Viewers can return to the fast-paced, sprawling metropolis of Zootopia with the Disney Plus original series Zootopia+. Along for the ride is a number of new and returning voice actors making up the Zootopia+ cast.

Rather than focusing on the adventures of Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), the first rabbit to join the police force, and her wily fox partner Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), Zootopia+ is made up of six short episodes that explore the lives of some of the city’s other inhabitants during the events of the film.
