Ariana Grande to Star in 'Meet the Parents' Sequel, Stiller Praises Her Comedy Talent

According to Ben Stiller, Ariana Grande is set to star in the upcoming 'Meet the Parents' sequel, and he is full of praise for her comedic talents. In a recent interview, Stiller revealed that Grande had a cameo in 'Zoolander 2' a decade ago, appearing in an orgy scene, but he hadn't seen her since then.

Now, Grande is joining the 'Meet the Parents' franchise as Olivia Jones, the fiancée of Stiller and Teri Polo's son. Stiller says Grande is "a total natural" at comedy and that she could "do anything." He was impressed by her singing on set, describing it as an "incredible, operatic kind of soliloquy" that was just her "humming."

The fourth installment in the 'Meet the Parents' series is scheduled for release on November 25, 2026, with John Hamburg returning as writer and director. Stiller, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, and Teri Polo are all set to reprise their roles, and Skyler Gisondo will join the cast as Stiller's son and Grande's husband-to-be.

In addition to the 'Meet the Parents' news, Stiller also confirmed that more episodes of his hit show 'Severance' are on the way. While he couldn't provide an exact timeline, Stiller said the new season will arrive "soon-ish," much to the delight of the show's devoted fans.
