Monsters at Work season 2 is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in 2024, featuring a talented ensemble cast comprising actors from previous Monsters Inc. and Monsters University films. The spinoff series follows the journey of Tylor Tuskman, a determined graduate from Monsters University who begins his career at Monsters Incorporated. Regrettably, Tylor joins the company after the transition from scaring to laughter, resulting in his reassignment to the Monsters Inc. Facilities Team, also known as MIFT.
Despite not initially being what he had envisioned, Tylor soon develops strong bonds with Val, Fritz, and other employees of Monsters Inc. By the conclusion of the first season, Tylor manages to find his way to the Laughter floor, setting the stage for the upcoming plot in season 2 of Monsters at Work. The presence of acclaimed actors Nathan Fillion from The Rookie and Aubrey Plaza from Parks and Recreation in the confirmed cast has already generated significant anticipation for the release of Monsters at Work season 2 exclusively on Disney+.
