"Three ain't enough," Marlon Wayans replied, before jokingly adding, "Yeah, forget the other three. Forget Doofy, he dead. Forget Greg, he died too. We need Wayans, Wayans, Wayans. I don't know which one! Just pick one. Wayans, Wayans, Wayans."

Anna Faris is confirmed to return as Cindy and Regina Hall is confirmed to return as Brenda in Scream 6. The Wayans brothers, Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory, are set to write and produce this installment. This marks their first full collaboration on a Scary Movie script in many years.

On September 9, 2025, Wayans told ComicBook.com that he was ready to make fun of modern horror films. He explained that the sixth film will draw on both older and recent titles. Among the series he mentioned were I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream, which have received legacy sequels in recent years.

He also included more recent films such as Heretic, Longlegs, Get Out, Nope, and Sinners. He said there were many strong horror titles to work with and that the team planned to have a field day drawing from them.

It is not yet confirmed which Wayans brother, barring Marlon, will appear in the movie. Greg's involvement is not finalized. Doofy's character status remains uncertain, as Wayans made remarks implying death for Doofy but without clear confirmation. There is no full cast list beyond Faris, Hall, and the possible Wayans family member(s).


Marlon Wayans is laying the groundwork for Scary Movie 6 with a mix of returning stars and possible legacy characters. The film is expected to hit cinemas on June 12, 2026.
