‘PAW Patrol’ Sequel Is a Go, Will Hit Theaters in October 2023



Spin Master Corp. and Nickelodeon are also planning a new spinoff TV series that's based on the popular preschool franchise about a lovable crew of pups.

The pooches are getting a sequel.

Spin Master Corp. and Nickelodeon Movies announced Wednesday that PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie will receive an exclusive theatrical release on Oct. 13, 2023. Paramount Pictures will distribute the follow-up.

The popular preschool franchise is also expanding on the small screen: Nickelodeon and Spin Master are plotting a PAW Patrol television spinoff series based on a fan-favorite pup that will likewise debut in 2023.

The dual announcement follows the sleeper success of PAW Patrol: The Movie, which grossed more than $135 million at the global box office in late summer of this year despite a simultaneous debut on Paramount+.

The film’s performance even played a role in a dramatic regime change that saw Nickelodeon CEO Brain Robbins succeed Jim Gianopulos as chief of Paramount Pictures (Robbins remains at the helm of Nick as well).

“We loved telling a deeper PAW Patrol story on a bigger canvas and are pleased that the movie connected so strongly with kids and families around the world,” Spin Master president Jennifer Dodge said in a statement.

Added Robbins: “Just as the first movie’s success in theaters and streaming confirmed PAW Patrol’s status and power as a top, globally loved franchise, this second theatrical release paired with the property’s very first television spin-off will mark another major step in creating a universe of characters and stories to reach even more fans everywhere.”

Families watched PAW Patrol: The Movie an average of three times on Paramount+, according to Spin Master and Nickelodeon.

Veteran animation director Cal Brunker will return to direct the sequel, which will follow the PAW Patrol pups as they transform into The Mighty Pups after a meteor crash lands in Adventure City.

For Skye, the smallest member of the team, her new powers are a dream come true, but things take a turn for the worse when the pups’ arch-rival Humdinger breaks out of jail and teams up with a mad scientist to steal the superpowers for the two villains.

The PAW Patrol TV series airs in over 160 countries in 30 languages. Spin Master Entertainment launched the franchise in 2013.

Hell yeah. Really interested to see where they go with the sequel

[Foggy]

Coming for that Best Animation nod whether the academy likes it or not.

[CyberpunkCentral]

Can't wait for a Criterion release.

[Joeker]

Was hoping for another Paramount+ release

Huge blow to physical media. Paw Patrol movie is UHD on Itunes but only getting an HD disc release. Damn

[deto]

My daughter loved the series when she was younger, forgot about it, watched and loved the movie. She's 5, we'll see how much she'll be into it in 2 years.

Rated PG for mild action/peril.

[Monterey Jack]

Amazing that something like THIS requires a PG rating.

[Eurbane132]

Oh no! Disaster! Looks like the filmmakers had to cut some action sequences to make the little kids happy.

Had no idea this was a sequel. That’s cool that they used a plane to promote it. Don’t see that with many movies.

I just watched Gremlins tonight at a movie theatre. That had a PG rating and you saw a Gremlin get splattered all over a wall as it got tossed into a machine, and a Gremlin explode when the mum turned on the microwave with a Gremlin inside.

Hilarious to me that this will have a higher U.S. gross than Wish.

Is it? I don’t think you understand how popular PP is

[mjvmovieman]

If they do a Christmas-themed Paw Patrol 3 and bring Everest into the mix, release it mid December and it will do over $100m domestic, probably more.

Jesus! This is just Little kid fare! I agree with you on this, very much! In the 1960s, exploitation producers such as, Herschel Gordon Lewis, and Barry Mahon made exploitation movies such as “The Magic Land of Mother Goose”, and “Santa’s Christmas Elf (named Calvin)”, and nobody questioned that in the 60s!
