‘Scary Movie 6’ Has Begun Filming in Atlanta, Confirms Regina Hall

The filming for Scary Movie 6 has begun in Atlanta, Georgia, as confirmed by Regina Hall, who is returning as Brenda Meeks.

Speaking to Today, Hall was asked about Scary Movie 6 and when it was coming out. Hall replied, “June. Well, it started filming on October 1st. You know if I do, I’m gonna come back. But you can’t kill Brenda.”

The film is directed by Michael Tiddes, with a screenplay by Rick Alvarez, Keenen Ivory Wayans, and Marlon Wayans, and produced by Rick Alvarez, Neal H. Moritz, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Marlon Wayans, and Shawn Wayans, while Jonathan Glickman and Alexandra Loewy serve as executive producers.

The cast of Scary Movie 6 includes Hall as Brenda, Lochlyn Munro as Greg, Anna Faris as Cindy, Marlon Wayans as Shorty, Dave Sheridan as Doofy, and Shawn Wayans as Ray.

During an interview with PEOPLE, Marlon Wayans teased what fans can expect from Scary Movie 6:

“We got the gloves off. We’re going R. We’re going to have the same fun and the same kind of tone and Wayans flavor that we gave on the first one.”

In a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Marlon Wayans revealed, “We’re excited for this venture. We’re bringing everybody back — me, Anna, Regina, Shawn. The world needs a laugh right now. Perfect time.”

Wayans said, “It feels great. It feels like I missed you — I missed you. It feels like Scary Movie is kind of like, you know, Scary Movie 1 and 2. I don’t think people understood when we did Scary Movie 1. Me and my brothers, we rarely smell the roses. We rarely receive our flowers, and we don’t give them to ourselves. It’s not us to say, ‘Look at what we’ve done.’ It’s always in hindsight — man, we did that. When we did Scary Movie 1, it opened with $42.3 million in a weekend, and I remember sitting at Cape Manolete’s with me, Shawn, and Keenen, and we cried because we made history. It was the first time we really acknowledged it — that was the highest-grossing film written and produced by a team of African-Americans, directed not just by an African-American director, but for a comedy director. And now, we’re excited for this venture. We’re bringing everybody back — me, Anna, Regina, Shawn.”

Wayans added, “The world needs a laugh right now. Perfect time. I feel like the world… when was the last time we had a great comedy in theaters that everybody sat down to watch together? Because when we did Scary Movie 1, kids were in the aisles. You could hear the laughter outside the theater. It was huge. So I just want to make the world laugh again — and this is a great opportunity to do it.”

Scary Movie 6 will hit theaters on June 12, 2026, by Paramount Pictures.
