The Wayans Brothers’ new Scary Movie is getting an official release date, Deadline reports.

This announcement couldn’t have come at a better time for the franchise’s fans. It would be the first time in nearly two decades that the Wayans brothers drafted a new script for the iconic franchise. On June 12, 2026, the highly-anticipated project will hit theaters. The brothers also teamed up with Paramount and Miramax again despite past issues, per Deadline.

The Wayans initially stepped away from the franchise after Harvey Weinstein and his brother, Bob (the founders of Miramax) declined their contract terms for the third film. Released in 2000, Scary Movie starred and was co-written by brothers Marlon and Shawn, with elder brother Keenon in the director’s chair. Scary Movie grossed $42.5 million, making it the biggest opening for a Black director and the highest-grossing R-rated horror film ever.
