Toy Story 6: Release Date, Cast and Status

Toy Story 6 has not been officially announced. As of November 3, 2026, no studio release or trade report gives it a release date, a director, a cast or a confirmed greenlight. Film databases list the project as in development, but that label reflects only that a sequel is widely discussed, not that Pixar has started production.

The newest film in the saga is toy story 5, directed by Andrew Stanton and released in June 2026, so a new Toy Story movie did arrive this year. It runs 102 minutes and centers on Jessie and Bonnie's toys, who find themselves competing for attention with a frog shaped tablet called Lilypad. It is also on Disney Plus in the US, the UK and Australia (the full list of services is under where to watch toy story).

If you have ever finished a favorite TV series and then waited months for a renewal notice, this is the same feeling: the last episode has aired, the network has said nothing, and fans fill the quiet with guesses. The complete lineup, including the Lightyear spin-off, sits on the toy story movies hub.

What is known is short: Toy Story 5 exists, it was a big hit, and nothing has been confirmed after it. According to Box Office Mojo it earned about $1.15 billion worldwide on a $250 million budget, which is more than Toy Story 4 and Toy Story 3, each of which grossed about $1.07 billion on $200 million budgets. The toy story box office page has every figure.

In my opinion, a result like that makes a sixth film likely at some point, because it is hard to picture Disney leaving this ensemble idle. It could be argued that the wait would be long, since the slate reported for 2027 and 2028 has no Toy Story title and the recent gaps have run from seven to eleven years. That being said, this is an inference from the record, not a report, and a studio can change a calendar quickly.

What about the people asking whether Bonnie's story ends here? Toy Story 6 has no announced plot, director or cast, so how it would treat Bonnie, or whether it would move elsewhere, is an open question. Perhaps the better comparison is Lightyear, which grossed about $226 million on a $200 million budget: in my opinion, it suggests audiences come for Woody, Jessie and the whole toy box, not the Buzz name alone.
