A Third 'PAW Patrol' Movie Has Already Been Set For 2026
'PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie' opens today
PAW Patrol, PAW Patrol, they'll be there on the triple! Ahead of the September 29 release of PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, Spin Master Entertainment, Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures have scheduled a third film for the Nick Jr. franchise for a theatrical release in 2026.
Cal Brunker will return to direct the third film, having directed the previous two. Paramount will be distributing, though Elevation Pictures handles distribution in Canada. PAW Patrol celebrated its tenth anniversary this year, and the 2021 first film grossed $40 million domestically and more than $144 million worldwide on a simultaneous theatrical and Paramount+ release.
As for The Mighty Movie, it stars Finn Lee-Epp replacing Will Brisbin as Ryder, who is normally voiced by Kai Harris, Luxton Handspiker continuing as Rubble, which he began on the spinoff Rubble & Crew, and the returning Marsai Martin as the movie-exclusive Skye. Ron Pardo is back too as Humdinger, who teams up with a meteor-obsessed mad scientist Victoria Vance, voiced by Taraji P. Henson. Pardo is also back as Cap'n Turbot, and Callum Shoniker as Rocky. Christian Convery is the new voice of Chase, who was voiced by Young Sheldon's Iain Armitage in the previous film and is normally voiced by Justin Kelly. Christian Corrao, the latest voice of Marshall, the 6-year-old firefighting Dalmatian, succeeded Kingsley Marshall in the time between films. Nylan Parthipan as Zuma is in a similar position, succeeding Shayle Simons. With this much overturn, one can expect at least some of the successors won't make it to the next film as they too age out from puberty.
While the cast also includes Mckenna Grace, Chris Rock, Kim Kardashian, her kids Saint and North, Alan Kim and Brice Gonzalez, the roles played by Lil Rel Howery, James Marsden, Serena Williams, and Kristen Bell have been revealed since last report. Marsden and Bell voice Hank and Janet, the owners of the junkyard where the electromagnet is taken, Howery voices Sam Stringer, a news reporter, and Williams voices Yoga Yvette, a yoga instructor.
Jennifer Dodge, president of Spin Master Entertainment will produce along with Laura Clunie and Toni Stevens, who is Senior Vice President of entertainment production & operations. The company's co-founder Ronnen Harary will executive produce. Dodge says that at this stage, the public's excitement for the PAW Patrol brand is stronger than ever.
