About Trolls
The core story is three films: Trolls (2016), World Tour (2020) and Band Together (2023), following Poppy and Branch from Bergen rescue to troll-tribe reunion to BroZone rescue. The half-hour Trolls Holiday (2017) slots between the first film and the first series. The Beat Goes On! ran eight Netflix seasons from 2018 to 2019 with a new voice cast and loose continuity.
World Tour introduced the six music tribes, and TrollsTopia (2020 to 2022) builds directly on that ending across seven Hulu and Peacock seasons. Holiday in Harmony (2021) follows the second series, and Band Together closes the current run. No fourth film has been confirmed, so this list ends with the 2023 movie.
Good to know
Director Walt Dohrn said in October 2023 that his team has ideas and is ready for a fourth film, but DreamWorks has announced nothing as of September 2026. Shorts such as Tiny Diamond Goes Back to School and It Takes Three are optional extras. Streaming homes shift by region; the story order above holds regardless.
