BREAKING: Disney Announces Live-Action 'Lilo & Stitch' Sequel

Happy 626 Day to all who celebrate!

June 26th or 6/26 is when Disney fans celebrate that little alien rascal known as Stitch — A.K.A. Experiment 626. On this particular 626 Day, Disney has announced that a live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel is in development.

The sequel to the live-action “reimagining” of the 2002 animated film Lilo & Stitch is officially in development at Walt Disney Studios. Disney shared the announcement with a classic video of Stitch being a chaos agent, per usual:

should’ve known he couldn’t keep a secret.

The live-action Lilo & Stitch premiered on May 23rd, 2025, and despite other live-action remakes of Disney animated films getting less-than-stellar reviews, Stitch proved that he was once again a hit. The movie was the highest-grossing 4-day Memorial Day weekend opening in US history.

Since its debut, the film has grossed around $923 million worldwide.

“The love that people have for Lilo & Stitch continues to grow, and the goal with this new retelling was for audiences to be able to enjoy these characters on the big screen again and hopefully have just as much fun watching it as we had making it,” said Alan Bergman, co-chairman, Disney Entertainment.

The original film was a box office hit and grossed $273 million worldwide with an $80 million budget — and it’s certainly no secret how popular Stitch has remained.

As of now, no details have been shared about the sequel’s plot or who will direct and star, but we can’t wait to learn more.
