Returning Stars: Regina Hall and Anna Faris for 'Scary Movie' Series Revival
In an exciting turn of events, the horror comedy franchise Scary Movie is making a comeback after a decade-long hiatus. According to reports by Deadline, the sixth instalment of the series is set to release on June 12, 2026. Filming is scheduled to begin in October 2025[1][2][3][4][5].
The main stars confirmed for Scary Movie 6 include Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, and Dave Sheridan. Anna Faris and Regina Hall are set to reprise their iconic roles as Cindy and Brenda, respectively. The Wayans brothers—Marlon and Shawn—are involved both in front of and behind the camera, co-writing the script and likely starring again[1][3][4][5]. Dave Sheridan, known for playing Officer Doofy in the original, is also confirmed to return, with the character Ghostface coming back, though possibly played by a different actor than before[1][3][4][5].
This film serves as a reboot for the franchise, with Michael Tiddes directing, and it aims to bring back much of the original cast and creative team that contributed to the success of the first two films[1][5]. Michael Tiddes, a frequent Wayans collaborator, is the director for Scary Movie 6.
Regina Hall and Anna Faris, who played besties Brenda and Cindy in the series, will be back to star in Scary Movie 6. In a statement, they expressed their excitement to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with the Wayans brothers[1]. Hall and Faris also mentioned that they would literally die for Keenen, Shawn, and Marlon Wayans (in Brenda's case, again).
The film is expected to skewer recent trends in the horror genre, as well as parody popular franchises such as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Final Destination[1].
While no specific details about the next Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, or Doctor Who releases have been provided in this paragraph, it's clear that Scary Movie 6 is set to make a significant impact in the world of film when it hits theatres in 2026.
