Wayans Brothers Sequel Gets Summer 2026 Release


The Scary Movie franchise has set its return to the big screen.
Marlon Wayans announced via Instagram on Friday that a new film in the series is set to hit theaters from Paramount Pictures on June 12, 2026.
He is returning to the franchise with Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans to pen the script for the new project that was announced last year at CinemaCon. Known for satirizing horror flicks, the Scary Movie franchise launched with the first movie hitting theaters in 2000 and spawned four sequels.
Keenen Ivory Wayans wrote and directed the original Scary Movie and its 2001 follow-up, while Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans wrote and starred in those initial two movies. Paramount is handling global distribution for the forthcoming title through their first-look deal with producer Miramax, which distributed the first three features.
More to come.
