‘Shrek 5’ Will Finally Arrive in July 2026 (for Real This Time)

After more than 25 years, the fifth 'Shrek' movie will finally arrive in July 2026 with Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz all returning.

The announcement was accompanied by a short teaser clip set (of course) to Smash Mouth’s indelible hit “All Star,” which famously played during the opening credits of the first Shrek movie. “The All-Star Returns” reads the tagline for the film, after a big, green five — sprouting round Shrek ears — finishes bouncing around the screen. The first Shrek movie— based on William Steig’s picture book of the same name — arrived in May 2001, with Myers playing the titular ogre, Murphy his trusty friend Donkey, and Diaz as Princess Fiona.
