BREAKING NEWS: Regina Hall and Anna Faris are officially returning for the highly anticipated Scary Movie 6, set to hit theaters on June 12, 2026. This exciting development has just been confirmed, reuniting the beloved duo who portrayed iconic characters Brenda and Cindy throughout the earlier films.
The announcement comes as part of a broader revival trend in the horror genre, with franchises like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer also making comebacks. Fans have eagerly awaited this news, especially since Hall and Faris appeared in every Scary Movie installment except for the fifth one, released in 2016.
Adding to the excitement, the Wayans brothers—Keenan, Shawn, and Marlon—are returning to the franchise after stepping away following Scary Movie 2 in 2001. They will collaborate with Rick Alvarez on the script, while Michael Tiddes is set to direct. This reunion promises to bring a fresh and humorous perspective to the evolving horror landscape.
In a joint statement, Hall and Faris expressed their enthusiasm:
“We can’t wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn, and Marlon—three men we’d literally die for (in Brenda’s case, again).”
The new film is expected to hilariously tackle the “elevated horror” trend and other recent cinematic phenomena, ensuring that nothing is off-limits. With horror evolving rapidly, audiences can anticipate sharp satire that targets contemporary filmmakers like Jordan Peele and Oz Perkins.
As fans prepare for this return to the franchise, the buzz surrounding the film is palpable. The combination of Hall, Faris, and the Wayans brothers is sure to reignite nostalgia while appealing to a new generation of horror enthusiasts. This reboot not only promises laughs but also aims to provide a critical lens on the current state of horror films.
Mark your calendars! Scary Movie 6 is just around the corner, and the anticipation is building. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops!
