Many rumours continue swirling that Shrek 5 has been cancelled. But that’s not true at all. The movie was already confirmed and started its pre-production works long time back.

Shrek 5 was actually confirmed seven years ago. Many fans earlier believed that the next movie would start from the point where Shrek 4 titled Shrek Forever After ended. But later news rolled out that the producers were reluctant to continue with that story as NBCUniversal wanted a totally new concept.

On March 15, Shrek 5 production took to twitter to announce that the movie would be delayed and postponed to 2021 due to coronavirus outbreak. On the other hand, the production of Shrek 5 is no longer in continuation as NBCUniversal has different priorities currently. The team at Dreamworks has been asked to work on the new ‘Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives and Forty Thieves’ instead of Shrek 5.
