In the early 2000s, horror movies were so funny that they made your stomach hurt from laughing. The Wayans brothers made Scary Movie, a brutal satire that didn’t just make fun of Hollywood’s scariest movies; it turned the whole genre on its bloody head.
Then, all of a sudden, it went away.
Fans didn’t know what was going on. The original creators left the property, and sequels that some fans called “soulless” or “missing the spice” took their place. Memes became nostalgic. People on Reddit were asking the same thing: What happened to Scary Movie? Will it ever come back?
Scary Movie 6 is coming back from the dead, like a scary movie villain coming out of the shadows. And this time, the people who came up with the crazy ideas are in command.
Scary Movie 6 Release Date Confirmed
The official release date for Scary Movie 6 in U.S. theaters is June 12, 2026. Brazil will get it a day earlier, on June 11. Miramax is paying for the movie to be made, while Paramount Pictures is in charge of getting it out to theaters.
This isn’t simply another sequel; it’s being sold as a return to form. And fans have every reason to believe it.
The Wayans Are Back — And They’re Not Holding Back
The holy trio of spoof comedy—Keenen Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans—are back in the writing room after taking a break from the last several entries. Not only writing the script, but also producing it and, according to rumors, playing their renowned parts again.

These short updates sent fans into a frenzy, fueling speculation, rewatches, and nostalgic memes across platforms.
Behind the Spoof — What’s Actually Going On?
Insiders suggest that the new movie will make fun of recent horror hits like M3GAN, Smile (Sorria), The Nun II, and Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, even though the exact story details are still under wraps. But don’t be surprised if Gen-Z’s love of TikTok, AI, and turmoil with influencers gets caught up in the fight too.
What else is in the works? A probable “meta” twist. Some fans think the movie might be making fun of reboots by having characters realize they’re locked in a series that keeps getting remade.
Cast: Who’s Coming Back?
Regina Hall, who is also known as the famous Brenda Meeks, recently said, “I would love to know if Brenda and Ray ever got married… or if he’s still confused.”
Anna Faris, who played Cindy Campbell, is said to be interested, but this has not been confirmed.
Also going around in the rumor mill:
- Shawn Wayans is back as “Ray,” the guy who may or may not have been gay.
- There have been rumors that Carmen Electra, Shannon Elizabeth, and even Charlie Sheen would make cameos.
That being said, no formal casting has been released yet, other than the Wayans’ stated creative involvement.
