Ben Stiller has established himself as a prominent comedic actor over the past several decades, making significant contributions both in front of and behind the camera as a director, writer, and producer.
Currently, he is heavily involved in the production of the acclaimed series Severance, serving as an executive producer for its second season, which is set to premiere on Friday, January 17. In addition to his producing duties, Stiller directed seven episodes of the first season of Severance. While his television projects tend to be more serialized, Stiller's film career includes several comedy franchises that have experienced varying degrees of success.
The original Zoolander was followed by Zoolander 2 over a decade later, but the sequel received a significantly more negative reception than its predecessor. Stiller is also well-known for his lead role in the family-friendly Night at the Museum series.
Recently, one of Stiller's major trilogies has received exciting news regarding its streaming availability.
The Meet the Parents trilogy is set to find a new streaming home. The original film, released in 2000, is a romantic comedy that follows Greg Focker as he hilariously struggles to impress his girlfriend's parents before proposing. The movie features a stellar cast, including Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo, and Blythe Danner. Its success led to two sequels, Meet the Fockers and Little Fockers. Recently, it was announced that development is underway for Meet the Parents 4, which will continue Greg Focker's story. In exciting news for fans, Netflix has confirmed that the entire trilogy will soon be available on its platform.
