John Hamburg, co-writer of the original trilogy, takes over as writer and director for this installment. The returning cast includes 5005 === Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, 6371 === Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, and Owen Wilson.

The film's title, "Focker-in-Law," plays on 5005 === Ben Stiller's character's surname, "Focker," which sounds similar to "Father." This time, the "in-Law" addition highlights Stiller's character, Greg Focker, transitioning from son-in-law to a challenging father-in-law. He clashes with 7395 === Ariana Grande's character, his son's fiancée, who is portrayed as a strong-willed former FBI hostage negotiator. The movie is slated for a North American release on November 25th, during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
