Disney’s popular 2016 animated film Moana is getting a sequel series on Disney+. Announced during the Walt Disney Company’s Investor Day 2020 event on Thursday, the Moana series was announced with a number of other animated series in development for the streaming platform, including the Big Hero 6 spinoff Baymax!, Tiana, and Zootopia+. The Moana sequel is set to come to Disney+ sometime in 2023.

 

With the series so far out, there aren’t a lot of details available just yet. For fans of the animated film, however, the series may serve to satisfy the demand for a sequel. Fans have been clamoring for the film to get a follow up almost since its initial release and the film remains popular, thanks in part to Dwayne Johnson’s memorable vocal performance as Maui. In fact, one of the film’s songs sung by Johnson — “You’re Welcome” — was certified quadruple platinum earlier this year, prompting Johnson to celebrate the news on social media, thanking fans as well as the song’s writer, Lin Manuel Miranda.
