The collaborators have agreed to write the animated sequel, but there's no word yet as to whether they'll also direct.

Warner Bros. is looking to recapture some of that "Everything is Awesome" magic for The LEGO Movie 2.

Deadline reports that co-writers and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller will return to at least pen the sequel. Directing might still be on the table, but nothing official has been announced.

Lord and Miller broke into features with their 2009 adaptation of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs before moving on to 21 Jump Street, the first LEGO movie and then 22 Jump Street, which was also released this year. When it time for the Cloudy sequel, the duo wrote the story for the film and produced, but passed on directing.

The LEGO Movie 2 opens May 26, 2017.
