Chris Sanders, co-creator of Lilo & Stitch, is back to write the live-action sequel.

      The 2025 release of Lilo & Stitch was hugely successful, despite receiving mixed reactions from fans. Just think about how a sequel might perform, especially with the original creator on board! According to THR, Chris Sanders is set to return to write the previously announced sequel to the popular remake. This year's version was co-written by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright and Mike Van Waes. There has been no confirmation yet on whether director Dean Fleischer Camp will reprise his role.

      The report mentions that Sanders' agreement entails writing the script but not directing, as he is currently concentrating on a sequel to The Wild Robot. He will also lend his voice to Stitch once again, as he has in the past.

      Lilo & Stitch made over $1 billion globally, with about a $100 million budget, ranking as the second-highest-grossing film of 2025 and the highest-grossing live-action/animated hybrid of all time. It debuted with $341 million internationally, which included a domestic weekend total of $145.5 million. It had one of the strongest openings noted for a Disney remake and followed the trend of many live-action adaptations.
