Scary Movie franchise veterans Anna Faris and Regina Hall will reprise their roles in the upcoming sixth film installment
In the world of slasher comedies, the "Scary Movie" franchise is a beloved staple. The upcoming sixth installment, set to be released on June 12, 2026, promises to bring back some familiar faces and inject new life into the series.
The original "Scary Movie," released in 2000, was helmed by Keenen Wayans and featured Shawn and Marlon Wayans in both writing and acting roles. The film, which parodied successful horror films like "Scream," "Halloween," and "A Nightmare on Elm Street," centred on teenagers defending themselves against a killer. Shawn and Marlon's characters, along with their comedic brilliance, were instrumental in the film's success.
However, the third and fourth installments of "Scary Movie," directed by David Zucker in 2003 and 2006, did not feature the Wayans brothers. Instead, these films starred Anna Faris and Regina Hall as Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks, respectively, along with other cast members.
Now, in Scary Movie 6, Anna Faris and Regina Hall are reprising their iconic roles, with Marlon and Shawn Wayans returning as well. Marlon will be playing Shorty, a character that forms part of the Wayans brothers' comedic presence in the franchise, while Shawn will be back as Ray, Marlon's brother and collaborator. Dave Sheridan, who played Officer Duffy in earlier films, is also set to return.
The film is directed by Michael Tiddes and aims to reboot the franchise, offering a reunion of the original stars and commentary on current horror movie trends. This cast mix revives core characters from the first four movies and reintroduces familiar comedic elements that defined the original "Scary Movie" series, all while promising a new slasher comedy twist.
