Release Details

Paramount Pictures unveiled the trailer for the fifth and final Jackass film, Jackass: Best and Last, slated for theatrical release on June 26. The news was shared via a joint Instagram post by Johnny Knoxville, the official Jackass account, and Gorilla Flicks, Jeff Tremaine’s production company.

Franchise Evolution and Context

Jackass originated as an MTV reality-stunt series 26 years ago, later expanding into four feature films and multiple spin-offs. The latest entry, *Jackass Forever* (2022), continued extreme pranks and physical comedy. The upcoming film is the franchise’s final installment, ending a multi-decade run that began as an MTV series and expanded into multiple films and spin-offs.

Principal Cast and Production Team

The returning core ensemble includes Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Jason “Wee Man” Acuña, Dave England, Preston Lacy and Ehren McGhehey. Production is overseen by Gorilla Flicks, the Jeff Tremaine-founded production company.

Data & Statistics

  • Series lifespan: 26 years (since its MTV debut)
  • Feature films released: 5 (including the upcoming title)
  • Original cast members appearing: 8 (Knoxville, Margera, Steve-O, Pontius, Acuña, England, Lacy, McGhehey)
  • Injury report: Knoxville suffered brain hemorrhage, concussion, broken wrist, broken rib after being struck by a bull during *Jackass Forever* filming.

Health Impact on Lead Performer

The 2022 injuries prompted Knoxville to limit his participation in high-risk stunts. On the “Books That Changed My Life” podcast he said he is “way over my limit for concussions” and can no longer risk head trauma, though other cast members remain willing to perform such feats.

The Instagram announcement highlighted the franchise’s return, calling the summer launch “a bang” and confirming the June 26 theatrical date. The post, jointly issued by Johnny Knoxville, the official Jackass account, and Gorilla Flicks, served as the primary official communication about the film.
