Jackass Returns: New Film Confirmed for Summer 2026 Release
The beloved stunt franchise is making a comeback with Johnny Knoxville announcing a new movie set to hit theaters in June 2026, though cast details and plot remain under wraps.
The stunt comedy franchise that made audiences cringe and laugh simultaneously is officially returning. Johnny Knoxville broke the news to fans through an Instagram post, declaring "Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang. We wanted to let you know that this summer Jackass is back!!"
The announcement comes with a concrete release date. Theaters across America will screen the new installment on June 26th, 2026. Paramount Pictures has secured distribution rights for what promises to be another wild ride of dangerous stunts and physical comedy.
What We Know So Far
Details remain scarce about the upcoming production. Knoxville promised followers that "More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first," suggesting additional information will surface as production moves forward.
The previous entry, Jackass Forever, dominated box offices in 2022. That film earned roughly $80 mn globally and claimed the top spot domestically during its opening weekend. Critics praised the movie's relentless pace and genuine entertainment value.
Cast Questions Remain
No additional cast members have been announced yet. The roster for this new adventure remains completely unknown beyond Knoxville's involvement.
One notable absence appears certain. Bam Margera won't be returning after his removal from the last film due to substance abuse problems. He made his position clear in 2025: "They have like new dudes, and what they did to me, making me go to treatment and paying for it, and then not putting me in a movie, and, you know, I had to go to court over it and I just, you couldn't offer me enough money to want to do another Jackass with them."
The franchise continues evolving with fresh faces while maintaining its signature brand of outrageous physical comedy that has entertained audiences for over two decades.
