🐰🦊Zootopia 2 (2025): Judy & Nick Return in Disney’s Highly Anticipated Sequel – Cast, Plot, Release Date & More

The wait is finally over—Disney’s Zootopia 2 is bringing back the beloved duo, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, in a case that will turn their city upside down. The animated sequel hits theaters worldwide on November 26, 2025, just in time for the holiday season.

"The world’s gonna change, Nick… and we’re gonna be right in the middle of it."

With a mysterious reptile entering the mammal metropolis, secrets unravel, alliances are tested, and the very soul of Zootopia may never be the same again.

🌆 The Plot – A City in Chaos

In this thrilling continuation, Judy and Nick find themselves on the twisting trail of Gary De’Snake (voiced by Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan), a mysterious pit viper who slithers into Zootopia and sends shockwaves through its fragile balance.

To solve the mystery, the duo must go undercover into unseen corners of the city—from shady underground markets to luxurious high-society galas—testing their wits, courage, and their growing partnership.

"Sometimes the case changes you more than you change the case."
