Actor, stuntman, and Jackass co-creator Johnny Knoxville has today confirmed that a fifth Jackass film is coming to cinemas this year, on June 26, 2026. Knoxville announced the news via Instagram.

“Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang,” wrote Knoxville. “We wanted to let you know that this summer Jackass is back! We will see you in theatres June 26th. More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first!”

A fifth Jackass film (or perhaps… eighth, if you feel like counting the .5 sequels built with unused footage that came in the wake of the second, third, and fourth Jackass movies) follows 2022’s Jackass Forever. The successful fourth instalment was certainly pitched as a last hurrah for the core crew of the trailblazing, slapstick stunt comedy series, but precisely who is on deck to return in Jackass 5 (and in what capacity) is still unknown in the wake of this initial announcement.

IGN’s Jackass Forever review, which has now erred in dubbing it the “final chapter in American comedy’s most chaotic saga”, declared it “a hilarious last hurrah for its original crew,” and noted “few recent films have been funnier or more delightfully nostalgic.”
