Nearly two decades after The House Bunny turned Shelley Darlingson into one of comedy's most lovable heroines, the possibility of a sequel may finally be hopping back into the spotlight. Anna Faris, who headlined the 2008 cult comedy, recently revealed that there is growing interest in revisiting the fan-favourite story. And while nothing has been officially confirmed just yet, her latest comments have already reignited hopes of seeing the beloved Zeta sisters reunite on screen.

So could Shelley Darlingson finally make her long-awaited return, and what exactly did Faris reveal about a potential House Bunny sequel?

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Anna Faris admitted she would love to revisit The House Bunny and revealed that discussions surrounding a follow-up may not be as far-fetched as fans once believed. The actress explained that she never imagined a sequel would ever become a realistic possibility, making the renewed interest all the more surprising. While she stopped short of confirming any concrete plans, her comments strongly suggested that conversations about bringing Shelley Darlingson back are finally gaining momentum.

“And it turns out, there’s interest. I never thought that dream would ever be realized either, and it’s too soon to say anything, but it turns out that movie is beloved, and that character too.” Faris told Entertainment Tonight.

Released in 2008, The House Bunny followed Shelley Darlingson, a former Playboy Bunny who finds herself unexpectedly becoming the house mother of a struggling sorority. Despite receiving mixed reviews upon release, the film steadily grew into a cult favourite thanks to its heart, humor, and memorable performances from a young ensemble cast that included Emma Stone, Kat Dennings, Katharine McPhee, Rumer Willis, and Anna Faris herself. Nearly 20 years later, the film continues to enjoy a devoted fanbase, making a sequel one of the most requested comedy revivals among audiences.

While Shelley Darlingson may still be waiting for the keys to the Zeta house, Cindy Campbell has officially dusted off her survival instincts and stepped straight back into parody chaos.

More than two decades after first stumbling her way through horror chaos, Anna Faris is officially returning as Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie 6, which arrives in theatres on June 5. Since her breakout debut in the 2000 original, Cindy has become one of parody cinema's most beloved final girls, fearlessly spoofing horror giants like Scream, The Ring, Signs, and The Grudge while surviving increasingly ridiculous disasters alongside Regina Hall's Brenda Meeks. That is precisely why Faris' absence from Scary Movie 5 left many fans wondering whether the franchise had lost its most iconic ingredient.

Alongside returning favourites Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Jon Abrahams, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Anthony Anderson, Carmen Electra, and several other familiar faces, the film introduces newcomers including Damon Wayans Jr., Kim Wayans, Heidi Gardner, Sydney Park, Olivia Rose Keegan, Kai Cenat, and Kenan Thompson. And Faris isn't slowing down after her horror-comedy comeback either, with the actress also set to headline SPA Weekend alongside Isla Fisher and Leslie Mann when the comedy feature arrives in August 2026.

Thus, with Cindy Campbell already making her long-awaited return and renewed interest surrounding The House Bunny, Anna Faris seems to be stepping back into some of the most beloved chapters of her career.
