Meet the Parents 4: The Unexpected Reunion
USASat Jun 21 2025
The movie world is buzzing with news of a reunion. Owen Wilson is back to play Kevin Rawley in Meet the Parents 4. This time, he'll be facing off against Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, and Teri Polo. There's a new face in the mix too: Ariana Grande. She's stepping into the role of Greg's new fiancée, a woman who seems like a poor match for him. This is a big deal because Wilson's character, Kevin, is wealthy and can do just about anything. He's also a bit of a thorn in Greg's side, especially when it comes to winning over Pam's strict father, Jack Byrnes. The plot details are still hush-hush, but it's clear that this movie will be full of surprises.
The creative team behind this comedy is just as impressive as the cast. John Hamburg, who co-wrote the first three films, is back to write the screenplay and direct. He's also the director of Wilson's latest Apple TV series, Stick. The production team includes some heavy hitters too. Jane Rosenthal and Robert De Niro are producing through Tribeca Productions. Jay Roach will produce through Delirious Media. Ben Stiller and John Lesher are producing through Red Hour Films. Hamburg will produce through Particular Pictures. Universal Pictures is overseeing the project with Matt Reilly and Jacqueline Garell at the helm.
This isn't the first time the Meet the Parents franchise has been a hit. The original film grossed over 330 million dollars worldwide in 2000. Its sequels, Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers, were also huge successes. Together, the franchise has raked in over 1. 13 billion dollars globally. With such a track record, it's no wonder that Paramount is jumping on board to co-produce and release Meet the Parents 4 overseas. Universal Pictures has set the release date for Wednesday, November 25, 2026.
The Meet the Parents series has always been about family dynamics and the hilarious misunderstandings that come with them. With Owen Wilson back in the mix and a new cast member like Ariana Grande, this fourth installment promises to be just as entertaining. It's a reminder that sometimes, the best comedies come from the most unexpected places. The original movie was a massive hit, and its sequels didn't disappoint either. With a proven formula and a talented cast, Meet the Parents 4 is shaping up to be another box office success. It's a testament to the power of comedy and the enduring appeal of a good laugh.
