Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro are officially back together, reuniting for the next chapter of the iconic Meet the Parents franchise with the upcoming film Focker In-Law.
Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro recently reunited at CinemaCon 2026 to debut the first trailer for Focker In-Law, the fourth installment in the beloved comedy franchise. The appearance marked a major moment for fans, as the duo returns to their iconic roles as Greg Focker and Jack Byrnes.
The upcoming film continues the story more than a decade after Little Fockers, shifting the dynamic as Greg now finds himself in the role once held by Jack—meeting his own child’s partner. This generational twist brings a fresh perspective while maintaining the franchise’s signature awkward family tension and comedy.
Joining the cast is Ariana Grande, who plays Olivia, the girlfriend of Greg’s son. Her character is introduced through classic Meet the Parents humor, including a lie detector scene that mirrors one of the franchise’s most memorable elements.
The film also brings back familiar faces, including Blythe Danner and Teri Polo, while continuing to build on the long-running chemistry between Stiller and De Niro. Their on-stage interaction at CinemaCon—filled with playful banter—highlighted the comedic energy fans can expect from the new installment.
Set for release on November 25, 2026, Focker In-Law aims to reintroduce the franchise to a new generation while honoring the legacy of the original films that made it a global comedy hit.
