The long-awaited reboot of the iconic horror parody franchise, 'Scary Movie,' is finally getting a release date. Marlon Wayans has announced that the film is slated to hit theaters on June 12, 2026.
The Scary Movie franchise is set to rise from the grave with a new reboot, and a release date has been confirmed. The comedy series, which began with the 2000 film that spoofed a range of popular horror movies like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Halloween, and The Shining, will return to theaters. Wayans Brothers confirmed the reboot in 2024, and while production hasn't yet begun, Marlon Wayans took to Instagram to announce the release date : June 12, 2026.
This marks a thirteen-year gap between the release of Scary Movie 5 in 2013 and the new reboot. The news of the release date is a positive development for the film, suggesting that production will likely begin sometime this year to ensure pre-production is complete and meet the release deadline. This could mean casting announcements are on the horizon soon. While many original cast members are eager to return, only one character is officially confirmed: Ghostface, played by Dave Sheridan. Sheridan hinted that the movie will follow a similar structure to the 2022 Scream legacy film. This opens the possibility for the return of beloved characters like Anna Faris and Regina Hall, who haven't appeared since Scary Movie 4. However, it also suggests the inclusion of a new generation of actors. The Scary Movie franchise, despite some uneven installments, has maintained a devoted cult following over the years, thanks in part to social media, where fans share their favorite moments. The reboot is generating anticipation as audiences look forward to seeing the Wayans Brothers inject their humor into the evolving landscape of horror and Hollywood.
