a fresh soundtrack featuring Shakira and Ed Sheeran, this sequel looks ready to be Disney’s next major animated blockbuster.
Zootopia 2 Release Date and Languages
Zootopia 2 is set to release in Indian theatres on November 28, 2025, exclusively distributed by Walt Disney Studios India. The film will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, ensuring that fans across the country can experience the magic of Zootopia in their preferred language.
The Story: A New Mystery in the Animal Metropolis
In Zootopia 2, rookie officer Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and her sly but loyal partner Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) find themselves caught in another thrilling case that will test their bond like never before.
Their peaceful lives are disrupted when Gary De’Snake, a mysterious pit viper voiced by Ke Huy Quan, slithers into the city and sets off a chain of chaos. As Gary turns the animal metropolis upside down, Judy and Nick are forced to go undercover in unexpected corners of Zootopia, unraveling a complex conspiracy that challenges their trust and teamwork.
This sequel is expected to expand the world of Zootopia beyond the original’s districts — including the Sahara Square, Tundratown, and Rainforest District — introducing new environments, cultures, and species within the animal society.

The Creative Team Behind Zootopia 2
