Shrek 5 is coming soon to a theater near you - and no, this isn’t a joke.
We thought so, too, but miracles do happen after all.
Below, we’ve compiled everything we know so far about everyone’s favorite ogre.
So scroll on down and let’s return to Far, Far Away.
Shrek 5 release date
Shrek 5 is set to hit theaters on December 23, 2026.
This marks 16 years since the fourth film, Shrek Ever After, premiered.
Of course, he manages to save the day and return to his regular timeline and swamp.
Walt Dohrn and Conrad Vernon are directing, along with director Brad Ableson.
Dohrn, who also voices the Gingerbread Man aka Gingy, wrote Shrek 2 and Vernon directed Shrek 2.
Here’s hoping we get to meet them as well.
Is there a Shrek 5 trailer?
Absent from the announcement, however, is Antonio Banderas a Puss in Boots.
I’m hopeful that he’ll appear in a later trailer or announcement.
Shrek, Shrek 2, and Shrek the Third are available to stream on Peacock.
Shrek Forever After can be streamed only on Max.
Spin-off movies Puss in Boots and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish are both on Prime Video.
