Scary Movie 6: Release date, cast and trailer for the parody film

Fans have been absolutely restless to get their hands on the sixth instalment in the Scary Movie franchise.

Since the franchise began in 2000 it has garnered a true cult following, fans that are absolutely obsessed with the films and were ecstatic to hear the news that they would finally be getting a sixth one after a 13 year hiatus.

Scary Movie 5 came out in 2013 but, in a move that is still questioned to this day, the writers and producers decided to move away from the original cast and characters, much to the disappointment of fans.

But now Scary Movie 6 will be reuniting both original cast members and Scary Movie alumni alike for a new film that feels 26 years in the making.

So, when can fans expect to see it? And what films will Scary Movie 6 parody? Read on for everything you need to know.

Scary Movie 6 release date

Scary Movie 6 is set to be released in UK cinemas on Friday 5 June 2026.

It was originally scheduled for 12 June but was brought forward, seemingly to avoid competition with Universal’s Disclosure Day from director Steven Spielberg.

"We are currently in the edit for Scary Movie," actor Marlon Wayans, who plays Shorty Meeks, said in a video posted on his Instagram account.

"The bad news is, we’re no longer going to be releasing on June 12. The good news is, due to the overwhelming response and the worldwide excitement, we are releasing a week earlier.

"That’s right: June 5th is the new date for Scary Movie! We’re starting off the summer with a bang and a laugh fest. So I’m really excited about coming early."

Which films will Scary Movie 6 parody?

Based on reports and hints from the trailer there is a long list of movies, thrillers and viral moments that Scary Movie 6 will parody. After all, it has been 13 long years of horror since the last film, so it has a backlog of content to get through.

Scary Movie 6 will parody M3GAN, with the trailer featuring a mashup of Ghostface dressed as the AI doll. The Sunken Place from Get Out will be reimagined with Shorty, whilst Chris Elliott will reportedly play a parody of Nicolas Cage's villain from Longlegs.

Also included in the parody line up is Smile, Terrifier 3, The Substance, Weapons and A Quiet Place, amongst others. Sinners has also been chosen thanks to its Oscars success.
