Paramount dropped the final official trailer for Scary Movie 6 on June 1, 2026, setting up the spoof franchise's return to theaters four days later. The film opens nationwide on June 5, and the trailer makes clear that Marlon Wayans is back in the Core Four alongside Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris and Regina Hall.
That is the hook for fans who have waited since the last Scary Movie sequel arrived in 2013. The new film is being positioned as both a legacy sequel and a spoof comedy sequel, with Michael Tiddes directing from a screenplay by Rick Alvarez, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans. The ensemble also includes Jon Abrahams, Lochlyn Munro, Dave Sheridan, Cheri Oteri, Anthony Anderson, Chris Elliott and Damon Wayans Jr.
The trailer leans into the series' old habit of slashing through horror clichés, but it also nods at recent Scream 7, a reminder that this installment is not aiming at one target alone. Scary Movie has always worked by piling on familiar slasher beats, and this one is described the same way, as a return to mocking multiple horror tropes and franchises at once. That leaves the exact shape of the jokes still mostly under wraps, even as the marketing makes one thing plain: the family is back in the killer's crosshairs twenty-six years after the first film arrived in 2000.
The timing matters because the trailer is not a distant tease. It is a final push into a June 5 theatrical debut, and it answers the biggest question around the rebooted sequel: yes, the Core Four are returning, and yes, the franchise is coming back to the big screen now, not sometime later.
