Plans for a sixth Ice Age film were announced in June 2016, when co-director Galen T. Chu stated that there were some ideas for the sixth installment, though Bustle noted that the chances of a sixth entry were relatively high but would depend on the box office performance of the fifth film. The film was eventually revealed to be in development by Leguizamo in September 2024, with updates arriving that November.
Ice Age: Boiling Point is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on February 5, 2027 by 20th Century Studios.

Production
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.[3]
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."[4]
In September 2024, John Leguizamo, the voice of Sid in the Ice Age films, revealed that the sixth film was in development.[5] 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.[2] On August 30, 2025, it was announced that the film had been titled Ice Age: Boiling Point.[6]
Release
Ice Age: Boiling Point is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on February 5, 2027.[7] It was previously scheduled to be released on December 18, 2026.[8] In May 2025, after Avengers: Doomsday was delayed to that date, Boiling Point was expected to be moved to a new release date in the following weeks to avoid competition with Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.[9] The film was officially delayed to its February 2027 date in August 2025.[7]
