The Jackass franchise is officially gearing up for another big-screen run. Trade reports confirm Paramount Pictures will release a new Jackass film in theatres on June 26, 2026, marking the series’ return four years after 2022’s Jackass Forever.
Official Announcement and Release Date
Johnny Knoxville teased the comeback through a joint Instagram post shared alongside the official Jackass account and Gorilla Flicks (Jeff Tremaine’s production banner). The post made the key promise clear—“We will see you in theatres June 26th.”
While the announcement did not spell out a final title, reporting indicates the release is being treated as a new theatrical installment—not a re-release or anniversary rollout.
Franchise Legacy and the ‘Forever’ Bridge
Jackass began as an MTV stunt-and-prank series and expanded into a long-running film brand built on high-risk gags, shock comedy and a loyal multi-generation audience. The most recent film, Jackass Forever (2022), brought back core faces while also adding newer performers—keeping the format alive for both legacy fans and first-timers.
Cast Expectations and Rumours
At this point, the cast lineup for the 2026 film has not been officially announced beyond Knoxville’s involvement implied by the reveal.
One return appears less likely: Bam Margera, who was cut from Jackass Forever amid contract/substance-related issues, has recently reiterated he would rather not come back, saying: “You couldn’t offer me enough money…”
Production and Promotional Outlook
With a date now locked, expectations will shift to the rollout: title reveal, cast confirmations, first-look materials, and trailer timing. The franchise’s playbook is familiar—veterans, new blood, and stunts designed to dominate conversation—but the studio and producers are keeping details tight for now.
Fan Reaction and Anticipation
Online chatter has already picked up as fans start counting down to a summer theatrical return. With June 26 set, the next wave of buzz will likely come from who’s in, what the film is called, and how the new installment balances nostalgia with escalation.
Looking Ahead
Jackass has survived reinventions, injuries, and the passage of time—because its core promise remains unchanged: chaotic spectacle, delivered with a grin. With a June 26, 2026, release now confirmed, the franchise is officially back on the calendar.
