Wayans Brothers Confirm New Scary Movie After Nearly 20-Year Hiatus
In exciting news for horror-comedy fans, the Wayans brothers have confirmed the return of the iconic Scary Movie franchise after almost two decades. Marlon Wayans, alongside his brothers Keenen Ivory and Shawn, announced on social media their plans to create a new installment of the popular spoof series.
Known for their parody films, the Wayans brothers were the creative minds behind the original two Scary Movie films, which gained a cult following for their hilarious take on classic horror tropes. Now, after a long absence, the trio is reuniting to bring back the laughter and screams to the big screen.
Fans were delighted by Marlon Wayans’ announcement on social media, which included a spooky photo of himself standing next to the iconic Ghostface character.

After nearly 20 years, the Wayans brothers are finally going to give the fans what they’ve been asking for… a return to the SCARY MOVIE franchise! We’re looking forward to having fun on the big screen again.”
The original Scary Movie debuted in 2000, poking fun at popular teen slasher films like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, and raking in over $270 million worldwide. The film catapulted actors Anna Faris and Regina Hall to fame, though their involvement in the upcoming sequel remains uncertain.
With production set to begin next year, the Wayans brothers, along with long-time collaborator Rick Alvarez, will be writing and producing the new film. Deadline reports that audiences can expect a return to the chaotic comedy that made Scary Movie a box office hit in the early 2000s.
Expressing their enthusiasm for the project, Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen stated, “We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the new Scary Movie and work with each other again. This is a franchise we created more than 20 years ago. We remember people laughing in the aisles and hope to see that happen again.”
Adding to the excitement, Miramax boss Jonathan Glickman shared, “We are thrilled to reunite Scary Movie with the Wayans brothers, the brilliant creators behind the beloved franchise. The timing is perfect to bring back the series to the big screen, and we’re lucky to have Keenen, Marlon, and Shawn’s unique comedic vision bringing it to audiences around the world.”
