Get ready for more ohana magic—Disney has officially kicked off development on 'Lilo & Stitch 2'! After the live-action remake took the world by storm this past May, the beloved duo is gearing up for another heartwarming (and hilarious) adventure.
The announcement was made recently— a nod to Stitch’s experimental code name, "626" — as part of a special celebration for fans.
Shared through Disney’s official Instagram account, the announcement featured a short clip of Stitch cruising in a mini pink convertible, leaving behind tire marks that formed the title 'Lilo & Stitch 2'. The post hinted at the surprise, calling it a “626 day” reveal and confirmed that the sequel is actively in development.

The live-action adaptation, which is still running in theatres, stars Hawaiian newcomer Maia Kealoha as Lilo. It opened to record-breaking numbers over Memorial Day weekend, earning $183 million domestically and $341.7 million worldwide in just its first weekend. This marks the biggest Memorial Day weekend debut ever at the box office.

The original live-action movie retells the heartwarming story of a young Hawaiian girl who finds an unusual friend in Stitch, a genetically engineered alien designed for chaos. Together, they navigate unexpected challenges, forming an unbreakable bond rooted in the spirit of 'ohana — the Hawaiian word for family.
With the sequel now confirmed, 'Lilo & Stitch' joins Disney's growing roster of live-action franchises, including 'Beauty and the Beast', 'The Lion King', 'Aladdin', 'The Little Mermaid', and 'Mulan'. A live-action adaptation of 'Moana' is also currently in the pipeline.
Fans of the beloved duo 'Lilo & Stitch' can look forward to even more heart, adventure, and intergalactic fun in the next chapter of this iconic story.
