BREAKING: Regina Hall and Anna Faris are officially returning for the highly anticipated Scary Movie 6, set to hit theaters on June 12, 2026. This exciting announcement comes as the beloved horror-comedy series makes a triumphant comeback, joining the ranks of revived franchises like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Fans of the franchise will rejoice as Hall and Faris reprise their iconic roles as Brenda and Cindy, marking a major reunion since their last appearance in Scary Movie 5 in 2016. This new installment also brings back the series’ original creators, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans, who played a pivotal role in shaping the series but stepped away after Scary Movie 2 in 2001.
In a statement shared with Deadline, Hall and Faris expressed their excitement:
“We can’t wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon—three men we’d literally die for (in Brenda’s case, again.)”
The Wayans brothers are co-writing the script alongside Rick Alvarez, while Michael Tiddes, a frequent collaborator of the Wayans, has been tapped as director. Fans can expect the new film to take aim at contemporary horror trends, borrowing from the cultural phenomena that have emerged since the last Scary Movie was released.
As the horror genre evolves, with notable figures like Jordan Peele, Zach Cregger, and Oz Perkins influencing the landscape, Scary Movie 6 is poised to deliver sharp, comedic critiques of the “elevated horror” trend and more.
This news not only revives nostalgia for long-time fans but also highlights the enduring impact of the Scary Movie franchise in pop culture. As expectations build, keep an eye on further updates regarding cast details, plot reveals, and promotional events leading up to the film’s release.
With the countdown to June 12, 2026, officially underway, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Stay tuned for more developments as this beloved series returns to the big screen!
