The Scary Movie 6 trailer is officially here. After 13 years of silence since Scary Movie 5, the first official trailer for the long-awaited sixth installment dropped today, Monday, March 2, 2026 — and the Wayans brothers came back swinging harder than ever. The Scary Movie 6 release date is confirmed as June 12, 2026, exclusively in theaters nationwide.

Scary Movie 6 Trailer Released Today After Leaking Over the Weekend

The Scary Movie 6 trailer hit the internet on Monday, March 2, 2026, after industry insider Daniel RPK revealed the online drop date days ahead of schedule. The footage had already been screening in theaters in front of Scream 7 since February 27, building massive anticipation.

Marlon Wayans himself stirred the internet early by posting what appeared to be a bootleg of his own Scary Movie 6 trailer on social media, a move that perfectly captured the franchise's irreverent, self-aware spirit before the official release.

The trailer placement in front of Scream 7 screenings may be the first time in Hollywood history that a film opened in theaters attached to a trailer for another movie that directly mocks its own franchise.

Scary Movie 6 Release Date, Plot, and Official Title

Set 26 years after the original, the Scary Movie 6 plot finds the Core Four back in a killer's crosshairs as no horror movie IP is declared safe. Marlon Wayans returns as Shorty, Shawn Wayans as Ray, Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell, and Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks — reuniting for the first time in over two decades.

While widely referred to as Scary Movie 6, the official title revealed with today's trailer drop is simply Scary Movie — the first time the franchise has dropped the numbering since the original 2000 film.

The film is releasing June 12, 2026, via Paramount Pictures worldwide as part of its first-look deal with Miramax, which is fully financing the project.

Every Horror Movie Being Spoofed in Scary Movie 6

The Scary Movie 6 trailer reveals the film will satirize Ryan Coogler's Sinners and Coralie Fargeat's The Substance among its primary targets.

The trailer also teases spoofs of Get Out, the Terrifier films, Megan, Wednesday, and the Scream franchise — the very series that inspired the original Scary Movie back in 2000.

A sequence parodying Terrifier 3 — specifically the infamous mall Santa scene in which Art the Clown attacks children — was initially cut from the film but later reinstated in a truncated version after fan outcry during test screenings.

Scary Movie 6 Full Cast: Original Stars and New Faces

Nine original cast members return for Scary Movie 6 alongside ten newcomers. Returning veterans include Marlon and Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Jon Abrahams as Bobby Prinze, Lochlyn Munro as Greg Phillippe, Dave Sheridan as Doofy Gilmore, Cheri Oteri, and Chris Elliott.

Newcomers joining the Scary Movie 6 cast include Damon Wayans Jr., Kim Wayans, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Savannah Lee Nassif, Cameron Scott Roberts, Sydney Park, Gregg Wayans, Ruby Snowber, and Benny Zielke. Anthony Anderson confirmed his return in February 2026.

Wayans Brothers Back as Writers, Michael Tiddes Directs

Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Keenen Ivory Wayans — the architects of the original franchise — returned to write the Scary Movie 6 script alongside longtime collaborator Rick Alvarez, who is also producing. Michael Tiddes is directing.

The reunion marks the first time the three Wayans brothers have collaborated on a screenplay in 17 years, since co-writing the first two Scary Movie films together in 2000 and 2001 respectively.

With the Scary Movie 6 trailer already generating millions of views on its first day online, the franchise's return has all the makings of one of the biggest comedy openings of 2026.
