Comedy fans are in for a nostalgic treat as Anna Faris and Regina Hall are officially set to return for Scary Movie 6.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The duo, who last appeared together in the fourth installment back in 2006, will reprise their fan-favorite roles as Cindy and Brenda. The news was confirmed on Friday, August 15, when Marlon Wayans shared a throwback photo of the actresses from the original 2000 film with the caption, \u201cThey\u2019re back.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a joint statement, Faris, 48, and Hall, 54, expressed their excitement about stepping back into the franchise that made them household names. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to bring Brenda and Cindy back to life and be reunited with our great friends Keenen, Shawn and Marlon \u2014 three men we\u2019d literally die for (in Brenda\u2019s case, again),\u201d the actresses joked.<\/p>\n
The upcoming sequel will be directed by Michael Tiddes, best known for helming comedies like A Haunted House. Adding to the excitement, Keenen Ivory Wayans, who wrote and directed the first two Scary Movie films, is back as producer, while brothers Marlon and Shawn Wayans return as writers and cast members.<\/p>\n
The Wayans brothers had previously teased their comeback in October 2024, confirming that after nearly two decades away, they were finally reviving the franchise that became a cultural phenomenon. \u201cWE\u2019RE BACK!!! After nearly 20 years, the Wayans brothers are finally going to give the fans what they\u2019ve been asking for … a return to the SCARY MOVIE franchise!\u201d Marlon wrote at the time.<\/p>\n
For Faris, the decision to return hinged on her bond with Hall. Speaking to PEOPLE in July 2024, the House Bunny star admitted, \u201cI would love to work with Regina again. I just love her so much. We would make each other giggle all day long. Regina Hall would be my answer. And money. But mostly all Regina!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Scary Movie series, which debuted in 2000, became one of the most successful parody franchises in Hollywood, poking fun at iconic horror and pop culture moments. Fans still recall Faris\u2019 quirky Cindy and Hall\u2019s over-the-top Brenda as the heart of the series.<\/p>\n
With the original team back together and fresh creative energy from Tiddes and Miramax, Scary Movie 6 is shaping up to be a double reunion for both the cast and the audience. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on June 12, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
