- Quick Answer: Focker-in-Law is the fourth Meet the Parents film, releasing on November 25, 2026. It stars Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, featuring newcomer Ariana Grande.
The highly anticipated comedy legacy sequel Focker-in-Law is set to release in theaters later this year, with the original cast members returning. Fans have been looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the new chapter.
Let's explore everything we know so far about Focker-in-Law.
What is the Plot of Focker-in-Law?
Focker-in-Law is the fourth installment in the Meet the Parents franchise. It will center on Henry Focker, the son of Greg and Pam, who faces family chaos when he decides to marry a strong-willed woman who appears to be his complete mismatch.
The first trailer was recently released, giving fans an early look at the upcoming film and the new Focker family chaos it will explore.
Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro recently showed up at Universal Pictures' CinemaCon presentation to discuss the film and teased what audiences should expect.
Taking the stage solo at first, Stiller quipped that the 15-year gap between the third and fourth installments was a "fully intentional" creative choice. Noting that he has reached the same age De Niro was when the original film debuted in 2000, he joked, “I guess you could say I’m the new De Niro of the franchise.”
This prompted De Niro himself to emerge, firing back with faux-indignation. “Don’t say that. It’s very disrespectful,” De Niro teased, adding that Stiller’s “unflattering comparison” had forced him onto the stage to defend his honor.
The stage banter at CinemaCon will likely be the same dynamic that audiences can expect in the upcoming film.
Who is Starring in Focker-in-Law?
Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, and Teri Polo are returning in Focker-in-Law and reprise their respective roles from the previous installment.
Skyler Gisondo will be playing the all-grown-up Henry Focker, while Beanie Feldstein is playing Henry's twin sister, Samantha Focker.
Ariana Grande joins the cast to play the role of Olivia Jones, a former FBI hostage negotiator and Henry's girlfriend-turned-fiancée.
Stranger Things star Eduardo Franco is also seen to have a role in the film, based on the trailer. However, the details regarding his character are still under wraps.
