Marcello Hernández and Skyler Gisondo have been announced as the voices of Shrek and Fiona’s sons, Fergus and Farkle, in the upcoming animated sequel Shrek 5. They will join Zendaya, who was previously confirmed to voice their sister, Felicia.
The film continues the story of the beloved ogre family while bringing a new generation of characters into the spotlight. Original stars Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy are set to reprise their iconic roles as Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey, respectively.

“We’re thrilled to bring back these classic characters and introduce a new chapter for the next generation of fans,” a DreamWorks spokesperson said.
The studio has yet to confirm a specific release date, but the project is actively in development, marking one of the studio’s most anticipated returns.
