Miss a scary movie? This news will make fans of the parody saga happy

The last time the Wayan brothers starred in a horror film was 23 years ago, in 2001, for the release of the second installment. The creators were then fired by producer Harvey Weinstein, determined to continue the franchise without them. Good news: a sixth film is in the works with the return of the infernal trio.

Marlon Wayans himself confirmed the information on his official Instagram page. The new song will be written and produced by Marlon, Shawn and Kien Ivory Wayans. The name of the director, the release date and the plot are still unknown, but the shooting of the film will begin next year. So logic dictates that Scary Movie 6 hits theaters in 2026, 25 years after the Wayan brothers left.

We are back! 20 years later, the Wayan brothers are finally giving fans what they’ve been waiting for… the return of the horror franchise. We can’t wait to see the fun on the big screen.

The big mystery remains: Will Anna Faris and Regina Hall, of Cindy and Brenda fame, from the first four movies, be there too? It’s too early to tell, though the two actors have indicated they’d be open if the right opportunity presented itself.

Weinstein fired after the horror movie 2

The news comes a month after Marlon Wayans revealed the difficult behind-the-scenes look at Scary Movie 3. Club Shay Shay PodcastShe explained that Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein – accused by more than a hundred women of sexual assault in 2017 – simply stole their idea for the third installment before firing him.

Horror movies 3, 4 and 5 finally saw the light of day without the Wayan brothers. The announcement of a sixth film with the original team marks a fair return to things for its creators at the head of one of the most profitable sagas of the 2000s.

It remains to be seen which movies will be parodied for Scary Movie 6. The trio is spoiled for choice with Scream and Souviens-toi last summer – expected in July 2025 – but also many original films that have been a sensation in recent years. The arrival of this new opus comes at a time when horror has never been more popular.

Scary Movie 6 is coming to theaters soon.
