Fans of the beloved Shrek franchise have been waiting with bated breath for the return of the big green ogre, his witty sidekick Donkey, and the gang of unforgettable characters that made the films iconic. Now, with the highly anticipated Shrek 5 scheduled for release in 2025, DreamWorks has officially teased what’s to come with a first look that’s already generating excitement and curiosity among fans. While details remain under wraps, here’s everything we know so far based on the early glimpses and the latest info about the next chapter in the Shrek saga.

The first look at Shrek 5 hints at a film that balances nostalgia with fresh, new challenges for our favorite characters. While Shrek Forever After (2010) felt like a conclusive end to Shrek’s journey—a moment of closure for the character—Shrek 5 seems to open a new door into the ogre’s world.

The teaser trailer and artwork from DreamWorks suggest that Shrek (voiced again by Mike Myers) will face new personal challenges. In the early images, Shrek appears older, perhaps more weary, reflecting the passing of time. There’s an undeniable sense that the character has evolved—he’s no longer the naive, grumpy ogre we first met in 2001 but a more reflective, perhaps even a little nostalgic, version of himself. And this could mean Shrek is tackling deeper questions, possibly around family, legacy, and the passage of time.

The title—Shrek 5—seems to imply that this film won’t completely erase the lessons learned from the past, but rather build on them. The artwork shows Shrek with his family, including Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and their children, in what appears to be a more settled life in their swamp. But as anyone who’s seen the Shrek films knows, calm never lasts too long, and an adventure of some sort is sure to shake things up once again.
