DreamWorks just dropped the Shrek 5 teaser trailer, and the internet has exactly one thing on its mind: ogres. The first look at the fifth mainline Shrek film — now set for December 23, 2026 — has everyone revisiting the swamp, and the reactions are exactly as chaotic as you'd expect.

If your timeline is anything like ours, the Shrek 5 teaser is all anyone's talking about. The trailer gives us our first glimpse of a grown-up Felicia, Shrek and Fiona's teenage daughter, alongside returning voices Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. Zendaya joins the cast as Felicia, with Skyler Gisondo and Marcello Hernández rounding out the ogre triplets. But the character redesigns have split fans down the middle — some love the sharper look, while others say it drifts too close to generic Disney territory.

The last mainline Shrek film, Shrek Forever After, hit theaters in 2010, which means it's been 16 years since we last saw the big green guy in his own movie. That's a long time between swamp visits. Shrek 5 was originally targeting a summer 2026 release before DreamWorks pushed it to the holiday season, giving the animation team more time. And if the trailer buzz has you craving an ogre marathon tonight, there's good news: Peacock has every Shrek film ready to go right now.

All four main Shrek movies — the 2001 Oscar-winning original, Shrek 2 (still one of the best animated sequels ever made), Shrek the Third, and Shrek Forever After — are streaming on Peacock. The two Puss in Boots spinoffs, including the gorgeous Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, rotate through the service as well. It's the most complete Shrek library any single platform has offered in years.

If you're in the mood for something live-action, tonight's also a good time to catch up on The Pitt on Max. Noah Wyle's fast-paced medical drama has been steadily building buzz, and its real-time episode format makes it one of the most gripping new series on streaming right now.

Tonight's viewing is sorted — whether you're team swamp or team ER. What's on your screen tonight?
