After years of speculation, Shrek 5 is officially happening, and we’ve got a trailer to prove it. Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey) and Cameron Diaz Fiona) are back in a fifth film about a green, grumpy ogre, his wife and best donkey friend. Shrek 5 will also introduce us to Shrek and Fiona’s daughter Felicia, voiced by Zendaya (Dune, The Odyssey), and their two sons Fergus and Farkle, voiced by Marcello Hernandez (Saturday Night Live, Happy Gilmore 2) and Skyler Gisondo (Superman, Booksmart).
The trailer doesn’t tell us much about the story we’ll get in Shrek 5, other than that the family is heading to the big city and Donkey is annoying. We also get glimpses of at least the two sons, though don’t hear them speak, and a snowman (who may be a sex worker?) that is DreamWorks Animation’s response to a certain Olaf.
I’m not sure what to say other than that.
The movie is directed by Conrad Vernon and Walt Dohrn, both of whom have worked on previous DreamWorks projects, including Shrek 2. Vernon also voices Gingy the Gingerbread Man, which is fun, and Dohrn voices Rumpelstiltskin in Shrek Forever After.
Shrek 5 is currently scheduled to premiere in theaters in Summer 2027. (It used to be July 2026, but here we are.)
Check out the trailer below.
