“Shrek 5” has set its release date for summer 2026, DreamWorks announced Tuesday.

The animated sequel will premiere timed to the original film’s 25th anniversary and star franchise regulars Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy.

“Shrek 5” will be directed by Walt Dohrn, who last directed “Trolls Band Together” for DreamWorks Animation. He has a long history with the franchise, having worked on the second and third “Shrek” films as a writer and artist and serving as head of story on the fourth “Shrek” film (it’s also worth noting that Dohrn voiced the character of Rumpelstiltskin in “Shrek Forever After”).
