Disney Animation announced Wednesday that Moana 2 is coming to theaters this November, sharing a brief teaser.

“Moana remains an incredibly popular franchise, and we can’t wait to give you more of Moana and Maui when Moana 2 comes to theaters this November," said Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger in a statement.

According to a synopsis, Moana 2 "takes audiences on an expansive new voyage with Moana, Maui and a brand-new crew of unlikely seafarers.

Last April, Disney announced the live-action version of Moana. The voice behind Moana, Mean Girls star Auli'i Cravalho is serving as an executive producer on that project as a new actress takes on the lead role.

In a statement at the time, Cravalho, 23, said of the character, "She has had such a profound impact on how we think of Disney princesses. Moana's strength and perseverance are inspiring — to audiences around the world, to me and to everyone who helped bring her to life. I'm looking forward to sharing her story in a whole new way."

Moana 2 is in theaters Nov. 27.
