“Scary Movie 6” will be directed by Michael Tiddes, who is known for “Ghost Movie”. The film is scheduled to hit theaters in June 2026 and promises to continue the tradition of parodies of well-known horror films. The original "Scary Movie" series debuted in 2000 with a mix of slapstick humor and clever references to classics like "Scream" and "Halloween." The plot typically followed teenagers who had to fight a supernatural threat.

Interestingly, the Wayans brothers are also responsible for the first two sequels, while parts 3 and 4 were directed by David Zucker, and Faris and Hall did not appear in part 5 (2013) or the entire trilogy. The expectations of the return are now even greater!
