Jackass: Best and Last is an upcoming American reality slapstick comedy film directed and produced by Jeff Tremaine, along with producers Spike Jonze, and Johnny Knoxville, and will be released by Paramount Pictures. It will be the fifth and final main installment in the Jackass film series, following Jackass Forever (2022). The film stars original Jackass members Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Danger Ehren, along with Poopies, Zach Holmes, Jasper Dolphin, Rachel Wolfson, and Eric Manaka, who all became new members in the previous Jackass film.[1] It is scheduled for theatrical release on June 26, 2026.
Synopsis
Jackass: Best and Last is a compilation of stunts, skits, and pranks, intercut with on-set talking heads with its cast. The film will bring back the biggest stunts and pranks from the franchise, as well as brand new ones, and never-before-seen footage.[2] The movie will be a mix of old and new footage.[3]
Some of the new stunts include Steve-O getting a painful prostate exam from a robot named Larry, Sean “Poopies” McInerney putting a shock collar on his penis, and an “escape room from hell” that punishes everyone’s bodies.[4]

Production
Development
On 6 November 2025, Steve-O said that they had a number of Zoom calls to discuss the 25th anniversary of Jackass. “What we landed on was a bit more ambitious than timely, but this next year, we’re likely to see the Jackass franchise rear its ugly head”, he said.[9]
Johnny Knoxville announced the film on his official Instagram account on January 8, 2026.[10] During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on January 15, 2026, he said that he cannot do any stunts that can lead to a concussion anymore,[5] as in Jackass Forever (2022), he got a broken rib, a broken wrist, a concussion, and brain hemorrhage during a stunt with a bull.[11]
Steve-O said on his podcast that the movie will be a mix of old and new footage.[3] He also said the movie will serve as a celebration of the entire franchise, bringing back the best bits of the TV show and previous movies, along with brand new ones, and never-before-seen footage.[12]
Bam Margera, who was fired from the production of Jackass Forever, will only appear in the new movie through archived footage.[2] Bam himself later said that he will not film new scenes for the upcoming film.[13]
Knoxville said this will be the last Jackass film. “This is the natural place to end”, he said.[14]
On 10 April 2026, Knoxville announced a charity sweepstake, where the movie’s official title was announced as Jackass: Best and Last.[15]
Knoxville presented the first official trailer at CinemaCon on 16 April 2026.[4]
Filming
Principal photography started in late February 2026, with the entire main cast of Jackass Forever returning.[5] The opening sequence was filmed for five days, along with some smaller bits.[16] Filming wrapped on 13 March 2026.[17]
Explosions expert Tory Belleci was on set for a portion of filming, and some of his ideas were filmed. He also came up with the idea of surfing with dynamite after testing the idea for MythBusters. The stunt was ultimately scrapped as it was determined to be logistically improbable.[18]
Injuries
Dave England ruptured a tendon in his right middle finger after trying to dig a coin out of new cast member Zach Holmes‘ anus.[19]
Release
The film is scheduled for theatrical release on June 26, 2026.[20]
