Let’s make this simple: You want to know if there are any post or mid-credits scenes in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. The answer is there are not.
After all these years, the Planet of the Apes franchise is still going strong. The latest entry, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, picks up centuries after the events of 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes, as Caesar’s descendant Noa makes his mark on a world where human civilization is but a distant memory.
Starting on Friday, IGN will be breaking down the ending of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and what it means for potential sequels. Be sure to check back then for much more. But for now, there’s one all-important question to answer before heading to the theater.
Does Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Have Any Post-Credits Scenes?
As mentioned above, there are no mid-credits or post-credits scenes in the newest Planet of the Apes movie. You’re free to leave once the credits start rolling, though we’d certainly recommend sticking around to pay tribute to all the hard-working cast and crew who brought these ape characters to life.
The lack of any post-credits scenes isn’t terribly surprising, as they aren’t usually included in the current reboot series. The lone exception is 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which featured a post-credits scene showing the effects of the rapidly spreading ALZ-113 pandemic.

In IGN’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes review, Eric Goldman gave the sequel an 8 out of 10, writing, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes isn’t as emotionally complex as Dawn of the Planet of the Apes or War for the Planet of the Apes, and isn’t attempting to punch you in the gut like those films do. But as this series enters its post-Caesar, Disney-owned era, Planet of the Apes is still on remarkably solid footing. Advancing the timeline is a smart move, allowing director Wes Ball to depict a dramatically changed world while screenwriter Josh Friedman shifts gears into an appealing adventure mode. This is a different Planet of the Apes, but it still feels like it fits in with what came before.”
