Get ready to have secondhand embarrassment; the endearing but awkward Greg Focker is returning to our screens in a fourth installment of the Meet the Parents franchise.
It all began with a simple trip to meet the in-laws in the 2000 film Meet the Parents, in which Greg – played by Ben Stiller – endured relentless grilling from his fiancée’s CIA-trained father, Jack Byrnes – played by Robert De Niro.
The chaos escalated in the 2004 film Meet the Fockers, when Jack met Greg’s free-spirited, boundary-pushing parents, Bernie and Roz Focker.
And by the time the 2010 film Little Fockers rolled around, Greg was still trying to win Jack’s approval while juggling the complexities of fatherhood.
There’s scarce details about what poor Greg will face next in Meet the Parents 4, but here’s what we do know so far.
Is there a new Meet the Parents?
Yes, it’s been confirmed that a new film in the Meet the Parents franchise is currently in development at Universal Pictures.
No release date has been set yet though; watch this space.
Who will star in Meet the Parents 4?
The original core cast, Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner, are in early talks to star in the currently untitled Meet the Parents 4.
Currently, there’s no word on whether Owen Wilson, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, who have appeared in previous instalments of the franchise, will return.
However, it has been confirmed that John Hamburg, who co-wrote all three prior Meet the Parents films, will write the screenplay for the upcoming fourth film.
