Moana 2 release date, cast, trailer, and everything you need to know about the Disney movie (2024)

No, you're not dreaming: Moana 2 is on the way and it's hitting theaters this fall.

Though we initially expected a spin-off TV show, a surprise sequel to one of Disney's best animated films was announced earlier this year. We don't know much about the new movie just yet, but we've rounded up everything there is to know below including the first Moana 2 trailer, release date, and confirmed cast so far. There's also some change-ups with the music this time around.

For everything you need to know about Moana 2, this is the place to be. Scroll on down and get reacquainted with Moana, Maui, and learn more about their brand new adventure.

Moana 2 release date

Moana 2 has been revealed for November 27, 2024. That means it's just a few months away. The quick turnaround is likely down to the fact that the project was initially a TV show, but is being rejigged into a movie.

Moana 2 cast

No one has been confirmed for the Moana 2 cast just yet, but Deadline reports both Dwayne Johnson and Auli'i Cravalho are in talks to return. Johnson played Maui in the original and Cravalho was Moana (but she won't be back for the live-action remake, which will star Johnson). However, Johnson is said to look likely to return while Cravalho's return is more uncertain.

We'll be adding cast members here as they're revealed, so check back for updates.

Moana 2 trailer

A teaser trailer hits the internet, and Moana makes a call through a shell, clearly preparing for another adventure. She waves goodbye to her village once more.

As we see her set sail, Moana's voiceover tells us: "This is a call from the ancestors to sail to new skies and reconnect our people across the entire ocean." Plus, we see her reunite with Maui and her adorable animal sidekicks Hei and Pua.

Moana 2 story

The film's synopsis promises "an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui, and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers. After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana must journey to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she's ever faced."

Moana 2 music

It looks like Lin-Manuel Miranda won't be back to pen music for Moana 2. Instead, the team behind the Grammy-winning Unofficial Bridgerton Musical, Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, are writing music for the follow-up. Opetaia Foa'i and Mark Mancina are also returning from the first movie.
