Ben Stiller is keeping Meet the Parents fans buzzing about the upcoming sequel, Focker-in-Law — especially now that Ariana Grande has joined the cast.
On the red carpet at the 2025 Emmy Awards, Stiller praised Grande for fitting right in with comedy veterans like Robert De Niro and Owen Wilson. “She’s such a pro, she’s so funny, she’s so talented… what she’s doing in this movie is very unique,” Stiller said.
Grande’s role is still under wraps, but PEOPLE confirmed her casting earlier this year. The film brings back Stiller as Greg Focker, De Niro as Jack Byrnes, along with returning stars Blythe Danner and Teri Polo.
The franchise, which began in 2000, is famous for awkward family moments and high-stakes comedy. With Grande now in the mix, fans can expect a fresh twist when Focker-in-Law hits theaters.
