Disney has changed its plans for the timing of Frozen 4, which was initially expected to follow Frozen 3 soon after. The decision reflects the creative team’s aim to give each film a satisfying story of its own while developing a wider emotional journey for Anna, Elsa and the people of Arendelle.

Details of Frozen 4, including its story and release date, have not been announced.
In short
- Frozen 4 will not follow the third film as quickly as first planned.
- Disney wants Frozen 3 to feel like a complete story.
- The third film is due in cinemas on 24 November 2027.
Explained simply
Frozen is a Disney animated film series about sisters Anna and Elsa, who live in the kingdom of Arendelle. Anna is warm and outgoing, while Elsa has magical powers over ice and snow. The films follow their relationship and the people around them.
The series is made by Disney Animation, with Jennifer Lee involved in the upcoming sequels. Jared Bush, who leads Disney Animation, has said he values the characters’ development more than linking the films into one continuous plot.
