Meet the Parents 4 to star Ariana Grande alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro

The fourth film in the Ben Stiller-starring comedy series, Meet the Parents 4, has found a new star to work alongside series mainstays Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. This being in pop star and actress Ariana Grande.

As reported by THR, Grande was cast with expectations that Blythe Danner and Teri Polo will make returns to their respective roles, but their negations haven’t ended yet. The film already has a trilogy of films behind it; Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, and Little Fockers, all of which were written by John Hamburg, who will also jump board for the fourth entry as its writer and director.

In terms of producers, Jay Roach has joined the project as a producer alongside Jane Rosenthal, De Niro, John Lesher, Stiller, and Hamburg. We have some time wait until the film releases, but we do know it will be coming next year.

Meet the Parents 4 releases on November 25, 2026.
