Fans will have to wait for a new episode from the team following the success of the third feature, Jackass 3D, released in 2010.
The show made stars of co-stars Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Ehren McGhehey, Jason Acuña and Preston Lacy after its initial launch.
Despite the controversy surrounding its unorthodox stunts, it was an instant hit with fans, running on MTV for three years before heading to theaters with three spin-off films.

However, there have been a series of tragedies and setbacks since the release of the last movie Jackass 3D.
In 2011, original cast member Dunn was tragically killed when his Porsche 911 GT3 swerved off the road at high speed, hit a tree and went up in flames just nine days after his 34th birthday.
Meanwhile, co-star Margera has entered rehab several times for drug, alcohol, and mental health issues.
In 2019 he was expelled from a commercial airline because he was considered too drunk to fly.
Jackass 4 will be released on July 2, 2021
