Monsters at Work, a TV continuation of the beloved Monsters, Inc. franchise, released its first season exclusively on Disney+ back in 2021.

On Tuesday, Disney unveiled the first trailer for Monsters at Work Season 2, which sees main character Tylor Tuskman recruited to work at a rival company. Along with the trailer, Disney confirmed that the new season will premiere on the Disney Channel on April 5th, with two brand new episodes. Each Saturday after that will see two more new episodes released, until the entire season makes its way to Disney+ on May 5th. You can check out the full trailer below!

In addition to series leads Ben Feldman and Mindy Kaling, Monsters at Work Season 2 will once again see the return of John Goodman and Billy Crystal, reprising their roles as Sulley and Mike, respectively.
