Disney is developing Lilo & Stitch 2 as a live-action sequel, continuing the beloved franchise’s story of Ohana, friendship, and extraterrestrial fun.
Disney is diving back into the world of Ohana with a live-action sequel to Lilo & Stitch. Following the upcoming release of its first live-action adaptation, Disney has confirmed that Lilo & Stitch 2 is officially in development, according to a new report from Variety. This makes a great announcement for 626 day!
The sequel will continue the story of the beloved Hawaiian girl Lilo and her chaotic alien companion Stitch, who originally debuted in the 2002 animated film. While plot details are currently under wraps, the announcement suggests that Disney is committed to building out the Lilo & Stitch live-action universe and further exploring the heartwarming themes of family, belonging, and friendship that made the original a fan favorite.

The first live-action Lilo & Stitch remake, set to premiere soon on Disney+, was directed by Dean Fleischer Camp (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On) and features a mix of CG and live-action elements to bring Stitch and other alien characters to life. The new sequel is expected to follow in its visual and stylistic footsteps.
The upcoming sequel will be produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich of Rideback, who are also behind Disney’s Aladdin live-action remake and its sequel, which is also in development. The pair have become go-to producers for Disney’s live-action reimaginings, and their involvement in Lilo & Stitch 2 suggests another big-scale production is on the horizon.
Since its original release, Lilo & Stitch has remained a beloved entry in Disney’s animated catalog, praised for its unique setting, emotional depth, and unconventional storytelling. The announcement of a sequel shows Disney’s continued investment in expanding the legacy of its classic IPs through modern storytelling formats.
With no official release date yet announced, fans will have to stay tuned to learn more about casting, plot, and production timelines. However, the confirmation of Lilo & Stitch 2 in development is sure to excite audiences who’ve grown up with the film—and those discovering it for the first time.
