Actor, stuntman, and Jackass co-creator Johnny Knoxville has today confirmed that a fifth Jackass film is coming to cinemas this year, on June 26, 2026. Knoxville announced the news via Instagram.

“Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang,” wrote Knoxville. “We wanted to let you know that this summer Jackass is back! We will see you in theatres June 26th. More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first!”

A fifth Jackass film (or perhaps… eighth, if you feel like counting the .5 sequels built with unused footage that came in the wake of the second, third, and fourth Jackass movies) follows 2022’s Jackass Forever. The successful fourth instalment was certainly pitched as a last hurrah for the core crew of the trailblazing, slapstick stunt comedy series, but precisely who is on deck to return in Jackass 5 (and in what capacity) is still unknown in the wake of this initial announcement.

IGN’s Jackass Forever review, which has now erred in dubbing it the “final chapter in American comedy’s most chaotic saga”, declared it “a hilarious last hurrah for its original crew,” and noted “few recent films have been funnier or more delightfully nostalgic.”

EB Games has made a proposal to close all its remaining stores in New Zealand, as well as its NZ distribution centre, reports The New Zealand Herald.

The proposal came as a letter sent to employees which explained “[t]his proposal is not final, and no decision will be made until we have completed a full consultation process in good faith with affected team members.”

The letter did, however, go on to confirm that if the proposal proceeds, all employment roles at EB Games New Zealand will vanish. The total number of job losses this will result in has not been reported. Employees have until January 12 to respond to the closure proposal.

EB Games’ Australian and NZ operation consists of 374 stores across the two countries, with 38 of them in New Zealand. The chain remains a part of US video game retailer GameStop, which acquired the EB Games business back in the mid-2000s. However, while EB Games locations in the US were rebranded as GameStop, stores in Australia and NZ remained identified as EB Games only.
