Shrek 5 on course for 2019 release

While some might have expected the Shrek franchise to come to a close after Shrek Forever After, DreamWorks Animation has other plans. It looks like Shrek 5 will be released in 2019, alongside a Shadows from Edgar Wright and David Walliams.

THR reports that NBCUniversal plans to greenlight two DreamWorks Animation films per year with Shrek 5 and Shadows on the line-up for 2019.

It's too early for there to be any concrete details about what will be in store for everyone's favourite ogres in Shrek 5.
