Get ready to let it go all over again—Frozen 3 is officially happening, and Kristen Bell has already seen the script! But here’s where it gets exciting: the cast is gearing up to start production soon, though Bell is keeping tight-lipped about the details. “I’m under lock and key,” she teased, leaving fans eager for more. While she hasn’t heard any of the new songs yet, Bell, who voices Anna, gave a glimpse into Disney’s meticulous creative process. “It’s all concept stuff in the beginning—ideas, directions, and endless revisions,” she explained. “Disney’s magic lies in its thousand filters. Everyone adds something unique, ensuring the final product hits every mark.” And this is the part most people miss: that level of collaboration is why Frozen has become a cultural phenomenon.
Slated for a 2027 release, Frozen 3 has already sparked curiosity with its visual development art, unveiled in August 2024. The images feature Elsa (Idina Menzel) on a majestic white horse and Anna on a sturdy brown stag, hinting at new adventures in the enchanted kingdom of Arendelle. Co-directed by Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, the franchise has been a powerhouse since its 2013 debut, followed by the equally beloved Frozen II in 2019. With a star-studded voice cast including Jonathan Groff as Kristoff and Josh Gad as Olaf, expectations are sky-high.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Can Frozen 3 live up to the legacy of its predecessors? Some fans worry about over-saturation, while others can’t wait for more icy adventures. What do you think? Is Disney risking the franchise’s charm, or is there still untapped magic in Arendelle? Let’s debate in the comments!
I caught up with Bell at the Season 2 premiere of Nobody Wants This at Hollywood’s Egyptian Theatre, where she dished on her husband Dax Shepard’s unlikely involvement—or lack thereof. “He’s happy podcasting,” she said, referring to his hit show Armchair Expert. Meanwhile, her co-star Adam Brody’s wife, Leighton Meester, makes a guest appearance this season. Fun fact: Nobody Wants This follows two sisters who co-host a podcast, blending humor with the chaos of real life. Brody sums up the new season in three words: “Sht gets real.” And his dream guest star? None other than Barbra Streisand playing herself. Mark your calendars—Nobody Wants This* Season 2 drops on Netflix October 23. Whether you’re team Frozen or team podcast drama, one thing’s for sure: Kristen Bell is keeping us on our toes. What are you more excited for—Frozen 3 or the new season of Nobody Wants This? Sound off below!
