Ariana Grande Wraps Filming on ‘Focker In-Law’ with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro.
Ariana Grande is officially done filming her next big movie — and she’s giving fans a sneak peek of all the fun that happened behind the scenes.
The Wicked actress and pop superstar took to Instagram on Friday to reveal that she’s wrapped production on Focker In-Law, the newest entry in the Meet the Parents franchise, directed by John Hamburg for Universal Pictures.
The comedy is set to hit theaters on November 25, 2026.
In her emotional Instagram post, Grande shared several behind-the-scenes photos from set, including a sweet shot of her hugging Ben Stiller, who reprises his iconic role as Greg Focker, and another picture with co-star Beanie Feldstein.
“These past few months have been so, so unimaginably special. I love my Fockers, and I love my Byrnes… so, so very much. I will miss this bunch terribly. See you next November!” she wrote in the caption.
The film reunites much of the original Meet the Parents cast — Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo, and Blythe Danner — while adding new faces, including Skyler Gisondo and Grande herself.
Hamburg, who also wrote the screenplay, is bringing the beloved dysfunctional family back to life after more than a decade.
While plot details are still being kept secret, insiders told The Hollywood Reporter that Focker In-Law centers on the grown-up son of Greg and Pam Focker (Stiller and Polo), who becomes engaged to a bold and overbearing woman — played by Grande — who seems all wrong for him.
Of course, chaos and comedy are sure to follow when the Byrnes and Focker families meet again.
The Meet the Parents franchise has been a massive box-office hit, earning over $1.13 billion worldwide across its first three films: Meet the Parents (2000), Meet the Fockers (2004), and Little Fockers (2010).
The series became a pop culture favorite for its awkward humor and unforgettable family dynamics, especially the tension between Stiller’s anxious everyman and De Niro’s intimidating ex-CIA father-in-law.
For Grande, the project marks another milestone in her growing film career. Just last year, she was on the press tour for Wicked, earning critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination for her supporting role.
With Focker In-Law now wrapped and Wicked: For Good set to release on November 21, it’s safe to say Ariana is owning November once again.
