Ohana Reunion: Disney's Live-Action "Lilo & Stitch 2" Gets Release Date

The announcement arrived during today's Disney shareholder meeting.

The live-action sequel to 2025’s Lilo & Stitch gets a release date as Josh D’Amaro takes over as Disney CEO.

What’s Happening:

  • Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch remake took the world by storm, earning over a billion dollars at the box office and making the adorable blue alien even more popular than he was before. 
  • Disney quickly announced that the film would get a sequel, inviting fans further into the reimagined animated story. 
  • And during Josh D’Amaro’s first day shareholder meeting, Disney announced that Lilo & Stitch 2 will be released in theaters on May 26th, 2028. 

  • Lilo & Stitch hit theaters on May 21st, 2025 quickly proving itself as a box office wildfire. 
  • In its first weekend alone, the film raked in over $146 million in the US, but the monetary love from fans didn’t arrive without controversy.
  • Unlike the animated hit, main antagonist Gantu is completely absent from the story, with a huge ending change that upset many fans of the original. 
  • However, that didn’t stop moviegoers from absolutely falling in love with these characters all over again. 
  • It’ll be exciting to see if characters like Angel find their way into the live-action sequel or if we will see the appearance of experiment pods from Lilo & Stitch: The Series
