In a surprising turn of events, Johnny Knoxville has announced the arrival of a new Jackass movie, slated for a theatrical release on June 26, 2026. The news broke through Knoxville’s Instagram account as well as the official Jackass account and Gorilla Flicks, Jeff Tremaine’s production company.
Knoxville shared with fans that Jackass would be making a comeback this summer, hinting at more details to follow. While the post did not explicitly mention “Jackass 5,” reputable sources like Variety and TheWrap have confirmed that this upcoming project is indeed a fresh installment in the beloved franchise.
This new movie comes four years after Jackass Forever, which hit screens in 2022 and was positioned as a farewell to the original cast. The film tugged at nostalgia strings while also upping the ante with both familiar faces like Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, and Danger Ehren, as well as newer additions like Rachel Wolfson, Jasper Dolphin, and Zach Holmes. Jackass Forever proved to be a commercial success, raking in $23.1 million domestically and over $80 million worldwide, perhaps explaining the reversal of its supposed “farewell” status.
While details about the cast of the new movie remain under wraps, it’s unclear which original members will return and in what capacity. Bam Margera is expected to be notably absent after being ousted due to substance abuse violations during the last film. Paramount Pictures will be releasing the movie as part of their expanded 2026 lineup.
Since its inception as an MTV series in 2000, Jackass has carved out a unique place in pop culture by blending slapstick stunts, pranks, and a distinct lack of self-preservation. What started as shocking television has evolved into a long-standing film franchise that continues to draw audiences of all ages. As Variety critic Owen Gleiberman once noted, the performers’ enduring commitment and physical sacrifices have added an unexpected layer of defiance to the franchise’s appeal.
With Knoxville’s announcement, fans are left to ponder what the next chapter of Jackass will bring. One thing is certain – Jackass is far from over, and this summer, theaters will once more be filled with the controlled chaos that defines the franchise.
