Director: Jared Bush, Byron Howard
Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are back on the beat, and this time the case cuts deeper into Zootopia's underworld than anything the pair has faced before.
What is Zootopia 2 about?
Years after cracking the Night Howler conspiracy, rabbit officer Judy Hopps and fox con-artist-turned-cop Nick Wilde have settled into an easy partnership at the ZPD. That comfort doesn't last long. A strange new case pulls them away from routine patrol work and into the sprawling, species-segregated corners of the city they thought they understood, forcing them to question old assumptions about who belongs where and who can be trusted. As leads pile up and the stakes rise, Judy and Nick have to lean on each other more than ever, even as the investigation threatens to expose secrets neither of them expected. The sequel expands the original film's blend of buddy-cop energy and social allegory into a bigger, more layered mystery, adding new faces to Zootopia's already crowded animal metropolis while keeping its heart on the friendship at the center.
Cast & crew
Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman return as Judy and Nick, joined by Ke Huy Quan, Fortune Feimster, Andy Samberg, David Strathairn, and Idris Elba, with Shakira reprising her pop-star gazelle role. Jared Bush and Byron Howard direct once again, keeping the creative team largely intact from the first film.
Context & significance
Released in 2025, the film arrives nearly a decade after the original became a global animated hit and an awards-season favorite. Its family-friendly mix of comedy, mystery, and gentle social commentary made Zootopia a franchise ripe for expansion, and this follow-up leans further into world-building around the city's many districts and species.
