by

If you’re eagerly anticipating “Shrek 5” in 2027 but can’t wait that long, you’ll be delighted to know that all six Shrek movies are now available for home streaming! Featuring Mike Myers as the gruff yet lovable ogre Shrek, Eddie Murphy as his chatty donkey companion, and Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, the first film premiered in 2001 and went on to be one of DreamWorks’ most profitable franchises ever. To date, the series has grossed an impressive $4 billion across its six films. Reminiscent of a bygone era, the original movie still enchants viewers, both old and new. Regrettably, tracking down the entire Shrek series on streaming platforms had been notoriously tricky – but that’s no longer the case!

Enthusiasts of the Shrek series can look forward to streaming all six films starting this September; however, you’ll need multiple streaming platforms and a bit of patience to watch them all. From September 1st, Shrek (2001), Shrek 2 (2004), and Shrek the Third (2007) can be found on both Peacock and Netflix, with Netflix also hosting Shrek Forever After (2010). The Puss in Boots movie series, featuring Antonio Banderas as the agile cat character, will also become available this month. Starting September 1st, you’ll find Puss in Boots (2011) on Netflix. Lastly, Peacock will start streaming the franchise’s latest and sixth installment, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022), from September 10th.

Why You Should Watch the Shrek Franchise

The Shrek series, which comprises some of the dearest animated franchises for many people, serves as a cherished memory from their childhoods. It offers a delightful deviation from the traditional Disney fairy tale mold by portraying a faulty yet lovable protagonist in Shrek and a non-stereotypical damsel in Fiona. The PG rating of all six movies establishes them as children’s films, but their charm extends across generations. They incorporate humor that caters to different age groups, including satirical takes on classic fairy tale themes, clever dialogue, pop culture references, and a wealth of amusing exchanges between Shrek and Donkey, resulting in memorable lines such as “What are you doing in my swamp?” and “Ogres are like onions. They have layers.

At an opportune moment, all six Shrek movies have found streaming platforms, renewing interest in the franchise, particularly since Shrek 5 has been announced and is set to feature Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, along with Zendaya as their daughter Felicia. The specifics of the movie’s storyline are being kept secret, with Walt Dohrn at the helm as director. Shrek 5 is slated for a theater release on June 30, 2027.
