DreamWorks Announces Voices for Shrek 5's Sons

DreamWorks Animation has announced that actors Marcello Hernández and Skyler Gisondo will voice Shrek and Fiona's sons, Fergus and Farkle, in the upcoming fifth installment of the Shrek franchise, set for release on June 30, 2027. The news, revealed during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade amid a massive Shrek balloon float, adds fresh talent to the returning core cast and signals the studio's push to revive the beloved series after a 17-year hiatus from the mainline films.

Joining Hernández and Gisondo are franchise originals Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, and Cameron Diaz as Fiona. Zendaya rounds out the family as their daughter, Felicia, completing the voicing of the ogre triplets first introduced as newborns at the end of Shrek the Third in 2007. The children appeared briefly as infants in the 2010 film Shrek Forever After, where Shrek grappled with the challenges of parenthood. A recent teaser trailer depicted Felicia as a young adult, suggesting the story will explore the family's life as the kids have grown.
