Sixteen years after the franchise went dormant, "Meet the Parents" is finally returning next month with its fourth installment, "Focker-In-Law." A new batch of character posters has now been unveiled, offering fresh looks at the sequel’s sprawling cast.
John Hamburg, who co-wrote all three previous films, takes over as writer-director. Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner and Owen Wilson are all back, while newcomers include Eduardo Franco, Beanie Feldstein, Skyler Gisondo and Ariana Grande.

The title "Focker-In-Law" once again plays on the surname of Stiller’s character, with “Focker” serving as a twist on “father-in-law.” After spending the earlier films as the beleaguered son-in-law, Stiller’s Greg Focker now becomes the difficult father-in-law himself, clashing with his son’s fiancée, played by Grande. Her strong-willed character is also a former FBI hostage negotiator, making her more than capable of fighting back. "Focker-In-Law" opens in North American theaters on November 25, 2026, just in time for Thanksgiving.
