Production
On September 29, 2020, Deadline Hollywood reported that a follow-up film was in development with Barry Jenkins attached to direct. While The Hollywood Reporter said the film would be a prequel about Mufasa during his formative years, Deadline said it would be a sequel centering on both Mufasa's origins and the events after the first film, similar to The Godfather Part II. Jeff Nathanson, the screenwriter for the remake, has reportedly finished a draft.
In August 2021, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Aaron Pierre were cast, with Harrison Jr. voicing a young Scar and Pierre voicing a young Mufasa.
Music
Nicholas Britell is set to score the soundtrack for the film.
