The fourth Meet the Parents movie has set a title. "Focker in-Law" is the official title of the entry.
Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson will return for the fourth installment in the long-running comedy series, while Ariana Grande is joining the cast.
The film’s title references the surname of Stiller’s character, Greg Focker. In the original movie, he endures a lot of painfully awkward hijinx while meeting his partner’s parents for the first time.
“Meet the Parents,” which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, became a box office blockbuster with $330 million worldwide.
The comedy of errors then spawned two commercially successful sequels: 2004’s “Meet the Fockers” (which introduced Greg’s parents, Barbra Streisand and Dustin Hoffman) and 2010’s “Little Fockers.”

John Hamburg, who wrote the first three films, will pen and direct “Focker in-Law.”
Stiller teased the fourquel during a 25th anniversary screening of “Meet the Parents,” saying they only returned because they found an “organic reason” to revisit the characters.
“What spurred the idea is that I’m the age that Bob was when we did the first movie,” Stiller told the crowd at the Tribeca Festival. “It felt like a mirror to the first film, where one of my kids is thinking about introducing his person to the family.”
De Niro revealed he’s read the screenplay, though he stopped short of offering any plot details. “The script is really fun,” he shared. “I’m looking forward to it.”
Audiences, meanwhile, won’t get a glimpse of the on-screen shenanigans until “Focker in-Law” opens in theaters on November 25, 2026.
