The film was directed by David Bowers and features the same familiar cast of characters, introducing a few new ones, and also focusing on lesser characters not elaborated on in previous films, including Frank Heffley (Steve Zahn), Mr. Robert Jefferson (Alf Humphreys) and Holly Hills (Peyton List). Dog Days is the first film in the series not to be released in March.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Class Clown (2012)

Main article: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (film) § Home media

An animated short film set after the events of Dog Days, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Class Clown, was released on the home media release of Dog Days, with Zachary Gordon reprising his role as Greg Heffley, and archival audio of various other cast members from Dog Days covering the film.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (2017)

Main article: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul (film)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul was released on May 19, 2017, and is the first film to feature an entirely new cast. Jason Drucker and Charlie Wright portray Greg and Rodrick Heffley, and Tom Everett Scott and Alicia Silverstone as their parents, Frank and Susan. The film follows Greg and Rodrick convincing their family to go on a road trip for their grandmother's 90th birthday, but they actually plan on attending a video game convention. The film was critically panned by both critics and audiences upon release.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever (TBA)

In December 2012, Jeff Kinney announced that he was working on an animated adaptation of Cabin Fever to air around Christmas 2013. The adaptation would explain how Manny managed to redirect the power for all to his room and no one else's. In August 2013, Kinney stated it would be a half-hour television special, and would air on Fox in late 2014. As of 2017, no updates of the project have been announced.
