Pixar and Disney confirm “Coco 2” will be released in theaters in November 2029, with a first-look reveal at the D23 Expo 2026. Both outlets report that the presentation includes new concept art and indicates the story picks up with Miguel in the Land of the Dead.
Variety and The Rio Times describe the first-look imagery as showing Miguel as a teenager and include references to Dante. The outlets also state that Disney/Pixar share additional details alongside the release date, with The Rio Times further noting Benjamin Bratt’s return. While the coverage focuses on the same D23 announcement and visuals, it differs slightly in emphasis: Variety spotlights the character change to a teen Miguel and Dante, while The Rio Times adds audience-oriented context and highlights Bratt’s involvement.
Neither outlet provides plot specifics beyond Miguel’s setting and age, or production details. Both frame the reveal as an early preview of what audiences can expect from the sequel.
