Chris Sanders will direct the upcoming sequel to Lilo and Stitch, marking a significant return for the franchise creator. This announcement comes after he previously voiced Stitch in both animated and live-action versions of the beloved property. Sanders is also taking on writing duties for this new installment, continuing his deep involvement with the story. The film follows a 2025 live-action adaptation that was directed by Dean Fleischer Camp and produced by Jonathan Eirich. Production has been underway since mid-2025 with plans for a theatrical release in May 2028. This sequel promises an entirely original narrative rather than rehashing previous direct-to-video content. The project represents a creative shift from the first live-action film while maintaining continuity through returning producers. Fans can expect Sanders to bring his extensive knowledge of the characters to both directing and writing roles.
