Meet the Parents 4 release announced with major pop star joining Robert De Niro | Films | Entertainment

It’s been 15 years since the last adventure of Ben Stiller’s Gaylord “Greg” Focker and his grumpy father-in-law, played by Robert De Niro.

Following 2000’s Meet the Parents, we had 2004’s Meet the Fockers and 2010’s Little Fockers.

Today, Universal Pictures has announced Meet the Parents 4’s title will be Focker-in-Law, indicating that it is now Greg’s turn to be a father-in-law.

Also reprising their roles from the first three films are Owen Wilson, Blythe Tanner and Teri Polo.

Meanwhile, a major pop star is joining the cast for the latest installment in the comedy franchise.

The singer in question is Wicked’s Ariana Grande, who we’d guess is playing Greg’s daughter-in-law. Fans will remember that in Little Fockers, he had twins Samantha and Henry, who will now be all grown up. So our best bet is that Grande is playing Henry’s fianceé.

Focker-in-Law hits cinemas on November 25, 2026.
