Production
On the possibility of a potential sequel, in March 2018, Thalia Ward, the creator of the series, stated that a fourth installment is already being considered. Six months later, Fox confirmed that the fourth installment is already moving forward from Fox Animation. Kristen Bell and Bill Hader have expressed interest in reprising their roles in the fourth film. On March 26, 2019, it was reported that Thurop Van Orman (creator of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and the director for the then-upcoming The Angry Birds Movie 2) is in talks to co-direct the fourth installment with Ward. Later that day, Orman confirmed in his interview that he will indeed co-direct the fourth installment.

At the 2019 Annecy International Animated Film Festival in June, further more details including the plot were announced with series creator Thalia Ward revealed that that the film will be released on October 8, 2021, with Bell, Hader, Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Jim Carrey, and Andy Samberg reprising their previous roles, as Alaina Gleen, Max Hat, Jason Baxter, Lucy Jones, Professor Hinkle Higgins, and Eddie Elephant respectively, with Rachel Bloom, Jake Johnson and Ben Schwartz joining them, while Matt Lieberman, Peter Ackerman, Eyal Podell and Jonathon E. Stewart would rewrite Ward's screenplay. Ward also expressed hope that it would be a better film than the previous installment. Fox announced in November 2019 that the film officially began production. By July 23, 2020, the release date was pushed back a month later on November 5, 2021 as a result of Fox's updated slate due to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic's impact on the film industry. By August 14, 2020, Awkwafina, Danny Trejo, Sterling K. Brown, and Kelly Marie Tran joined the cast.

In September 2020, Katherine Langford joined the cast, making her animation debut. Also in that same month, Chris Pratt later joined the cast.

Music
In July 2020, Henry Jackman will return to score the fourth film, having previously scored the third film.

The film is scheduled to be released on October 29, 2021 by 20th Century Studios in 3D, Dolby Cinema, and IMAX. Originally, it had been set for an October 8, 2021 release. On July 23, 2020, the film was moved up to November 5, 2021 as a result of Disney's updated film release slate due to the 2019–20 coronavirus (COVID-19).
