Johnny Knoxville and the Gang Make One Final Raucous Return, Streaming on Paramount+ September 24

JOHNNY KNOXVILLE AND THE GANG MAKE ONE FINAL RAUCOUS RETURN FOR JACKASS: BEST AND LAST, STREAMING ON PARAMOUNT+ SEPTEMBER 24

Paramount+

September 9, 2026 – Paramount+ announced today that jackass: best and last, the final installment in the iconic comedy franchise, will make its exclusive streaming debut on Paramount+ September 24.

In jackass: best and last, which was released theatrically earlier this year, Johnny Knoxville and the gang return for one final fling at the big screen. Featuring all-new stunts and stupidity along with the greatest hits and biggest laughs from the past, jackass: best and last is a joyously raucous celebration of all the mischievous camaraderie that you’ve come to love and expect from these idiots over the past 25 years. So, grab your buddies, raise your glasses and experience the cinematic event that promises to be the last time you’ll ever laugh this hard.

In addition to Knoxville, many familiar favorites join this iteration’s mischief, including Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man (Jason Acuña), Dave England, Danger Ehren (Ehren McGhehey), Preston Lacy, Rachel Wolfson, Jasper, Dark Shark (Compston Wilson), Poopies (Sean McInerney) and Zach Holmes.

jackass: best and last received near universal praise for its gut-busting slapstick humor, with The Wrap’s Todd Gilchrist poignantly summarizing the film as “a final chapter that serves as a requiem, a victory lap and an envelope-pusher all at once.”

Paramount Pictures and MTV Entertainment Studios present, in association with Domain Entertainment, a Dickhouse Production, jackass: best and last, directed by Jeff Tremaine. Executive Producers include Pete Chiappetta , Anthony Tittanegro, Andrew Lary and Greg Iguchi. Producers include Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze, Johnny Knoxville and Shanna Zablow Newton.

jackass: best and last arrives on Paramount+ following the restoration of the TV series’ first three seasons earlier this year.

Movies

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

A massive alien presence of enormous power enters Federation space destroying three powerful Klingon cruisers and neutralising everything in its path. As it heads towards Earth, Admiral James T. Kirk returns to the helm of an updated U.S.S. Enterprise and sets course to meet the aggressor head-on.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)

23rd century: the Federation Starship U.S.S. Enterprise is on routine training manoeuvres and Admiral James T. Kirk seems resigned to the fact that this inspection may well be the last space mission of his career. But Khan is back...

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)

Admiral Kirk’s defeat of Khan and the creation of the Genesis planet are empty victories. Spock is dead and McCoy is inexplicably being driven insane. Then a surprise visit from Sarek, Spock’s father, provides a startling revelation.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

It’s the 23rd century and an alien power is evaporating the oceans. To save mankind, Kirk and his crew must time travel back to 1986 where they find a world of punk, pizza and exact-change buses that are as alien as anything they’ve ever encountered.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)

The crew of the Federation starship Enterprise is called to Nimbus III, the Planet of Intergalactic Peace. They are to negotiate in a case of kidnapping only to find out that the kidnapper is a relative of Spock. This man is possessed by his life-long search for the planet Shaka-Ri which is supposed to be the source of all life. Together they begin to search for this mysterious planet.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

After years of war, the Federation and the Klingon empire find themselves on the brink of a peace summit when a Klingon ship is nearly destroyed by an apparent attack from the Enterprise. Both worlds brace for what may be their deadliest encounter.

Star Trek: Generations (1994)

Picard’s only hope for a future rests within the Nexus ... and a legendary captain from the past.

Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

They call themselves the Borg – a half-machine collective with a sole purpose: to conquer and assimilate all races.

Star Trek: Insurrection (1998)

When the crew of the Enterprise learn of the federation plot against the inhabitants of a unique planet, Captain Picard begins an open rebellion.

Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)

Set a course for a galaxy of unparalleled action and adventure as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his Starship crew battle a chilling new adversary…that just happens to hold a shocking link to Picard!

Star Trek (2009)

The greatest adventure of all time begins with Star Trek, the incredible story of a young crew’s maiden voyage onboard the most advanced starship ever created: the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

When a ruthless mastermind, Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch,) declares a one-man war on the Federation, Captain Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise set out on their most explosive manhunt of all time.

Star Trek Beyond (2016)

Dispatched on a rescue mission to the farthest reaches of space, Captain Kirk, Spock and the crew are separated after crash-landing on an uncharted hostile world. Only a rebellious alien warrior can help them reunite and find a way off the planet.

Series

Star Trek: Discovery S1-5

Star Trek: Discovery follows the voyages of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new life forms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself. The series features a new ship, new characters, and new missions, while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers.

Star Trek: Enterprise S1-4

Set in the 22nd century, nearly 100 years before James T. Kirk, Star Trek: Enterprise takes place during the early pioneering days of deep space exploration, when interstellar travel is in its infancy and the United Federation of Planets is still decades away. Captain Jonathan Archer is the prototype for Starfleet captains to come; he's bold, intensely curious and eager to venture where no man has gone before. Unlike the seasoned, sometimes unflappable officers of the 24th century, the crew of Star Trek: Enterprise exhibits a sense of wonder and excitement, as well as a little trepidation about the strange things they'll encounter. With their star charts mostly empty, they'll have to prove they're ready for life among the stars.

Star Trek: Lower Decks S1-2

Developed by Emmy^® Award winner Mike McMahan (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites), Star Trek: Lower Decks, a half-hour animated comedy series, focuses on the support crew serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships, the U.S.S. Cerritos, in 2380. Ensigns Mariner, Boimler, Rutherford and Tendi have to keep up with their duties and their social lives, often while the ship is being rocked by a multitude of sci-fi anomalies.

Star Trek: Picard S1-2

Star Trek: Picard features Sir Patrick Stewart reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard, which he played for seven seasons on Star Trek: The Next Generation. The series follows this iconic character into the next chapter of his life.

Star Trek: Prodigy S1-2

A ragtag group of adolescents seize a lost Starfleet ship to search for a better life. But to survive the deepest reaches of space and avoid those who hunt them, the misfit crew must learn to work together to stay one step ahead and solve the mystery that surrounds their ship.

Star Trek: Short Treks S1-2

TX date: 18 November Star Trek: Short Treks are stand-alone stories, each running approximately 10-15 minutes. Each short is an opportunity for deeper storytelling and exploration of key characters and themes that fit into Star Trek: Discovery and the expanding Star Trek universe. Rainn Wilson plays Harry Mudd in a short he also directs, and Aldis Hodgestars in another as Craft, a man who finds himself the only human on board a deserted ship. Additional episodes include a deep dive into Saru’s (Doug Jones) backstory as the first Kelpien to join Starfleet, and Tilly’s (Mary Wiseman) journey aboard the U.S.S. Discovery and her friendship with an unlikely partner.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy S1

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy introduces viewers to a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism. Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves and a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy stars Oscar^® winner Holly Hunter as the Chancellor of Starfleet Academy, the Starfleet cadets played by Sandro Rosta, Karim Diané, Kerrice Brooks, George Hawkins and Bella Shepard, plus Zoë Steiner, Tig Notaro, Robert Picardo, and guest stars Oded Fehr and Mary Wiseman, as well as recurring guest stars Gina Yashere and Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S1-4

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series features fan favourites from season two of Star Trek: Discovery, Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Number One and Ethan Peck as Science Officer Spock. The series follows Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy.

‘PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie’ Director Cal Brunker Takes Us on a Journey to the Island of Lost Pups | Interview

If you were to dream up a perfect storyline for younger moviegoers this summer, you really couldn’t do better than “the PAW Patrol rescue pooches visit a mysterious dinosaur island!” That’s precisely the appealing premise of PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, the third chapter in the beloved franchise's cinematic canon, which opened in theaters on Friday, August 14.

Directed and co-written by the talented Cal Brunker, who also helmed the two previous features, PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie finds the show’s famous pups Chase, Marshall, Skye, Rubble, Rocky, Marshall, Zuma and Everest in an exciting adventure where they come upon a lost world of dinosaurs after their ship gets lost in a storm. Longtime collaborator Bob Barlen co-wrote the screenplay, which is based on the hit animated  preschool show created by Keith Chapman, first introduced in the summer of 2013. The voice cast includes Carter Young, McKenna Grace, Terry Crews, Meredith MacNeill, Ron Pardo, Jennifer Hudson, Rain Janjua, Hayden Chemberlen, Fortune Feimster, Jameela Jamil, Bil Nye, Paris Hilton and Snoop Dogg!

Perseverance Pays Off

“I think this one is the best of the three movies,” Brunker told Animation Magazine in a recent interview for the publication's July 2026 issue. “It’s also my favorite because I’m somebody who has loved dinosaurs all my life. It’s been a dream to get to make a movie with the pups and dinosaurs together.”

The director, whose credits also include The Nut Job 2, Escape from Planet Earth, Son of Bigfoot and Bigfoot Family, explains that each PAW Patrol outing explores a different movie genre. “They each give us a new playground to play,” he notes. “The first movie was a trip to the city, while the second feature was a superhero movie, and now, with the third one, we have a dinosaur/jungle theme going on. Obviously, the show has played around with Rex and dinosaurs before, so when that possibility came up, I just jumped at it.”

The new adventure began about three and half years ago, when Brunker and his team at Montreal’s Mikros Animation, which also worked on the previous two movies, got the greenlight. “We have an incredible team at Mikros, and they’re my favorite studio in the whole world to work with,” says Brunker. “I think this is the best work they’ve done, and everyone’s really proud of how the movie looks.”

One of the big goalposts for the team was making the jungle backgrounds look designed and not simply generic and noisy as seen in many other children’s animated fare. “We didn’t want it to look like flat wallpaper, so we worked very closely with our production designer Peter Chan and our art director Pierre-Antoine Moelo for a more designed and intentional feel,” says Brunker. “When you look back at some of the classic Disney 2D jungle backgrounds, you notice that they always had these great shapes. They weren’t just this mess of a repetitive, green background. We had this big technical ask from Mikros to create a moving jungle. They really bent over backwards to make the whole setting look really alive and immersive so it really pulls the audience in.”

“I would watch the show with my own kids and could see how engaged they were by these characters. What I love about PAW Patrol is that it’s a really non-cynical, heartfelt family property. In the movies, we try to offer some kind of takeaway for the kids that also resonates with adults.” — Writer-director Cal Brunker

Learning to Roar

One of the big scene-stealers of the third movie is a very cute, pink dinosaur named Rhubarb. “He is certainly a favorite character of mine,” says Brunker. “We wanted to explore what would happen if a puppy got a puppy! So, in this case, it’s the team’s Marshall meeting this new baby T. rex, who is very playful — but he hasn’t found his roar yet. So, that’s a bit of his journey as the pups try and teach him how to road. I won’t give away too much, but Rhubarb is a ton of fun, and he and Marshall have a very heartfelt relationship.”

The design of the film’s giant Jurassic beasts was another one of the film’s notable challenges. “As someone who has always loved dinosaurs and grew up loving Jurassic Park, I knew we needed to make dinosaurs that fit in the world of the pups, but I also wanted them to be majestic. We needed to keep that sense of wonder for kids, so they couldn’t look goofy and cartoony. Rhubarb, the baby pink dinosaur, is fun and playful, but the bigger ones are not expressive with their faces in a cartoony way. They needed to be grounded and believable so that we could hang on to that sense of awe and wonder that you get from dinosaurs.”

Art director Pierre-Antoine Moelo, who also worked as a visdev artist on the first feature, says one thing that sets the dinosaurs in this feature apart from other similarly themed movies is their color. “The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are mostly gray and a bit more muted in terms of colors and tint,” he points out. “One of my main focuses on this movie was to find interesting colors for them. They could be bright and colorful, but not too much because we didn’t want them to overtake the main characters. We have about 10 different species, but each one had two or three variances and different colors which helped us populate the island. In terms of design, we had to include enough details and complexity for their skin pores and scales to create believability because they are huge characters and take a lot of space on the screen.”

Brunker points out that the basic pipeline used at the studio was Maya-based. “We used that in combination of other software that helped us do all kinds of cool things like scattering the moss and flowers on the jungle floor,” says the director. “We were able to things in The Dino Movie that we couldn’t have done on the previous two. Not only is it the advancements in technology, it’s also the ability of the crew. Our core theme has been together through multiple movies, so we’re getting better and able to move more efficiently and getting more of those dollars on the screen instead of bumping heads. We’re all pulling in the same direction.”

The Parent Trap

When the conversation turned to the enduring appeal of the brand’s tail-wagging stars, Brunker mentioned that he used to watch the show with his own kids who were two and five at the time when he began working on this movie. “I could see how engaged they were by these characters,” he recalled. “I understood from watching it with them how to approach them. What I love about PAW Patrol is that it’s a really non-cynical, heartfelt family property. In the movies, we try to offer some kind of takeaway for the kids that also resonates with adults. The third movie is about the power of perseverance. We have Marshall, the clumsy pup who never gives up. I tell my own kids too that they have to learn to try stuff, and when they get things wrong, they have to keep going.”

Brunker says some of his favorite feedbacks from the movies came from parents who went to the theater expecting it to be a kiddie movie and that they’d be checking their phones all the time. “But then, they actually got swept up in the story,” he says. “And they’re like, ‘Wait! Why am I emotionally moved by this?’ That means we’ve done our job!”
