Plot details are still being kept under wraps. However, producer Jane Rosenthal gave a small hint in an interview with Variety: “Stiller is now the same age that [De Niro] was when we did the first one, and his kids have grown up, and they have to come home and meet the parents.”

John Hamburg, who co-wrote the earlier films, is back as the writer and director. Rosenthal and De Niro, Jay Roach, Ben Stiller, John Lesher, and Hamburg himself will produce the project through Tribeca Productions.

Ariana Grande has already proven her talent in both music and film. Along with her Grammy wins and several chart-topping songs, she now has nominations from the Oscars, Golden Globes, SAG, and BAFTA. (ANI)
