Prepare yourself for a delightful dose of humor as a fresh edition of the <em>Scary Movie </em> franchise is on the horizon, thanks to Paramount Pictures. This upcoming installment marks a significant return to the beloved parody series, as it will be the first new entry in over ten years. In the meantime, fans can enjoy the original classics, Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2, which are currently gaining popularity on streaming platforms. This allows eager viewers to revisit the films and experience their iconic laughter until the new release arrives in 2026.

At the time of writing, both films are enjoying impressive rankings on Paramount+: Scary Movie 2 stands as the fourth most popular movie on the platform, while the original Scary Movie follows closely at fifth place. While there are other notable horror films making waves (such as the thrilling Smile), the Scary Movie films offer a unique and hilarious take on the horror genre that continues to resonate with audiences, demonstrating their enduring appeal in the streaming landscape.

The Scary Movie series has garnered fame for its clever and entertaining spoofing of the horror genre. The original installment provided a broad parody of the most popular horror films of its time, particularly targeting hits like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Its success paved the way for the sequel, Scary Movie 2, which debuted in 2001 and focused on parodying iconic films such as The Exorcist and The Poltergeist. Following that, Scary Movie 3 was released in 2003, primarily mocking The Ring, while Scary Movie 4, which came out in 2006, parodied both The Grudge and War of the Worlds. The franchise continued with Scary Movie 5, which humorously referenced the Planet of the Apes series and Paranormal Activity.

Get Excited: A New ‘Scary Movie’ is Coming Soon!

Paramount Pictures is ensuring the future of the Scary Movie franchise is in capable hands by partnering with Miramax Films, the studio responsible for producing the first four films in this beloved series. While specific details about the new film remain under wraps, it is expected to take a humorous jab at contemporary horror classics, with notable films from the 2020s likely to be included in its comedic repertoire. Fans can anticipate a fresh and entertaining experience that revitalizes the spirit of the original parodies.

Marlon Wayans, who was instrumental in creating the original films alongside his brothers, has confirmed that his family will reunite to work on the sixth installment, marking their much-anticipated return to the cinematic landscape together. Additionally, renowned producer Neal H. Moritz will be at the helm of production for this exciting new chapter. Moritz is a heavyweight in Hollywood, known for his work on blockbuster franchises like Fast and Furious and the Sonic the Hedgehog films. Importantly, Moritz also has a background in horror, having produced the cult classic I Know What You Did Last Summer.

The eagerly awaited Scary Movie reboot is slated for release on June 12, 2026. Meanwhile, fans can enjoy the previous films in the franchise, which are currently available for streaming, allowing them to relive the laughter and scares that made the series a cultural phenomenon.
