Does Inside Out 2 have a post-credits scene?
There’s not one buttwoscenes during the Inside Out 2 credits - one plays out during the credits whilst the second comes after they have rolled. So, if you want to see them, stay in your seat!
During the initial credits roll, we see the Inside Out 2 mid-credits scene which picks back up with Riley following hockey camp. As her parents ask her how it went, Riley’s emotions start arguing with each other over how to respond. Whilst they fight she simply tells her parents that “it was good”, which gets very different reactions.
We cut to the mom’s emotions who are frustrated that all Riley can say is three words about hockey camp, with Anxiety coming out to play. The dad’s emotions meanwhile decide that if that’s all Riley has to say on the matter, it is what it is - they have better things to do like watch football. And so, they start focusing once again on the game.

The fun scene is a neat reference to the first Inside Out film which also took us inside the minds of Riley’s mom and dad, where they had similar reactions to another scenario.
Once the credits have rolled, we are treated to the Inside Out 2 post-credits scene which takes us back to the vault we saw earlier in the movie, which is home to all things Riley doesn’t really want to think about anymore.
When Joy and co. were sent there by Anxiety, they met a hooded mysterious character named Deep Dark Secret. Although at that point he wouldn’t say what the secret is, it’s finally revealed in the post-credits scene as Joy returns to ask him. Clearly - much like us - she was desperate to know.
After some hesitation he reveals the secret is that Riley burnt a hole in a rug - something he clearly feels ashamed about. To Joy though it’s no big deal as she replies saying she thought it might have been regarding the time Riley peed in the pool. Unimpressed by Joy’s response, Deep Dark Secret sighs and then locks himself back into the vault, still embarrassed by the rug incident.
Whilst these scenes don’t set up a sequel, they are nice nods back to events from both Inside Out movies that will definitely amuse fans.
Inside Out 2 is out now in theaters worldwide.
