Scary Movie 6 (Scary Movie 6) is a 2026 American comedy horror film directed by Michael Tiddes from a screenplay by Marlon Wayans, Sean Wayans, Keenan Ivory Wayans, and Rick Alvarez. The film is set to be released in the United States on June 12, 2026.
Scary Movie 6 is the long-awaited sixth installment of the cult horror-comedy "„Scary movie“" — a franchise that became a symbol of horror parody in the 2000s. After more than a decade of absence, the series returns with the original creative team and a number of fan-favorite characters to highlight new targets for its satirical attacks.
The plot of Scary Movie 6 has not been officially revealed, but statements from the producers and those involved in the film make it clear that the story will maintain the spirit of the parody format of the series, this time focusing on contemporary horror and cultural phenomena. Satirical elements are expected, which will "stalk" popular titles from the modern horror renaissance - including films with legacy sequels, as well as new trends in the genre. Among the talked "targets" for parody are titles such as Get Out, Nope and Heretic, as well as other famous productions from recent years.
The plot will likely follow mockery of classic and contemporary clichés, which is where much of the comedic effect in the series comes from, relying not only on sketches but also on plot twists inherent in the original films being parodied.
The film is directed by Michael Tiddis, who has previously worked in the comedy-horror genre. The series' original collaborators, Bryton Wayans and Rick Alvarez, return to write, produce, and develop the film, meaning that Scary Movie 6 will seek to restore that sharp, provocative and unapologetic humor that made the first films so memorable.
The style remains true to its parody roots: a combination of absurd situations, drastic visual comedy tricks, pop culture references, and outright satire of genre clichés.
Scary Movie 6 will bring together on screen numerous faces from the original films, contributing to the atmosphere of nostalgia and comedy:
Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell, a key character from the early parts whose comedic talent became a symbol of the series.
Regina Hall like Brenda Meeks—irresistible with her inherent parody style.
Dave Sheridan returns as Doofy Gilmer, a curious and often inept police officer.
Marlon Wayans — who not only participated in the production but also helped write the script, will likely appear on screen again.
Locklin Munro (Greg), Shawn Wayans, Damon Wayans Jr. and Olivia Rose Keegan are among other faces we may see in supporting roles or in new parody segments.
Scary Movie 6 is preparing a return of one of the most famous parody sequences in cinema, combining nostalgia, sharp humor and contemporary pop culture references. Featuring the original characters and creative intervention of the authors of the first films, this part promises to be both a tribute to the classic style and a fresh sequel that will make a new generation of viewers laugh.
