Scary Movie 6 is the upcoming installment in the beloved horror-comedy franchise, set to hit theaters on June 12, 2026. This film marks the return of the original creators—Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans—who were instrumental in the success of the first two films. They are reuniting after nearly two decades to co-write and produce this new chapter, promising to recapture the irreverent humor that made the series a hit.
- Return of Ghostface: The iconic slasher from the Scream franchise is set to make a comeback in Scary Movie 6. Dave Sheridan, who portrayed Officer Doofy (a parody of Ghostface) in the original film, confirmed that Ghostface will return, aligning with the spoof’s tradition of satirizing popular horror characters.
- Modern Horror Parodies: While specific plot details are under wraps, the film is expected to parody recent horror hits, including the Scream sequels, Terrifier, Saw, and the latest Halloween trilogy. This continuation of the franchise’s tradition of spoofing contemporary horror films will likely blend nostalgia with fresh humor.
- Potential Cast Returns: Original stars like Anna Faris and Regina Hall have expressed interest in reprising their roles as Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks, respectively. However, as of now, their involvement has not been officially confirmed.
- Production Details: The film is being produced by Miramax and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Principal photography is expected to commence in late 2024, with the release slated for mid-2026.
Fans of the franchise can look forward to a return to the series’ roots, with the Wayans brothers bringing their signature comedic style back to the big screen. Scary Movie 6 aims to deliver the same level of humor and satire that made the original films a cultural phenomenon.
