Following the unprecedented success, and continued #1 status, of Encanto, the next logical step for a major win for The Walt Disney Company is pretty clear, franchising. It seems to already be in the cards for a follow-up, especially after CEO Bob Chapek used some specific verbiage when talking about the film, calling it the “launch of a new franchise.” Since then there’s been no further talk about sequels, spinoffs, or TV shows set in this world but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating. Perhaps not intentionally throwing fuel on teh fire, but Encanto director Jared Bush had a response to fans eager for more in the series.
I’m asked a LOT if there’ll be more #Encanto – movies, TV, Theater, etc – I’ll say this, it was always our dream, but the real deciders are the fans who found themselves in this story, who saw their family in ours, who chose to spend time with the Madrigals… and want to again.🙏 pic.twitter.com/BI3sGCdMov
