Buckle up, adrenaline junkies! Johnny Knoxville, the legendary actor, stuntman, and co-creator of Jackass, has unleashed an electrifying announcement that's set to shake the cinematic world! A fifth Jackass film is stampeding into theaters this summer, landing with a spectacular splash on June 26, 2026. Knoxville set the internet on fire with his Instagram reveal, declaring the crew's triumphant return to pure, unadulterated mayhem.
Knoxville ignited excitement with his trademark flair: “Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang,” he wrote. “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!”
This much-anticipated fifth installment (or call it the eighth escapade if you're counting those outrageously funny .5 movies stuffed with off-the-wall unseen footage post the previous sequels) is launching off the success of 2022’s Jackass Forever. While it felt like the ultimate curtain call for the beloved original gang, questions buzz around who’s lining up for a return to glory in Jackass 5. Brace yourself because the insanity is clearly far from over!
The chaos rollercoaster reached new heights with Jackass Forever, and IGN’s rave review labeled it as the “final chapter in American comedy’s most chaotic saga.” Reviewer Luke Reilly called it a “hilarious last hurrah for its original crew” and noted that “few recent films have been funnier or more delightfully nostalgic.”
Spine-tingling stunts, jaw-dropping antics, and side-splitting hilarity await. Who will be flinging themselves into unforeseen mishaps this time? Stay tuned for updates as the date draws near and prepare for a legendary ride back to lunacy! Want to connect with more Jackass enthusiasm?
