The time has come to create a snowman as Elsa and Anna join forces for another snowstorm journey. In August 2024, director Jennifer Lee provided updates, including Disney’s confirmation of the release date for Frozen 3. Here’s what we can expect.
In November 2023, during a House of Mouse event, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that a third Frozen movie and multiple other projects were in the works. However, the release date for the third installment has since been postponed.
Fortunately, during Lee’s D23 2024 presentation, she provided some reassuring details about the future of Frozen, including how Frozen 3 will connect with Frozen 4.
Based on the shared concept art, it appears that the story may be split into two parts, possibly concluding Anna and Elsa’s journey and bidding farewell to the sisters as they head off into the sunset.
Frozen 3 Release Date
The highly anticipated Frozen 3 is set to premiere on November 24, 2027, perfectly coinciding with Thanksgiving celebrations.

At D23, it was announced that the release date for Frozen 3 would be in 2027, but an exact date was not specified at the time. It was assumed that the movie would take the November 24, 2027 slot that Disney had reserved. This aligns with the tradition of releasing Frozen movies around Thanksgiving in the US, a pattern that will persist.
What could the plot be?
Although Lee did not reveal any specific details about the plot, she did mention that Frozen 2 left viewers with many unanswered questions. She also stated that these questions will be addressed over the course of two films, suggesting that Frozen 3 will seamlessly lead into Frozen 4’s narrative.
The concept art created by Britney Lee depicts Elsa and Anna riding on horseback, heading towards a castle in the sky. This visual will be recognizable to viewers who recall Elsa’s visions in the sequel.
Additionally, there appears to be a figure in the bottom right holding a spear, possibly foreshadowing the next major antagonist.
After being crowned as queen in Frozen 2, Anna’s journey in the upcoming animated movie may showcase the challenges and burdens that come with her new role, along with her marriage to Kristoff.
We will have to wait and see if Elsa’s new responsibilities as the protector of the enchanted forest and the Northuldran people create conflicts between her and her sister, as she ended the last film in this role.
Moreover, considering that the first Frozen movie took place in summer, with the exception of the never-ending winter caused by Elsa’s powers, and the second installment was set in autumn, it remains to be seen if the third installment will continue the trend and be set in a different season, possibly spring.
Starring
The return of Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, and Josh Gad has all been confirmed for the highly anticipated third installment.
During a conversation with Billboard, Menzel confirmed that a sequel to Frozen is in the works and stated, “All I know is, yeah we are gonna make one, and that’s it. So, I’m like cool I will be able to pay my bills.”
In February 2023, Gad expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the Unknown on X, stating that he was “Excited to head back… into the Unknown.”The post can be found at X.
The cast for Frozen 3 has been officially confirmed:
- Kristen Bell as Anna
- Idina Menzel as Elsa
- Josh Gad and Olaf
We anticipate the reappearance of Jonathan Groff’s Kristoff, Martha Plimpton, Sterling K. Brown, Alfred Molina, Jason Ritter, and Rachel Matthews, who were all featured in Frozen 2.
Is there a Frozen 3 trailer?
At this time, there is no trailer or promotional footage available for Frozen 3.
We currently only have the above concept art from D23 as our source of imagery.
How to watch
In 2027, Frozen 3 will first be released exclusively in theaters before becoming available for streaming on Disney+ at a date that has yet to be confirmed.
Both Frozen 1 and 2 are currently available on the streaming service, allowing you to rewatch them at your convenience.
Who’s directing?
Frozen 3 is being directed by Chris Buck.
The first two Frozen films were co-directed by Buck and Lee. Lee, who is now the chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios, is producing the films.
The first two films were enriched by the songs and music of Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, a talented songwriting duo. It is expected that the pair will continue their collaboration for the third film.
