The Jackass franchise is set to return to cinemas in 2026 with its fifth big screen, much to the delight of fans who have been waiting for more of its wild, outrageous stunts and pranks.
The news was confirmed as the next chapter in the long-running series continues to come together after years of speculation.
The upcoming film, simply known as Jackass 5marks another major addition to the beloved comedy series that first debuted in the early 2000s.
Johnny Knoxville, the star of the franchise, shared in a post on Instagram, “Well a wang dang and a hot damn doodle, we’re starting the year with a bang.”
“We wanted to tell you this summer Jackass is back!! See you in cinemas on June 26. There’s more to come, but wanted you to hear it from us first!!”
Audiences can expect the same mix of fearless physical comedy, unexpected twists and laugh-out-loud moments that have defined the series throughout its theatrical run and multiple television seasons.
While specific plot details and cast confirmations are still under wraps, the announcement has already created buzz among longtime fans of the series.
Jackass has built a loyal following by pushing boundaries with its unique brand of slapstick humor and unpredictable stunts, often involving elaborate set-ups and daring physical feats performed by the cast.
The franchise returns more than a decade after its release Jackass foreverwhich brought back many familiar faces and revived interest in the series.
Both producers and fans have spoken in recent years about the desire to revisit the format that did Jackass a cultural touchstone, and Jackass 5 appears to be the next step in that development.
The release of another theatrical entry also highlights the franchise’s enduring appeal, especially as audiences continue to seek out comedy that feels immediate and communal, the kind that hits hardest on the big screen surrounded by other viewers.
The decision to bring Jackass back to theaters confirms that studios still see value in high-profile comedy releases that can draw audiences out of their homes and into shared viewing experiences.
Fans of the series will be watching closely for news on trailers, the returning cast and the kind of absurd challenges that have made Jackass a defining example of devilish comedy for more than 20 years.
Returning in 2026, Jackass 5 aims to remind audiences of why the franchise became a phenomenon, mixing chaotic humor with the unexpected and delivering a theatrical experience as irreverent as ever.
