On May 20, 2018, Universal officially announced the film's title Paradoria 2: Enchanted Realm along with its new release of April 26, 2019, as well as the first teaser poster.

Gary Hall, who co-directed the first film, stated that he is unable to return in the sequel due to Hall being busy on directing the fifth Computeropolis installment.

Casting
On July 31, 2015, it was reported that Finn Wolfhard was willing to reprise his role as Jamo in the sequel. It was also reported that AnnaSophia Robb might return to reprise her role as Keena but had not decided yet. In September 2015, it had been confirmed that Wolfhard and Robb would reprise their respective roles as Jamo and Keena in the sequel.

In October 2017, it was announced that Zoe Saldana has joined the cast to voice a brand new character in the sequel. The following month, Paul Giamatti was cast to voice a villain in the film. On August 12, 2018, it was announced that Madelaine Petsch joined the cast. Later that week, Tom Cruise announced that he will be making his first animation debut in the sequel. When Steve Samono and Amy McNeill saw the Mission: Impossible movies (including the sixth film), they praised Cruise's performance and decided to cast Cruise in his first voice-acting role in the film.

Release
Paradoria 2: Enchanted Realm is set to be released in the United States on April 19, 2019, in 2D, Digital 3D, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, IMAX, and IMAX 3D by Universal Pictures. Originally scheduled for release on March 1, 2019, the date was postponed multiple times. The film was pushed back to May 31, then to August 16, August 2, April 5, and one final time to April 26. The film will be released in select international markets (including UK, France, and Germany) one week ahead of the North American release (starting with France on April 10) in order to avoid box office competition with the untitled Avengers film.
