In September 2023, before the release of Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, Spin Master announced a third Paw Patrol film is in development with a planned 2026 release date. Returning crew members were announced soon after, including Brunker as a director and Jennifer Dodge, Laura Clunie, and Toni Stevens as producers. Mikros Image in Montreal, like its predecessors, returned to handle the animation, this time collaborating in Paris, with the casting of Grace, Hudson and Feimster being announced the following year.

Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie is scheduled to be released in Canada and the United States on July 31, 2026, by Elevation Pictures in Canada and Paramount Pictures in the United States.

Premise

After their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the Paw Patrol crash-land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. They meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dino-related. When the Paw Patrol's arch rival, Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The Paw Patrol are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they've done before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.

Voice cast

Additionally, Jennifer Hudson and Fortune Feimster have been cast in undisclosed roles. [1]
