Frozen 3 First Look: Anna's Wedding, New Villain, 2027

Anna and Kristoff Are Finally Getting Married

Disney gave Frozen 3 its first real look at D23 2026, confirming a November 24, 2027 release and a headline plot beat: Anna and Kristoff’s wedding. Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad performed live on stage to mark the reveal, all returning as Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf.

Why It Matters for Dads

Frozen sits in a rare category: a franchise that genuinely holds up on rewatch instead of becoming background noise, and one both parents and kids tend to actively want to see rather than one side dragging the other along. Idina Menzel’s tease that the story moves “far from Arendelle in wild and dangerous land” suggests this isn’t a safe retread of the wedding-movie formula — there’s a real adventure attached to the marriage plot, which is the right instinct after two films that already covered found-family and identity themes thoroughly.

The 2027 date also means there’s no rush and no spoiler risk for a good while yet — plenty of time to do a proper Frozen 1 and 2 rewatch before the wedding actually happens on screen, rather than scrambling the week before release the way franchise catch-ups often go.

What’s Next

No trailer yet — this was concept details and cast confirmation, not footage. No word on the new villain’s identity or Samantha’s role beyond being introduced as Olaf’s girlfriend. We’ll cover the first trailer when Disney releases it, likely closer to 2027.

When does Frozen 3 come out?

November 24, 2027, in theaters.

What happens in Frozen 3?

The central reveal from D23 is a royal wedding — Anna and Kristoff finally get married. Idina Menzel confirmed the story also takes the characters far from Arendelle into a wild, dangerous new land, and a new villain will emerge.

Is the original Frozen cast returning for Frozen 3?

Yes. Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad all return as Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf. The cast performed live on stage at D23 to celebrate the announcement.
