"Inside Out" Spinoff Series "Dream Productions" Premiere Date, New Footage Unveiled

Pixar has unveiled the release date for the highly-anticipated "Inside Out" spinoff series “Dream Productions".

The series, focuses on the studio inside Riley’s mind that produces dreams, will debut on Disney+ on December 11, 2024. 

All four episodes of the limited series will be available at once. 

The series, announced at D23 in August following the blockbuster success of “Inside Out 2,” was previously set for 2025.

The logline for “Dream Productions” reads, in part: “Riley is growing up and when her memories need some extra processing, Joy and the rest of the Core Emotions send them to Dream Productions. 

Acclaimed director Paula Persimmon (voice of Paula Pell) faces a nightmare of her own: Trying to create the next hit dream after being paired up with Xeni (voice of Richard Ayoade), a smug daydream director looking to step up into the big leagues of night dreams.” 

The series features the voices of Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Ally Maki, Kensington Tallman, Liza Lapira, Tony Hale, Lewis Black and Phyllis Smith. 

“Dream Productions” is written and directed by Mike Jones and produced by Jaclyn Simon.

Moreover, the original series “Win or Lose,” which features Will Forte voicing a little league baseball coach, will come to Disney+ on February 19, 2025. 

Throughout eight episodes, the series “reveals what it actually feels like to be in the shoes of eight different characters in the week leading up to the big game — the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire — with incredibly funny, very emotional and uniquely animated perspectives,” per Disney. 

Each episode is said to have a different visual style.

“Win or Lose” is the first long-form original series from Pixar, as the company’s previous television programs have been based on its existing films. 

The series is directed, written and executive produced by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, and produced David Lally.

“These two series really show Pixar creativity at its finest,” said Pete Docter, chief creative officer at Pixar. “We’re excited fans won’t have to wait long for more great content from the world of ‘Inside Out.’ ‘Dream Productions’ offers up a treasure trove of jokes and fun as it digs deeper into one of our favorite parts of the first film, the making of Riley’s dreams. And we consider ‘Win or Lose’ a major, first-of-its-kind tentpole series, one that really showcases what I think makes our studio great: bold, imaginative storytelling; laugh-out-loud humor; and characters that we can all relate to.”
