"The film follows Shrek, Donkey, and Shrek's family (including two sons and a daughter) on a new big-city adventure."

Zendaya voices Shrek and Fiona's daughter, while the core trio of Myers, Diaz, and Murphy reprise their iconic roles, both outlets confirmed. The addition of Zendaya and other newcomers marks a significant expansion of the franchise's voice cast.

Variety noted that the trailer's storybook opening serves as a callback to the original film's framing device, grounding the sequel in familiar territory even as it ventures into new settings. The big-city plot suggests a departure from the fairy-tale kingdom of Far Far Away, though specific locations remain under wraps.
