Ben Stiller has had a bit of a career resurgence with his Apple TV+ series Severance, but he hasn\u2019t left the comedy world far behind. Stiller reprises his role as Hal in Happy Gilmore 2<\/a> and he will reunite with Robert De Niro for a new Meet the Parents sequel. The title for the new installment has been revealed via Instagram<\/a>, and it follows the series\u2019 progressing story as it went from Meet the Parents to Meet the Fockers to Little Fockers, and now the fourth film will be titled Focker-In-Law.<\/p>\n

Robert De Niro,\u00a0Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Owen Wilson and Blythe Danner are on board to reprise their characters. John Hamburg, co-writer of the\u00a0Meet the Parents\u00a0trilogy, returns to write this new installment, and he also sits in the director\u2019s chair this time around. Wicked\u00a0star\u00a0Ariana Grande<\/a>\u00a0was recently announced to be joining the fray in the\u00a0role of a \u201cball-busting\u201d woman engaged to Greg (Ben Stiller) and Pam (Teri Polo) Focker\u2019s son. Superman\u2018s Skyler Gisondo<\/a> was also recently reported to be joining the film and is being predicted to play the son of Focker.<\/p>\n

People<\/a>\u00a0recently asked Stiller about the movie and the comedy actor kept his lips sealed on details except for teasing Grande\u2019s role. He stated,\u00a0\u201cI can\u2019t really talk too much, I guess, at this point about the movie.\u201d\u00a0Stiller later pays Grande a compliment by stating how she is\u00a0\u201cso great with comedy.\u201d\u00a0Stiller continues to say,\u00a0\u201cBut the character she\u2019s playing is\u2014 she\u2019s going to be really, really funny and kind of the whole engine of the new movie. So it\u2019s exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for why it\u2019s time to add another installment in the\u00a0Meet the Parents\u00a0series, Stiller said,\u00a0\u201cI think what spurred the idea was that at this point in time. I\u2019m the age that Bob was when we did the first movie. Teri [Polo] is the same age [Ariana] was when we did it, and there was this sort of sort mirror to the first film in terms of my kids are grown. And my kid, one of my kids, is thinking about introducing his person to the family. I think life informs everything that\u2019s happened in the last, you know, 25 years, and it\u2019s been a while since we did the last one. I think what like 15 years ago? So it\u2019s kind of like great to look at it as a sort of like a new thing. But of course, there\u2019s all these great memories and I feel like our connections are still there. When we get back together, it\u2019s just like, it\u2019s kind of like, all baked in there.\u201d\u00a0Despite the timing playing out perfectly, De Niro said that he was trying to get a fourth\u00a0Meet the Parents\u00a0going while\u00a0Little Fockers\u00a0was filming.<\/p>\n

You can meet the new film on\u00a0November 25, 2026.<\/p>\n
