AfterMoana’s success,Disney immediately began finding ways to expand the franchise.
AMoanaTV series for Disney+ was announced, and while it was canceled,Moana 2and a live-actionMoanaremake entered development.
AlthoughMoana 3hasn’t been announced yet, it is expected based onMoana 2’s box office success.
Interestingly, this is in large part due to the fact thatMoana 2was originally a TV show.
Although very little was known about the series, it semeed like it was going to be releasing soon.
However, this didn’t end up happening.

Unfortunately,Moana 2’s TV series origins can really be felt in the final product.
The pivot fromMoana: The SeriestoMoana 2came as a result of the financial failures of Disney+.
SinceMoana 2was a massive box office success,Moana 3would undoubtedly be a big-budget theatrical movie from its inception.
It would be weird for Disney to cheap out onMoana 3after it saw the success of its predecessor.
Plus, Disney has already learned its lesson about large original programming on Disney+.
It would be unthinkable for Disney to begin development on anotherMoanashow only to turn it intoMoana 3.
Thus,ifMoana 3does happen, it will probably be a show from the very first steps of pre-production.
This isn’t the only exciting story setup fromMoana 2, however.
At the end ofMoana 2, Moana nearly dies, with her only being saved by Maui’s magic.
When Could Moana 3 Actually Happen?
Meanwhile,Ralph Breaks the Internetwas announced in early 2016 and released in late 2019.
This means thatMoana 3could end up having a turnaround time of about two and a half years.
If this is the case,Moana 3could release in around 2027 at the earliest.
