In February 2024, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the series had been reworked into a theatrical sequel, with Derrick and Shurer remaining attached to the project.[9] Shortly thereafter, Auli'i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson were confirmed to reprise their roles as Moana and Maui, respectively.[1][2]

Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foaʻi, who scored the original film, are set to return to score music, with Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear writing the songs, replacing Lin-Manuel Miranda from the first film.[9]
