ENTERTAINMENT AND REALITY

DWA is unearthing The Croods 2 and has set a new release date for September 18, 2020, as Deadline reports. It was surprising that The Croods 2 was ever shelved in the first place rather than simply delayed, but it’s less surprising that an Oscar-nominated, nearly-$600 million earner is back in action. Netflix saw the title family arrive in a more traditional animated design in Dawn of the Croods, a series that featured an all-new cast taking on the roles. The original film’s cast is expected to return along for the big-screen sequel, however, along with the addition of Leslie Mann. The sequel, when last we heard about it, was intended to introduce another prehistoric family that comes into conflict with The Croods. No new writers/director announcements have been made at this moment, so we’ll keep an eye out for more on The Croods 2 in the months ahead.
