The sixth entry into the horror comedy franchise sees the Wayans Brothers returning to write and direct.
Since news of an upcoming Scary Movie reboot dropped earlier this year, the one key question has been if series stars Regina Hall and Anna Faris will return for another round of lovingly poking fun at our favorite horror movies. Thankfully, the answer to that question is officially a resounding yes.
Per Deadline, who reported the news exclusively earlier today, Hall and Faris will return for the Wayan Brothers-helmed reboot as their characters Brenda Meeks and Cindy Campbell respectively, sharing a joint statement:
“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 sixth entry into the Scary Movie series, set for release on June 12, 2026 via Paramount and Miramax, marks the first time the Wayans have written an original script in 18 years. Rick Alvarez (White Chicks) is also writing and producing.
Plot details for Scary Movie 6 are still under wraps, although Dave Sheridan (Scary Movie‘s Officer Doofy) has confirmed that Ghostface will make a triumphant return to the horror parody, perhaps spoofing the Scream requels.
Now Faris and Hall are confirmed to return, we can start speculating about what other modern horror movies will be on the chopping block. Our money's on Pearl.
