Inside Out 2 finally arrives in cinemas today, bringing us back inside Riley's mind as she enters her teenage years and deals with a whole host of new emotions.

The sequel film sees Joy (Amy Poehler) grapple with the realisation that she may no longer be the leading lady in 13-year-old Riley's life, with puberty having ushered in four new emotions to HQ.

Front and centre is Anxiety (Maya Hawke), Envy (Ayo Edibiri), Embarrassment (Paul Walter Hauser) and Ennui – AKA Boredom (Adèle Exarchopoulos). But can all these new emotions coexist in harmony together?

By the time you're reading this, you've likely already watched and found out!

With the first film having been released back in 2015, it's been nine whole years since we've entered the world of Inside Out, with many of us growing up alongside Riley. With that in mind, we're gagging for any additional content we can get, which includes the Inside Out 2 post-credits scene.

While the first film's credit scene offered a look into Riley's mind, what can we expect from the Inside Out 2 post-credits scene? Here's everything to know.

Is there an Inside Out 2 post-credits scene?

There are actually two Inside Out 2 end credit scenes, so make sure you stay put as the credits roll in the cinema to allow yourself to soak up maximum vibes.

The first credits scene arrives quickly into the beginning of the credits, similarly to the first movie.

But make sure you don't go anywhere until the very end of the credits scene for the second Inside Out 2 post-credits scene.

Rather than alluding to what we could expect from future movies, they're more funny scenes, so if you're curious as to what you can expect then read on.

Inside Out 2 post-credits scenes explained

The first end credits scene

In the first credits scene we see Riley sitting at dinner with her parents after returning from hockey camp, with her mum asking how camp was and Ennui taking over to give the fairly unenlightening, quintessential teenage response of “It was good.”

Meanwhile, Anxiety appears in Riley's parents' minds, with them each taking different approaches – mum is annoyed and dad is chill.

If you walked out the cinema before you got a chance to see this play out, worry not because you can actually see part of the scene in the final trailer for the film.

The second end credits scene

In the second post-credits scene that appears after the first set of credits, we see Joy return to the vault to let Riley's Deep Dark Secret out, following him choosing to stay locked in earlier on. Joy encourages the mysterious Deep Dark Secret to reveal what he's been hiding through the film, with him eventually admitting that Riley burned a hole in a rug. Whoops!

Joy, exclaiming that she's relieved it's not about the time Riley weed in the pool, unintentionally scares Deep Dark Secret back into the vault, with him closing the door with a sigh.

Though it will likely be a good while until we get another Inside Out film, the end credits scenes make for a fun bonus, referencing each of the two films.

We're already looking forward to when we'll get a chance to rewatch it again!

Will we get an Inside Out 3?

Though Inside Out 2's post-credits scene doesn't set up a sequel, Pixar is reportedly already working on creating a Disney+ spin-off series that would focus on the movie studio that makes Riley's dreams.

Given how popular Inside Out was and the likely success of the second film, we would be surprised if we didn't get an Inside Out 3 down the line.

In a recent interview ahead of the sequel's launch, the film's director Kelsey Mann said she has "so many ideas" that weren't included in the upcoming movie, so there would be plenty of material to work with in a hypothetical Inside Out 3.

We remain hopeful!
