Production
[edit]On the possibility of a potential sequel to Ice Age: Collision Course in June 2016, co-director Galen T. Chu said that there were some ideas for the sixth installment of the Ice Age series.[2]
In February 2022, producer Lori Forte discussed the possibility of a sequel while promoting The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, saying, "I think it's a little premature. We hope that people will respond to this, and that will promote us to be able to do another movie. If the audiences want it, we've got plenty of ideas. There's no end to ideas and adventures and characters, so we're ready if they're ready."[3]
In September 2024, John Leguizamo, the voice of Sid in the Ice Age films, revealed that the sixth film was in development.[4] By November 2024, during D23 in Brazil, the film was officially announced to be in production with Ray Romano, Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Simon Pegg, and Queen Latifah reprising their roles from the previous films.[1]
Music
[edit]Batu Sener will compose the film's score, after having previously scored The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild and Ice Age: Scrat Tales.[better source needed]
Release
[edit]Ice Age 6 is scheduled to be released in the United States on December 18, 2026, taking over the release of an untitled tenth Star Wars film.[5]
