Scary Movie 6 reunites Hall and Faris with Wayans for 2026 release

The Scary Movie franchise is returning with Scary Movie 6, reuniting its core survivors for a new entry that promises to skew contemporary horror as it did two decades ago.

Paramount Pictures is set to release the film on June 12, 2026, with production targeted for an October shoot. The project marks the first collaboration among the Wayans brothers in 18 years and represents a deliberate restart of the satirical series.
