Disney and Pixar previewed the first trailer for the upcoming “Inside Out” television series, called “Dream Productions,” at D23.

“Thank you for making ‘Inside Out 2’ the number 1 animated film of all time,” Pixar’s Pete Docter said onstage at D23 in Anaheim. “If you love the film as much as we do, i’ve got some great news.”

Docter said the new series, coming in 2025, is set between the first and second installments of the film — it’s an in-betweenquel.

The show is set in a studio where Riley’s dreams are made every night — on time and on budget. Some memories need extra processing, so they are sent to Dream Productions, and when Riley falls asleep, we see the film crew making the dreams like a film set.

“This is our first original series, and we wanted to do something unique and bold, unlike anything we’ve done before,” Docter said.

Docter, the chief creative officer at Pixar Animation Studios, first teased the series in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. In June, he’d told the outlet that the show as done: “We have finished. It’s coming out next spring. I’m not sure that there’s been a specific release date,” he said.

“In the first film, remember we go to Dream Productions to see how Riley’s dreams are made? It semi-explains why they’re so weird. We’ve continued the exploration of the power of dreams and how they affect us in our waking life, as well. So it’s pretty cool.”

“Inside Out 2,” the sequel to the critically acclaimed “Inside Out,” surpassed “Frozen 2” as the highest-grossing animated film in history, earning a whopping $1.5 billion at the global box office.

The film, which cost $200 million to produce and jolted Pixar from its box office slump, recently overtook another Disney powerhouse, Marvel’s “The Avengers,” and paved its way to the top 10 highest-grossing movies at the global box office of all time.

Nearly a decade after the original, “Inside Out 2” revisits the mind of the now-teenaged Riley, whose familiar emotions of Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Disgust (Liz Lapira), Fear (Tony Hale) and Anger (Lewis Black) were running the show. As Riley heads to summer camp, a whole bunch of new emotions, such as Anxiety (Maya Hawke), Envy (Ayo Edebiri), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser) and Nostalgia (June Squibb), show up and bring some chaotic energy.
