Production

Development

Rogen had expressed interest in making a sequel to Sausage Party and more animated films aimed for adults. When asked about the possibility of a sequel, Rogen stated: "It's something we talk about, yeah. That's one of the reasons why we took away the ending because we thought, well, if that was the first scene of the next movie it's probably not what you would want it to be, with them just seeing us and finding us basically. But the idea of a live-action/animated movie, like a Who Framed Roger Rabbit?-style hybrid, is also very exciting, mostly because Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is one of my favorite movies of all time."
On October 26, 2022, it was announced that Amazon had ordered a sequel from Point Grey Pictures, Annapurna Television, and Sony Pictures Television the co-writers Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir returning to develop and executive produce the series under their production company Shaffirwhich while some of the cast returning to reprise their roles, along with new members like Will Forte, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Richardson and Yassir Lester.

Animation

Release
