Clifford The Big Red Dog 2 Officially In Development
The lovable, oversized canine is set to return! Following its impressive streaming success, Clifford The Big Red Dog is officially getting a sequel. Originally created in 1963 by Norman Bridwell, Clifford quickly became a children’s literary icon, starring in over 80 books, two TV series, and a feature film. Clifford’s story—growing from the runt of the litter to an enormous size thanks to the love of his owner, Emily Elizabeth—has charmed generations. It’s no wonder the big red pup is also the official mascot of Scholastic.
As reported by TheWrap, Paramount has confirmed that development for Clifford The Big Red Dog 2 is underway. However, details remain scarce, with no announcements regarding the release date, cast, or whether the sequel will follow the same hybrid release format as the first movie.
The sequel’s announcement comes after Clifford The Big Red Dog exceeded expectations at the box office, earning $22 million during its opening weekend. The real success, however, came from streaming: Clifford quickly became the most-watched original film on Paramount+, breaking records for the platform. Given its success, especially amidst the pandemic, Paramount may consider a similar hybrid release model or even an exclusive streaming launch for the sequel.
While fans wait for more updates, excitement is building for the return of Clifford and his heartwarming adventures. Whether it’s on the big screen or streaming at home, audiences can look forward to another delightful romp with Emily Elizabeth and her enormous, red furry companion. Get ready—Clifford will be bounding back into our lives soon!
