The Toy Story franchise is about to expand with the release of its fifth installment on its way. Launched in 1995 as the studio's first full-length animated picture, Pixar's beloved IP has made over $3 billion worldwide with its four films. The franchise built something fun and touching on the foundation of friendship and loyalty. It spoke to a generation of kids about growing up and what it means to have bonds that last forever.

Toy Story 5 is due this summer, and all the internet can ask for is whether it will land on Netflix or not.

The streaming details of Toy Story 5 have not yet been disclosed, as it is still due for its theatrical run. The Pixar sequel releases on June 19, 2026, in the theatres. Since there is no update on streaming details, it is a bit difficult to determine if it will make its way to Netflix.

Produced by Jessica Choi, it is co-directed by McKenna Harris and Andrew Stanton, who has writing credits on every Toy Story movie. Concept art of the movie depicting the toys navigating a room full of electronics was unveiled at Disney's D23 Expo in 2024. This was around the same time that the voice recording for film started.

Returning cast members include Tony Hale (Forky), Joan Cusack (Jessie), Tim Allen (Buzz), and Tom Hanks (Woody). There are some fresh castings for the new characters, like Conan O'Brien, who will play the clever toy Smarty Pants, Ernie Hudson as Combat Carl, and Anna Faris will play Lilypad.

The familiar characters return in a sequel where the advancements of modern times pose a threat to their existence.

After the events of Toy Story 4, Jessie is now in charge of Bonnie's room, with Buzz acting as her deputy, while Woody has left the children's room to assist with misplaced toys. Although the gang has not been together for a while, Woody is eventually called back when it seems that modern electronics are edging the toys out of Bonnie’s life.

The “toys vs. tech” theme of the fifth installment seemed to be in full swing in the official trailer of the movie. With the release of Toy Story 5 just around the corner, it will be a good idea to catch up with the previous installments streaming online right now. Nevertheless, it still remains to be seen whether Toy Story 5 will land on Netflix or not.
