Scary Movie 6: The Wayans Brothers Return, Bold Humor, and Movies to Parody

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Horror-comedy fans worldwide should be excited for "Scary Movie 6," scheduled for release in the United States on June 12, 2026.

The sixth installment in this iconic franchise marks a highly anticipated return to the signature parody formula.

The film will be a direct sequel to 2006's "Scary Movie 4."

This ambitious project is fully funded by Miramax, which announced its development at CinemaCon in April 2024.

Paramount Pictures will handle distribution for "Scary Movie 6" through its first-look deal with Miramax.

Most excitingly, "Scary Movie 6" will reunite the Wayans brothers—Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Keenen Ivory Wayans—as screenwriters and producers after a 17-year hiatus.

Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Keenen Ivory Wayans as screenwriters and producers is the main highlight of "Scary Movie 6," known as the masterminds behind the success of "Scary Movie" (2000) and "Scary Movie 2" (2001).

The director's position is entrusted to Michael Tiddes, whose track record includes horror comedies like "A Haunted House" and "Fifty Shades of Black."

Filming began on October 1, 2025, and was successfully completed on November 24, 2025.

The primary filming location was Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, indicating the significant scale of the production.

Miramax has taken over full control of the film's production, marking a significant change.

In keeping with franchise tradition, "Scary Movie 6" will target a variety of modern horror films for hilarious parodies.

Jordan Peele's Get Out (2017) and Nope (2022), as well as Longlegs (2024) and Heretic (2024), are certain to be the butt of jokes in "Scary Movie 6."

Furthermore, unreleased or recently released films such as Weapons (Zach Cregger's film) and Sinners (Ryan Coogler's Oscar-nominated film) will also be part of the parody.

Marlon Wayans has also hinted at a possible parody of the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise.

Marlon Wayans has assured that "Scary Movie 6" will be "no-holds-barred and equally offensive."

This statement indicates that the film will maintain the bold and unafraid-to-offense style of humor that has been a hallmark of the scary movie franchise since its inception.

Anticipation for the film is heightened with news that the first trailer for "Scary Movie 6" is expected to be released before "Scream 7."

One of the biggest draws of "Scary Movie 6" is the return of several original actors who have become synonymous with their characters.

Anna Faris will reprise her role as Cindy Campbell, the iconic character who is always at the center of the parody chaos.

Marlon Wayans will return as Shorty Meeks and Shawn Wayans as Ray Wilkins, while Jon Abrahams (Bobby Prinze) and Lochlyn Munro (Greg Phillippe) are also confirmed to return.

The returning cast members are further enhanced by the return of Dave Sheridan as Doofy Gilmore, Anthony Anderson, Cheri Oteri, and Chris Elliott.

In addition to familiar faces, "Scary Movie 6" will also introduce a host of new cast members include Damon Wayans Jr., Kim Wayans, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Felissa Rose, Savannah Lee Nassif, Cameron Scott Roberts, Sydney Park, Gregg Wayans, Ruby Snowber, and Benny Zielke.
