There is no confirmed movie sequel to The Nightmare Before Christmas in production right now, but there is an officially licensed sequel story coming as a comic miniseries, not a film.

Quick Scoop

  • Disney and Dynamite Comics have announced “Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town” , a four‑issue comic book miniseries that serves as an official sequel to the original 1993 film’s story.
  • The comic follows Sally, plus Lock, Shock, and Barrel on a new trip to Christmas Town, with Dr. Finkelstein creating a mysterious new creature that kicks off the plot.
  • The first issue is slated for release in January 2026, giving fans a new canonical continuation of the universe after more than 30 years.

What about a movie sequel?

  • Producer Tim Burton has previously pushed back on the idea of a direct film sequel or reboot, and commentary around the new comic still describes it as a continuation on the page , not as a new animated movie.
  • Some fan videos and speculative articles talk about a potential Nightmare Before Christmas 2 movie, but these are analysis, wish‑lists, or “everything we know so far” style breakdowns rather than announcements of a greenlit film.

How fans are talking about it

  • In fan circles and forums, people often call The Shiver of Christmas Town “Nightmare Before Christmas 2,” but that’s shorthand for the new comic sequel, not proof of a movie going into production.
  • The general vibe in discussions is:
    • Excited that the world and characters are officially returning
    • Cautious or skeptical about ever getting a full-blown theatrical sequel, given Burton’s earlier comments and the film’s “standalone classic” status.

So, are they making A Nightmare Before Christmas 2?

  • Yes, in the sense of an official sequel story in comic form (The Shiver of Christmas Town , 2026).
  • No confirmed news yet of a new feature film or animated movie titled A Nightmare Before Christmas 2 being produced or scheduled for theaters or streaming.
