The Jackass franchise is set to return to theaters in 2026 with its fifth big-screen installment, much to the delight of fans who have long awaited more of its wild, outrageous stunts and pranks. 

The news was confirmed as the next chapter in the long-running series continues to come together after years of speculation.

The upcoming movie, simply known as Jackass 5, marks another major addition to the beloved comedy franchise that first debuted in the early 2000s. 

Johnny Knoxville, the star of the franchise, shared in a post on Instagram, “Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang.” 

“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!!”

Audiences can expect the same blend of fearless physical comedy, unexpected antics and laugh-out-loud moments that have defined the series through its theatrical run and multiple television seasons.

While specific plot details and cast confirmations are still under wraps, the announcement has already generated buzz among longtime supporters of the series. 

Jackass has built a loyal following by pushing boundaries with its unique brand of slapstick humour and unpredictable stunts, often involving elaborate setups and daring physical feats performed by the cast.

The franchise’s return comes more than a decade after the release of Jackass Forever, which brought back many familiar faces and reenergised interest in the series. 

Producers and fans alike have spoken in recent years about the desire to revisit the format that made Jackass a cultural touchstone, and Jackass 5 appears to be the next step in that evolution.

Releasing another theatrical entry also highlights the franchise’s lasting appeal, especially as audiences continue to seek out comedy that feels immediate and communal, the kind that hits hardest on the big screen surrounded by fellow viewers. 

The decision to bring Jackass back to cinemas confirms that studios still see value in high-profile comedy releases that can draw audiences out of their homes and into shared viewing experiences.

Fans of the series will be watching closely for news about trailers, the returning cast and the kinds of absurd challenges that have made Jackass a defining example of dare-devil comedy for more than 20 years.

With its 2026 return, Jackass 5 aims to remind audiences why the franchise became a phenomenon, blending chaotic humour with the unexpected and delivering a theatrical experience that’s as irreverent as ever. 

Stay tuned for updates as the project moves forward.

Bitcoin is poised for another year of extreme volatility and potentially record-breaking price moves.

According to the survey of industry analysts and executives conducted by CNBC, the predictions for the cryptocurrency’s 2026 price range from a low of $75,000 to a staggering high of $225,000.

Behind this wide divergence lies a complex backdrop of shifting monetary policy, regulatory uncertainty, and questions about institutional demand.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $91,000, roughly 30% below its all-time high of over $126,000 set in October 2025.

Among the boldest calls, Bit Mining’s chief economist, Youwei Yang, predicts a trading range of $75,000 to $225,000, citing potential interest rate cuts and a “more accommodating regulatory stance” alongside macroeconomic risk.

Other notable predictions include:

• Standard Chartered: $150,000, revised down from $300,000, with gains now expected to be driven mainly by ETF buying instead of corporate treasuries. 
• Maple Finance: $175,000 buoyed by rate cuts and the growth of bitcoin-backed lending.
• Standard Chartered: $150,000, revised down from $300,000, with gains now expected to be driven mainly by ETF buying rather than corporate treasuries.
• CoinShares: $120,000 to $170,000, with action weighted toward the year’s second half pending regulatory and Federal Reserve clarity.

On the whole, analysts agree that major drivers will include U.S. Federal Reserve Policy, the potential passage of crypto regulatory legislation, and the sustained flow of funds into spot Bitcoin ETFs, which may now be the most significant price catalyst

Chris Stapleton is set to bring his All-American Roadshow back to Detroit this summer, with a major country co-sign in tow.

The singer-songwriter will headline Ford Field on August 8, joined by fellow country superstar Lainey Wilson for a one-night stadium show that blends two of the genre’s biggest hitmakers. The announcement marks Ford Field’s second major concert reveal of the day, following news that Bruno Mars will perform at the venue in May.

The Detroit stop is part of Stapleton’s expansive 24-city All-American Roadshow, which includes nine stadium dates across the country. In addition to Detroit, the tour will hit major markets such as Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa and Boston. Singer Allen Stone is also slated to perform at the Ford Field show.

Other special guests for the tour include Ashley McBryde, Carter Faith, Grace Potter, Maggie Rose, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Molly Tuttle, Nikki Lane, The Teskey brothers, and Zach Top.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. on Jan. 16 through Ticketmaster.

Both Stapleton and Wilson are familiar faces at Ford Field. Stapleton last played the venue in July 2024, when he shared the bill with George Strait, while Wilson took the stage there in April 2023 as an opening act for Luke Combs. Stapleton has also previously headlined Comerica Park, making him one of the few artists to perform at both of Detroit’s major sports stadiums.

The August concert adds to a packed 2026 schedule for Ford Field, which is also set to host Foo Fighters on August 6 and Ed Sheeran later in the month.
