Actors Anna Faris and Regina Hall reappear in new project - Actors Anna Faris and Regina Hall return in new project.
After a 16-year hiatus, the Scary Movie franchise is set to return with Scary Movie 6, scheduled for release on June 12, 2026. The film will see the return of several key figures from earlier entries, including Regina Hall and Anna Faris, who will reprise their iconic roles as Brenda Meeks and Cindy Campbell, respectively.
The production will also involve the Wayans Brothers, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Keenen Ivory Wayans, with the brothers co-writing the script alongside Rick Alvarez from Miramax. Michael Tiddes is confirmed as the director for the upcoming film.
Filming is set to begin in October 2025, with production taking place at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta. The movie will continue the horror parody element, featuring the return of Ghostface, the masked killer icon, though possibly portrayed by a new actor. Dave Sheridan, who played Officer Doofy in the original film, is also involved in confirming Ghostface’s return.
The Wayans Brothers left the franchise after the first two films, but they are now returning to revitalize the series, blending their comedic style with the classic parody elements that defined the first movies. The new film is part of a reboot of the franchise with a fresh approach but strong ties to the original series.
Marlon Wayans, who served as a producer for the new film, confirmed the news on his Instagram account and shared a photo of the duo from the first film. The Wayans Brothers are reuniting for the first time in 18 years to write a script for the reboot of the series.
Regina Hall, who is 54, and Anna Faris, who is 48, have made a joint statement to Entertainment Weekly about their return, but no new information about their roles in the new film has been released yet.
The first Scary Movie film, released in 2000, grossed $278 million worldwide on a budget of $19 million. The sequel, Scary Movie 2, released in 2001, earned $141 million on a budget of $45 million.
The Scary Movie series originally targeted horror films like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Haunted Mansion and The Exorcist, respectively. With the return of the Wayans Brothers and the original cast, fans can expect a blend of the franchise's classic comedic style and horror parody elements.
