New ‘Frozen’ Short Film Coming This Fall Ahead of Frozen 3
The cold never bothered Disney’s release calendar anyway. A brand new short set in the world of Frozen is officially on the way this October as part of the long runway to Frozen 3, which is set to hit theaters November 24, 2027.

The announcement came from Disney Consumer Products executive Paul Gitter in a recent interview, where he shared that the short will help kick off what Disney is calling its biggest ever cross-company marketing campaign leading into the third film. While details about the story and release platform remain under wraps, the timing suggests it could debut on Disney+, as there are no major Disney theatrical releases currently slated for October.
This new short joins a snowy lineup that includes Frozen Fever, Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, Once Upon a Snowman, At Home with Olaf, and Olaf Presents. If history is any guide, expect something heartfelt, a little hilarious, and probably packed with a song that lives rent free in your head by the end credits.
The Frozen franchise continues to be one of Disney’s most powerful brands more than a decade after Elsa first belted out “Let It Go.” With fans now spanning generations, Disney is leaning into both nostalgia and growth, expanding the franchise with everything from new products to in-park experiences like World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris.

Production is already underway on Frozen 3, with Josh Gad returning as Olaf alongside Kristen Bell as Anna and Idina Menzel as Elsa. Jennifer Lee has stepped away from her role as Chief Creative Officer at Walt Disney Animation Studios to focus fully on the next chapters of the Frozen saga. And yes, Frozen 4 is already in development, because this snowstorm is not melting anytime soon.
Between a new short this fall and a theatrical sequel in 2027, it looks like we are all officially entering our next Frozen era.
