A still from ‘Inside Out 2’
Pete Docter, Chief Creative Officer at Pixar Animation Studios, has revealed new updates on the Inside Out spinoff series set to debut on Disney+ in spring 2025. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Docter confirmed the series’ completion and hinted at its premise.
“We have finished. It’s coming out next spring,” Docter announced. “In the first film, remember we go to Dream Production to see how Riley’s dreams are made? It semi-explains why they’re so weird.” He added that the new series will delve deeper into the power of dreams and their impact on waking life.
The announcement follows the tremendous success of Inside Out 2, which has shattered box office records worldwide. The sequel achieved the second-biggest domestic animated opening of all time at $154.2 million and set a new record for the largest opening for an animated movie globally, with $295 million.
Amy Poehler reprises her role as Joy in Inside Out 2, directed by Kelsey Mann. The film features returning cast members Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black, Diane Lane, and Kyle MacLachlan, along with new voices such as Maya Hawke, Ayo Edebiri and Adèle Exarchopoulos.
