Kung Fu Panda 5 is reportedly in development at DreamWorks Animation.
According to insider Daniel Richtman, his Patreon post revealed that a fifth installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise, and a sequel to Kung Fu Panda 4, is officially in the works. It will be released in theaters in 2027.
In an interview with Next Best Picture, director Mike Mitchell revealed that Kung Fu Panda 4 will be the beginning of a new trilogy.
He said, ‘It’s very possible. Like, I don’t think anyone will ever get tired of seeing Jack Black as this panda. I mean, he just is this panda. He comes up with all of the “skadooshes,” all the “sha-sha-booeys” and stuff. We could watch him forever. That said, we have made the most epic chapter of this franchise here.’
The Kung Fu Panda franchise consists of four animated films—Kung Fu Panda (2008), Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011), Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016), and Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024)—and is the seventh highest-grossing animated film franchise, grossing over $2 billion globally.
Kung Fu Panda 5 will hit theaters in 2027, distributed by Universal Pictures.
