Jackass Ends on Its Own Terms, Director Confirms

Director Jeff Tremaine says in a Filmmaker Toolkit interview that Jackass: Best and Last truly marks the end of the franchise, noting Johnny Knoxville’s injuries mean the same level of stunts isn’t feasible anymore.

The documentary-style lookback revisits archival footage and the behind‑the‑scenes chaos that defined the series, underscoring a 26-year run that’s apparently ending on the creators’ own terms.
