Ariana Grande will be in the new movie Meet the Parents 4. She joins a cast featuring original Meet the Parents stars Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, and Blythe Danner. The movie is expected to hit theaters on Wednesday, November 25, 2026, according to Pitchfork.
The first Meet the Parents movie came out in 2000. The sequel, Meet the Fockers, was released in 2004, and the third film in the franchise, Little Fockers, arrived in 2010. The new Meet the Parents is being written and directed by John Hamburg.
In a recent interview with Variety, one of the film’s producers, Jane Rosenthal, gave a glimpse into Meet the Parents 4. “Ben Stiller is now the same age that Bob [De Niro] was when we did the first one,” she said, “and his kids have grown up, and they have to come home and meet the parents. I can’t disclose anything else about the plot.”
Warner Bros. has announced that Ariana Grande will be leading the voice case for its upcoming animated adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic, which is due to arrive sometime in 2028 – according to a Variety report, it’s slated to arrive in March of that year on IMAX.
The trailer kicks off with Greg’s father-in-law, retired CIA agent and Vietnam veteran Jack Byrnes (De Niro) administering a lie detector test to Olivia, asking her whether her love for Henry is genuine and, crucially, what she thinks of the family. Throughout the clip, Olivia rarely misses a step and even gets the Focker guard dog approval, winning Jack’s respect and Henry’s envy. The film, which John Hamburg wrote and directed, follows 2010’s Little Fockers, 2004’s Meet the Fockers, and 2000’s Meet the Parents. It also stars Beanie Feldstein, Owen Wilson, Eduardo Franco, Blythe Danner, and Teri Polo. It premieres on November 26, AKA Thanksgiving.
