Chris Jericho's Growing Schedule
Jericho to appear in Micheal B. Jordan Film
On April 1, 2026, the wrestling world erupted as Chris Jericho made a surprise return to All Elite Wrestling during an episode of *Dynamite* in Winnipeg, Canada. After months away from AEW television—sparking endless rumors of a potential WWE homecoming—the “Lionheart” chose to come back home, opening the show with his iconic presence and reminding everyone why he remains one of the most magnetic figures in the industry. “I’m home,” he declared in classic Jericho fashion, instantly reigniting fan excitement and setting the stage for what promises to be another unforgettable chapter in his legendary career.
Yet even as he steps back into the ring, Jericho is proving he’s far more than just a wrestling icon. In a recent candid conversation on *Close Up with Renee Paquette*, the AEW star shared exciting updates on his growing acting résumé, revealing projects that show his ambitions extend well beyond the squared circle.
One standout revelation: Jericho has landed a strong role in an upcoming major series produced by Michael B. Jordan. Keeping the title and character details close to the vest (as is his style), he simply noted, “I have a really good part in a big series coming out soon that is produced by Michael B. Jordan.” The tease alone has fans buzzing about what could be his biggest on-screen opportunity yet.
He also confirmed an appearance in *Dexter: Resurrection*, a project that had already generated online chatter after paparazzi captured him filming scenes on the streets of New York City. “I was just on Dexter. That was kind of released by the paparazzi on the streets of New York City. That’s coming up,” Jericho shared with a knowing smile.
These acting gigs cap off an incredibly busy period away from AEW. During his hiatus, Jericho continued rocking stages with his band Fozzy, took on additional film work (including a role in *Margo’s Got Money Troubles*), and even produced the upcoming documentary *VIETSLAM – Squashing The Cultural Gap*. The feel-good project explores the rise of professional wrestling in Vietnam and is set to stream everywhere starting July 14, 2026. He’s also previously delivered multiple substantial parts on the CBS series *Tracker*, showing he’s no stranger to landing meaningful screen time.
What makes Jericho’s story so compelling right now is the perfect balance he’s striking. Fresh off his April return to AEW, he’s already back on television regularly while continuing to chase creative passions in music, film, television, and documentary work. Far from slowing down, the man of a thousand holds is evolving—proving that the Y2J era isn’t just alive and well in the ring; it’s expanding into new arenas entirely.
Whether he’s delivering a Lionsault or stealing scenes on screen, Chris Jericho continues to do what he’s always done best: entertain on his own terms and keep us all guessing what’s next. The Lionheart is back—and the world is watching.
