Overview
- The film, which opens Friday, June 26, will be released in cinemas worldwide by Paramount and is being promoted as the franchise’s final big-screen outing with Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius and Jason “Wee Man” Acuña back together.
- Directed by co-creator Jeff Tremaine, the feature mixes new stunts with unseen archival footage from the show’s 26-year run and has a trailer that previews several extreme gag stunts.
- Knoxville has framed the decision to stop on safety and age, citing prior serious injuries including a concussion and a brain haemorrhage sustained on Jackass Forever and saying he can no longer risk stunts that could cause another concussion.
- Paramount+ will reintroduce restored versions of the original Jackass TV episodes in the UK on June 26 after the series was temporarily removed so the team could return the cuts and music to match the original MTV broadcasts.
- Born on MTV in 2000 and expanded into multiple films, the franchise’s planned theatrical finale closes a 26-year chapter and may curb future high-risk stunt projects while preserving the show’s original creative intent for streaming viewers.
