Meet the Parents 4 in Development, Ben Stiller & Robert De Niro in Talks To Return

by

As a seasoned gamer of life’s cinematic rollercoaster, I must admit, the news about Meet the Parents 4 stirs a sense of nostalgia within me. The original trilogy was more than just a series of films; it was a journey I embarked on with my fellow movie-goers, sharing laughter, cringes, and warm feelings.

Meet the Parents 4 is in development at Universal Pictures.

Under the guidance of director Jay Roach, the 2000 film titled “Meet the Parents” was a hilarious comedy production. This cinematic piece featured Ben Stiller portraying the character Greg Focker, Robert De Niro as Jack Byrnes, Blythe Danner as Dina Byrnes, and Teri Polo as Pam Byrnes. Notably, it is a revamped version of the 1992 film with the same name, which was previously directed by Greg Glienna.

The original film “Meet the Parents” was succeeded by two more installments: 2004’s “Meet the Fockers” and 2010’s “Little Fockers”. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner, and Teri Polo appeared in both movies, as did Owen Wilson reprising his role as Kevin Rawley. In “Meet the Fockers”, we were also introduced to Dustin Hoffman’s character Bernie Focker and Barbra Streisand as Roz Focker.

As reported by Deadline, it appears that Universal Pictures is actively progressing with Meet the Parents 4. Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, and Blythe Danner may potentially reprise their roles, as they are currently engaged in preliminary discussions for the film.

What else do we know about Meet the Parents 4?

At the moment, specifics about the storyline for Meet the Parents 4 have been kept confidential. As of now, a director hasn’t been chosen for the upcoming film.

John Hamburg, who wrote all three previous “Meet the Parents” films, is coming back to write the fourth one. De Niro and Jane Rosenthal are producing through their company Tribeca Productions, while Roach is producing through Delirious Media. Additionally, Stiller and John Lesher will both produce through Red Hour Films.

Back in the day, I was the one who helmed films like Along Came Polly (2004), I Love You, Man (2009), Why Him? (2016), and most recently, Me Time (2022). I’ve also dabbled in scriptwriting for movies such as Zoolander (2001), its sequel Zoolander 2 (2016), and Night School (2018).

A release date for Meet the Parents 4 has not yet been announced.

These films – “Meet the Parents”, “Meet the Fockers”, and “Little Fockers” – can be found for rental or purchase on various digital platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and numerous others.
