Shrek has been a huge property for DreamWorks since its release in 2001.
The animated film franchise starred Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and Antonio Banderas, just to name a few. The first Shrek film was highly praised by fans and critics alike, and made history as it was the first to win the Academy Award for “Best Animated Feature.”
What Is Coming Up in the ‘Shrek’ Franchise?
As Shrek grew in popularity, sequel films and spin-offs were released. As of writing, Shrek has received a total of four films, while its spin-off, titled Puss in Boots, has a sequel in 2022. Alongside the movies, television specials and short films were also produced for this fairytale franchise. This begs the question whether a fifth Shrek movie entry will ever be released, as there is still love for this franchise.
The last Shrek film, titled Shrek Forever After, was released in 2010, and sadly, it was seen as fine among fans and critics, receiving an average critics score of 57 percent and an audience score of 54 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. But despite its performance, after 13 years after its release, it was announced that a fifth installment is in the works. At the moment, the movie is called Shrek 5 and an official plot or scheduled release date has yet to be announced. The film will be produced by both DreamWorks and Illumination Studios.
Shrek is streaming on Netflix in the U.S.
