In November 2015, Sony Pictures Animation announced that Hotel Transylvania 3 will be released on September 21, 2018. Despite previously leaving the series to develop other projects, Genndy Tartakovsky will return as director for this installment.

Television series

A television series based on the film is scheduled to begin in early 2017. Developed and produced by Nelvana Limited, in partnership with Sony Pictures Animation, the series will focus on the teenage years of Mavis and her friends at the Hotel Transylvania. Sony Pictures Television will handle distribution in the United States, while Nelvana will distribute the series outside the United States. It will air on Disney Channel worldwide.

Goodnight Mr. Foot

Goodnight Mr. Foot is a traditionally animated short film based on Hotel Transylvania, featuring Bigfoot from the film. Premiering in time for Halloween, on October 26, 2012, the short was shown exclusively in Regal Entertainment Group Cinemas, before the theatrical shows of Hotel Transylvania. As Sony Pictures Animation's first traditionally animated film, it was written and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky himself, who also animated the short with the help of Rough Draft Studios. Animated in the style of Bob Clampett, Tex Avery and Chuck Jones, Tartakovsky created the short in four weeks during the final production stages of the main film. Bigfoot (who has a non-speaking role in Hotel Transylvania) was voiced by Corey Burton while the Witch Maid was voiced by Rose Abdoo. Both voice actors provided additional voices in Hotel Transylvania.

Taking place before the events of Hotel Transylvania, the short stars Bigfoot, whose rest in Hotel Transylvania is being constantly disturbed by an overly enthusiastic witch maid.

Puppy

Puppy is an upcoming animated short film based on Hotel Transylvania, featuring Dennis from Hotel Transylvania 2. The film is directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, and will be shown in theaters alongside The Emoji Movie. The film will be set in the hotel, as Dennis gets a pet, and the hotel learns to cope with it.
