Scary Movie 6: Release Date, Wayans Brothers Return & What to Expect

Finally, some great news for horror-comedy fans: Scary Movie 6 is finally underway, and it's the long-anticipated return of the Wayans brothers to the franchise. The last time Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans were on board with the series was way back in 2001 for Scary Movie 2. Now, over two decades later, the trio is finally set to reclaim their iconic parody saga.

Wayans Brothers Confirm Their Return

Marlon Wayans announced via his Instagram that he, along with brothers Shawn and Keenen Ivory Wayans, would all be co-writing and producing the new installment. Filming is set to start sometime next year, though no word yet on who will helm the film, what the plot will be, or an exact release date. It'd then set the timeline for Scary Movie 6 to release in 2026-a full 25 years since it last had the Wayans brothers attached.

The Weinstein Controversy & Justice for Scary Movie 6

This development is thrilling, coming off the back of recent revelations from Marlon Wayans on the behind-the-scenes struggles of Scary Movie 3. At Club Shay Shay, he accused the former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of stealing their concept for the third film and then firing them from it. Without them, Scary Movie 3, 4, and 5 were made, so this return of the creators is a long time coming for both of them and the fans of the franchise who have followed it religiously.

What Will Scary Movie 6 Parody?

Arguably, the most exciting question with Scary Movie 6 is what movies it will parody. With horror making a comeback in recent years, the Wayans brothers have a whole lot of content to play with. Most likely candidates for parody include Scream (2022, 2023), the upcoming reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025), and other horror films that have taken box offices by storm. Considering horror is more popular now than it has been in decades, Scary Movie 6 could wind up being one of the most relevant and hilarious entries in the franchise.

Scary Movie 6 Release Date & Anticipation

We can only assume 2026 is the likely window because no release date has been announced.
The assurance of the return of the Wayans brothers will keep the same magic that the first two 
Scary Movies had for this installment and keeps the fans begging for more on updates about the film.
Get ready to be spooked with Scary Movie 6 when it hit theatres-this is one horror-comedy you are not going to want to miss!🎬😂👻
