“We are thrilled to reunite Scary Movie with the Wayans brothers, the brilliant creators behind the beloved franchise,” Miramax CEO Jonathan Glickman shared in a statement. “The timing is perfect to bring the series back, and we’re lucky to have Keenen, Marlon, and Shawn’s unique comedic vision leading the project.”

The original Scary Movie debuted in July 2000, with Keenen Ivory Wayans directing the first two installments while Marlon and Shawn starred and contributed to the writing. Known for spoofing iconic horror films like Scream, The Sixth Sense, and The Blair Witch Project, the franchise amassed a dedicated fan base and continues to influence parody film culture.

As Scary Movie 6 enters production, plot details, casting news, and a director have yet to be announced, leaving fans eager to see if original stars like Anna Faris or Regina Hall will return. Marlon Wayans shared the news on social media, expressing excitement: “WE’RE BACK!!! After nearly 20 years, we’re finally giving fans what they’ve asked for — a return to the Scary Movie franchise.”
