DreamworksHere’s everything we know about Trolls 3, the latest movie in the DreamWorks franchise, including its release date, cast, plot, and other details.
The Trolls franchise launched in 2016, starring Jason Timberlake and Anna Kendrick in a critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated movie.
With a couple of highly successful sequel and loads of shorts and TV specials in the series now, too, it’s no surprise that the Trolls 3 cast was even bigger than ever before.
Sadly, we weren’t fans of the new movie, as you can tell from our 2-star Trolls 3 review. But, we’re nothing if not committed, so here’s everything you need to know about the Trolls 3 release date, the story, and more.
When was the Trolls 3 release date?
Trolls 3 released on November 17, 2023 in the US, and October 20, 2023 in the UK.
The threequel, officially titled Trolls: Band Together, had a strong run in theaters and racked up roughly $210 million at the box office.

It may not be the last time we hear Timberlake in the role, either. In 2020, Timberlake expressed his wishes to make “seven Trolls movies, because it literally is the gift that keeps on giving. You get to go to work and create something that’s outside of how you see yourself as an artist,” he told Billboard.
Director Walt Dohrn also seems to love working with Timberlake, as he stated in an interview with Dexerto, “He’s a big collaborator. We come at him with a, “Here’s our story but it’s a work in progress,” we’re always working it. He comes in right at the top. He’s not just a voice actor, he is a real partner on these movies.”
Trolls 3 plot: What is it about?
Trolls: Band Together puts a focus on Branch, and has his reuniting with an old boyband he was involved in with his brothers, called BroZone. One of Branch’s brothers is kidnapped, and the Trolls have to work together to rescue him from popstar villains, Velvet and Veneer.
The movie covers a lot of boyband music, particularly from the ’90s and early 2000s. It has also been revealed that Timberlake, a boyband veteran, has provided five original songs for the Trolls 3 soundtrack, alongside other jukebox numbers.
As stated in an interview with Dexerto, producer Gina Shay said “We’ll put in covers for the whole movie, and then we’ll decide, “ooh this is the spot for an original song,” and we have five original songs by Justin Timberlake in the movie, and it’s so exciting.”
