Scary Movie 6 Is Bringing Back Anna Faris and Regina Hall After 20 Years — And the Wayans Brothers Are Teasing a White Chicks Sequel

Scary Movie 6: The Parody Franchise Everyone Forgot They Needed Is Finally Back

If you grew up in the 2000s quoting "I'm gon' give you to the count of three" or mimicking Brenda Meeks' wild dance moves, this one's for you. Scary Movie 6 is hitting theaters on June 5, 2026, and for the first time in two decades, the full original gang is back — Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell, Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks, and the Wayans Brothers (Marlon and Shawn) behind and in front of the camera.

A 20-Year Homecoming That Nobody Saw Coming

Let's be honest: after Scary Movie 5 dropped in 2013 without Faris or Hall, most of us wrote the franchise off. It was the first entry without the beloved duo, and it showed. The series had lost its soul. But something changed. According to Marlon Wayans, returning to the franchise was deeply personal — he called it "a mission to honor my dad," Howell Wayans, who passed away in 2023. The family had walked away from the original series over a bitter dispute with Bob and Harvey Weinstein back in the day, but the death of their father brought everything full circle.

Anna Faris and Regina Hall have been vocal about their excitement too. In an exclusive interview, both actresses promised the new film will "offend everyone" — which, honestly, is exactly what we want from a Scary Movie. Regina Hall even teased that she's been filming scenes covered in fake blood on her lunch breaks. That's the energy we need.

Box Office Forecast: Could This Be the Biggest Scary Movie Ever?

Here's where things get interesting. Early box office tracking for Scary Movie 6 has been revised upward significantly, with some analysts predicting it could challenge or even surpass Scary Movie 3's $49 million opening weekend record. That would make it the biggest debut in franchise history. For context, the Scary Movie series has grossed over $860 million worldwide across five films — so the brand still carries serious weight, especially with millennials who have serious nostalgia for the original trilogy.

The film is expected to spoof recent horror blockbusters like Smile, Talk to Me, Longlegs, and potentially even elements of the Conjuring universe. With the current horror boom and a wave of elevated scary movies hitting theaters, there's no shortage of material to parody.

The White Chicks Sequel That Might Actually Happen

But here's the real headline: Marlon and Shawn Wayans have openly stated that a White Chicks 2 "can happen" if Scary Movie 6 performs well at the box office. Their exact words? "We're game." This isn't just idle speculation — the brothers have been actively discussing it in interviews, and considering White Chicks (2004) has become a massive cult classic with an entirely new generation of fans discovering it on TikTok and streaming, the demand is undeniably there.

The original White Chicks grossed $113 million worldwide and has since become one of the most quoted comedies of the 2000s. If Scary Movie 6 succeeds, we could be looking at a summer 2027 or 2028 release for White Chicks 2 — and honestly, the internet would lose its mind.

Bottom Line

Scary Movie 6 isn't just another reboot cash-grab. It's a genuine homecoming for a franchise that defined millennial comedy, with the right people back in place and a clear passion for making something worth watching. Whether it lives up to the original trilogy or not, one thing's for sure: June 5, 2026, is going to feel like a time machine back to when going to the movies meant laughing until your sides hurt.

And if the Wayans Brothers deliver on that White Chicks 2 tease? Well, 2026 might just be the best year for comedy in a generation.
