We haven’t had a “Scary Movie” instalment since 2013, but the horror parody franchise is coming back. Miramax greenlit a new sequel last April—what would likely be “Scary Movie 6”—with plans to release it in on June 12, 2026.
Keeping things in the family, the Wayans Brothers—who helped launch the franchise—are returning to helm the project, and Marlon Wayans recently teased which horror films might get lampooned this time around.
Speaking with ComicBook.com, Marlon Wayans hinted at the spoof targets: “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” the “Scream” franchise, “Heretic,” “Longlegs,” “Get Out,” “Nope,” and “Sinners.” “There are just so many great horror films to pull from that we plan on having a field day,” he said.
The Wayans, who are writing the screenplay with Rick Alvarez (“A Haunted House,” “Fifty Shades of Black,” “Scary Movie 2”), will have returning stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall reprising their roles as Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks. No other cast members have been revealed at this time.
The first five instalments in the ‘Scary Movie’ franchise grossed close to $900M worldwide. The two recurrent actresses in these films were Farris and King. The Wayans left the franchise by the third film, with writers such as Craig Mazin and David Zucker taking over screenwriting duties.
The Wayans were ready to come back for ‘Scary Movie 3,’ but Marlon confirmed that they felt insulted when producers offered them the same "crappy" deal they'd gotten for the first two movies. In reference to the sexual assault allegations that led to Harvey Weinstein’s legal demise, Wayans suggested he and his brothers were also "molested in them deals."
“Scary Movie 6” is set to begin production in October, ahead of its worldwide theatrical release on June 12, 2026, via Paramount. Miramax holds a first-look deal with the studio.
