The hope is that the new successor will succeed to the throne and Shrek, Fiona and friends will be able to return to their old lives at the swamp.

 

The quest for a likely candidate leads to finding Fiona’s cousin Artie, who turns out to be a handful himself. While Shrek and party are away on <!–[if !vml]–><!–[endif]–>their search, Prince Charming forms a new alliance of all time baddies including Captain Hook, a Cyclops, Rumpelstiltskin,Mabel the ugly stepsister and many more.
