PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is being developed by Spin Master Entertainment, Nickelodeon and Paramount after Chase, Marshall, Skye, Rocky, Rubble, and Zuma’s second theatrical outing proved to be a hit. Starting life as a Nick Jr. show in 2013, PAW Patrol has since grown into a global megahit for Nickelodeon. The first PAW Patrol movie arrived in theaters in 2021, with the superhero-themed sequel PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie following in 2023. Now the third installment of the cinematic adventures of the PAW Patrol is on a roll.

The next PAW Patrol movie was confirmed during The Mighty Movie's impressive theatrical run, and little time was wasted to guarantee the future of the popular film and TV franchise. PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie will follow the film continuity of the PAW Patrol, which has its own voice cast, a slightly deeper plot, and new characters such as the poodle Delores (played in the PAW Patrol movie cast by Kim Kardashian). With more details about The Dino Movie finally surfacing, it's clear that the threequel is taking the series in a brand-new direction.

New Details Are Revealed About The PAW Patrol Threequel

The film sees the team land on an island filled with dinosaurs where they must square off with their old nemesis, Humdinger

Though news has largely been scant since the threequel was first announced, the latest update confirms the film's official title and plot (via Deadline). Long known as PAW Patrol 3, it has now been revealed that the film will be titled PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie. This title goes along with story details that give a pretty clear picture of PAW Patrol's next big-screen adventure.

Read the official synopsis below:

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.

Chase & The Gang Won't Return Until 2026

There is always a possibility that the release date could shift at some point in the future, especially if the threequel finds some theatrical competition.

Perhaps speaking to the supreme confidence that Paramount has in their PAW Patrol film series, the studio not only announced the sequel before the second movie, but they also set a release date more than two years in advance. Though it will take a while, PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is currently scheduled to premiere on July 31, 2026. There is always a possibility that the release date could shift at some point in the future, especially if the threequel finds some theatrical competition.

Who Will Voice The Pups?

The full cast of PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie has yet to be determined, and there’s also no guarantee that the cast of PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie will return to reprise their roles. Kim Kardashian could reprise her role as the poodle Delores in PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, and Liberty, the dachshund who gained stretching powers in The Mighty Movie, will likely once again be played by Marsai Martin.

As for the rest of the PAW Patrol, Mckenna Grace has been confirmed to return as Skye, while Christian Convery will likely be back as Chase, Luxton Handspiker as Rubble, Christian Corrao as Marshall, Callum Shoniker as Rocky, and Nylan Pathipan as Zuma. Finn Lee-Epp could also possibly return as Ryder for the PAW Patrol 3 cast. Two newcomers have ed the threequel, and PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie has tapped Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls) and Fortune Feimster (FUBAR) to voice as-yet-undisclosed roles.

Though speculation abounded concerning the plot of the third PAW Patrol movie, it wasn't until February 2025 that actual details began to surface. The full synopsis for PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie was revealed, and it's clear that the threequel is going to live up to its name.

They meet a dog named Rex who lives on the island, and must team up with their new friend to fight their arch-nemesis, Humdinger.

the addition of dinosaurs brings in another common kiddo interest.

Humdinger begins to exploit the island's precious minerals, but his reckless actions cause massive harm to the island's ecosystem, which puts the dinosaurs at risk. After the events of The Mighty Movie, it's unclear exactly how PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie hopes to top itself, but bringing dinosaurs into the mix is a clever choice. Not only has the action/adventure franchise remained popular with kids for over a decade, but the addition of dinosaurs brings in another common kiddo interest.
