The studios have allegedly “finalized their deal” and are “looking way ahead” to 2029, cautioning that the timeline is provisional due to the long lead time of animated productions.
The first movie, directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans, became a breakout hit on Netflix and has continued to chart globally, paving the way for the sequel discussions. EW adds that the filmmakers mapped a larger mythology around Rumi, Mira, and Zoey of HUNTR/X /X, leaving narrative space for a second film to explore character backstories.
Studios have not issued a dated release announcement; the 2029 target should be considered a window rather than a firm premiere. Expect more clarity as production milestones are reached.
