After leaving its mark on cinema screens, “Moana” is ready to make a splash in your living room! “Moana 2” debuts on Disney+ this Wednesday. Initially conceptualized as a series set to stream directly on Disney+, this sequel is finally anchoring at its intended port. The film trails our Polynesian heroine on an exciting new journey across the ocean, joined by her trusty companion Maui and an entertaining crew of sailors. Auli’i Cravalho and Dwayne Johnson return to breathe life into their beloved characters once more. However, in the 2026 live-action remake, Cravalho has stepped aside for a fresh face to take on the leading role, while Johnson will continue to embody Maui. Excited to catch — or revisit — “Moana 2”? Here’s everything you need to know about its streaming release and ways to snag a deal with the latest Disney+ promotion!
“Moana 2” docks on Disney+ on Wednesday, March 12, 2025. Early risers on the East Coast can start watching at 3:01 a.m., whereas those on the West Coast can tune in at 12:01 a.m. PT.
Typically, the Disney+ Hulu bundle with ads is priced at $11 monthly. Currently, you can enjoy both Disney+ and Hulu for only $2.99/month for the initial four months.
