Is “The Bad Guys 2″ Coming To Disney+?

This summer, the “The Buy Guys” return to the big screen for another major new adventure in “Bad Guys 2”, which fells the story of a crackerjack crew of animal outlaws, our now-reformed Bad Guys are trying (very, very hard) to be good, but instead find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by a new team of criminals they never saw coming: The Bad Girls.

Based on the New York Times best-selling book series by Aaron Blabey, which has soared from 8 million to over 30 million copies sold since the first film’s release in 2022, “The Bad Guys 2” stars the stellar original cast, led by Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell as Mr. Wolf, SAG award nominee Marc Maron as safe-cracker Mr. Snake, SAG award nominee Craig Robinson as master-of disguise Mr. Shark, Grammy winner Anthony Ramos as Mr. Piranha and Emmy winner Awkwafina as hacker Ms. Tarantula, aka “Webs.”

The returning voice cast is joined by a new trio of comedic powerhouses as The Bad Girls: Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple) as Bad Girls leader Kitty Kat, a dangerously clever snow leopard; Oscar® nominee Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Movie Film) as Pigtail, a brilliant Bulgarian wild boar engineer; and Emmy nominee and comedy icon Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll, Poker Face) as Doom, a wry raven with a knack for deception.

From celebrated returning director Pierre Perifel and producer Damon Ross, The Bad Guys 2 also features the alumni voice talents of Emmy nominee Zazie Beetz as Governor Diane Foxington, BAFTA winner Richard Ayoade as Professor Marmalade, Emmy winner Alex Borstein as Police Chief (now Commissioner) Misty Luggins and Lilly Singh as sensationalist reporter Tiffany Fluffit.

“The Bad Guys 2” is co-directed by JP Sans, who served as head of character animation on the first film. The music is by Oscar®-nominated returning composer Daniel Pemberton.

When Is “The Bad Guys 2” Released?

“Bad Guys 2” will be released exclusively in cinemas in many countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, on 1st August 2025.

When Will “The Bad Guys 2” Be On Disney+?

While “The Bad Guys 2″ is an animated film, it was created by DreamWorks rather than Disney. Unfortunately, for Disney+ subscribers, “Bad Guys 2” has been produced by Universal Studios, meaning it will not be available to Disney+ or Hulu subscribers in the future.

Instead, once it has finished its theatrical release and has been available for purchase on digital platforms for a few months, it’ll be heading to Peacock in the United States and on other Comcast-owned platforms, such as Sky, in many other countries around the world. 

While Disney has had a long running deal with Dreamworks Animation to bring many original animated shows based on iconic franchises like “Shrek”, “Madagcar”, “Trolls” and “How To Train Your Dragon”, the two companies are now longer working together when Comcast completes its sell of its 33% of Hulu to Disney in July 2025.
