Universal reveals Trolls 2 will hit cinemas on April 10, 2020.
Trolls was named as one to watch by a number of retailers and licensees last year, so the announcement of a sequel for the DreamWorks’ movie should come as a major boost to the licensing programme.
Universal has confirmed that Trolls 2 will be released on April 10, 2020.
Both Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick will reprise their roles as Branch and Poppy respectively.
Trolls – which launched late last year – has grossed some $339 million worldwide.
It bagged an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song for Can’t Stop the Feeling, sung by Justin – who also delighted the crowd at DreamWorks’ presentation at Licensing Expo last summer with a surprise appearance.
The comprehensive licensing programme covers a raft of categories, including successful toy and apparel lines.
