Scary Movie 6

Scary Movie 6 — Release Date: 5 June 2026. Directed by Michael Tiddes and written by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans, and Rick Alvarez, the film stars Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Anthony Anderson. Produced by Miramax and Ugly Baby Productions, the film is the sixth installment in the long-running Scary Movie franchise and marks the return of the Wayans family to the series for the first time since Scary Movie 2 in 2001.

The story reunites Cindy Campbell, Ray Wilkins, Shorty Meeks, and Brenda Meeks after the return of the same masked killer they encountered decades earlier. Revisiting the self-aware horror-comedy structure that defined the earliest entries in the franchise, the film combines slasher parody with contemporary pop-culture satire while reconnecting with characters and comedic dynamics associated with the original films. The narrative blends murder mystery elements, exaggerated genre conventions, and meta-commentary on modern horror cinema.

Anna Faris reprises her role as Cindy Campbell alongside Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks, Marlon Wayans as Shorty Meeks, and Shawn Wayans as Ray Wilkins. Returning franchise cast members also include Jon Abrahams, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Dave Sheridan, while newcomers such as Damon Wayans Jr., Heidi Gardner, Sydney Park, and Olivia Rose Keegan join the ensemble cast. Anthony Anderson also returns following appearances in earlier franchise installments.

Directed by Michael Tiddes, the film continues the franchise’s tradition of parodying major horror titles and contemporary entertainment trends. Confirmed references include films and franchises such as Scream, Get Out, Smile, M3GAN, The Substance, Terrifier, and Longlegs, alongside broader pop-culture satire and celebrity references. The screenplay was developed with significant creative involvement from the Wayans brothers, whose return became a major aspect of the film’s development and promotion.

Principal photography took place at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta between October and November 2025, with additional filming completed in 2026 to incorporate newer genre references. The production combines practical comedy staging, horror-inspired set pieces, and franchise callbacks designed to reconnect the series with the tone and energy of its earliest films.

Scary Movie 6 is scheduled for theatrical release in the United States on 5 June 2026 through Paramount Pictures.
