“Scary Movie” Brings the Wayans, Regina Hall, and Anna Faris to Paramount+ Today

The cast of “Scary Movie” gathers among red movie-theater seats.

September 3, 2026 — The long weekend’s at-home comedy options get a familiar reunion today. “Scary Movie” begins streaming on Paramount+, bringing Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Regina Hall, and Anna Faris back together in the franchise’s sixth installment. For viewers who missed the theatrical run, Thursday marks a new chance to catch the group from the couch.

Paramount’s release announcement confirms the return of Shorty, Ray Wilkins, Brenda Meeks, and Cindy Campbell. The new film arrives 26 years after the original and more than 13 years after “Scary Movie 5.” Michael Tiddes directs, with Marlon, Shawn, Keenen Ivory, and Craig Wayans among the credited writers, alongside Rick Alvarez.

The official theatrical trailer makes the approach clear: the familiar quartet is surrounded by a fresh stack of horror references, and the targets extend beyond any single masked killer. Reboots, sequels, and the language of franchise revivals all become material for the spoof. Viewers can sample that tone in the trailer below before deciding whether this reunion belongs on their weekend list.

Paramount+’s September guide lists both the theatrical version and an extended cut for the streaming debut. That gives returning viewers a reason to check which version they select, while newcomers can start with the theatrical release. The platform’s trailer listing carries an R rating; this is an adult comedy choice when the household is sorting out what to watch together.

For PowerPage readers, the draw is the returning comic ensemble. Hall and Faris’s pairing sits alongside the Wayans brothers’ return to characters that helped establish the series. The streaming arrival also makes this an easy title to compare with the season’s other movie options, without having to build an evening around a theater showtime.
