Oscars 2025: Lena Waithe, Ethan Slater, React to Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande Wicked Performance
Ariana Grande is test driving a new character.
The Wicked star is set to join Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller in an upcoming sequel of Meet the Parents, E! News has confirmed.
Details about her character remains firmly under wraps. However, she’s stepping into a full Fockers-Byrnes reunion, as Blythe Danner and Teri Polo will also reprise their roles in the fourth installment. John Hamburg—who co-wrote 2000’s Meet the Parents, 2004’s Meet the Fockers, and 2010’s Little Fockers—will direct the new project, taking over for Jay Roach, who held that position for the first two films. (Paul Weitz helmed the third.)
Though the sequel’s title and plot details haven’t been shared, fans can mark their calendars for sooner than later. The film is set to release on November 26, 2026.
