The cinematic landscape is about to witness the return of a parody powerhouse that once defined an entire generation of humor. The legacy of the Scary Movie series began as a bold deconstruction of the horror genre that dominated the early 2000s. It transformed genuine cinematic terror into a playground for slapstick comedy and sharp social commentary. As Marlon Wayans prepares for a new installment, fans are eager to see if the original creators can recapture that lightning in a bottle.

The announcement of a sixth film marks a pivotal moment for a franchise that has been dormant for over a decade. When and where can viewers find the first trailer?

The brothers who started the phenomenon are finally bringing their unique vision back to theatres.

Marlon Wayans has confirmed in the Rap Attack Official podcast that the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Scary Movie 6 will debut exclusively in cinemas on 27 February 2026. This highly anticipated preview is scheduled to premiere specifically ahead of screenings for Scream 7. After the theatrical debut, the footage is expected to be available for online viewing later that same day.

“We dropped the trailer on February 27th in front of Scream. So when you see Scream (Scream 7), you're going to see Scary Movie (Scary Movie 6) trailer”, Marlon Wayans spoke in the Rap Attack Official podcast.

The project is significant because it marks the first time in eighteen years that Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans have reunited. They are working together to write and produce this installment, ensuring the DNA of the original hits remains intact. The film is currently slated for a full theatrical release on 12 June 2026.

Audience members can also look forward to the return of iconic stars such as Anna Faris and Regina Hall, as Marlon Wayans already announced the trailer release date in the Rap Attack Official podcast. These veterans will join other familiar faces like Anthony Anderson to recreate the chemistry that made the early films successful.

The creative team is focusing on a specific philosophy to ensure the humor feels timeless.

Marlon Wayans believes that true comedic success comes from placing funny individuals in the most absurdly dire situations. He argues that this approach creates an organic sense of humor that does not feel forced or repetitive. According to his vision, the goal is to create a cohesive movie, similar to Scary Movie and upcoming Scream, rather than just a collection of random jokes, as he mentioned on the Rap Attack Official podcast.

“I do a movie that is a comedy that takes funny people, and you put them in the worst situation, and they find comedy. And that is what you call classic comedy”, Marlon Wayans spoke in the Rap Attack Official podcast.

The production team is committed to ensuring that every joke fits naturally within the progression of the story. Marlon Wayan has instructed his writing partners to avoid including material that does not align with the narrative structure. This disciplined approach is intended to separate their work from common parodies that rely solely on imitation.
