In a bombshell announcement that has comedy fans cheering, the legendary Wayans brothers are returning to the franchise that changed horror-comedy forever.
That’s right – Keenen Ivory, Marlon, and Shawn Wayans are reuniting after 18 years to bring us a brand-new “Scary Movie,” and we’ve got all the scoop!
The Wayans Brothers Reunion We’ve Been Waiting For
Remember those early 2000s laughs that had you rolling in the theater aisles?
The masterminds behind those unforgettable moments are back together.
The Wayans brothers aren’t just starring in the new installment – they’re writing and producing it too, bringing their signature style of comedy back to the big screen where it belongs.
“We couldn’t be more excited,” the Wayans brothers shared, reflecting on the franchise they created over two decades ago.
“We remember people laughing in the aisles and hope to see that happen again.”
And honestly, who doesn’t remember those hilarious parodies of “Scream” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer“?
A Legacy Of Laughter
Let’s talk numbers, because they’re impressive.
The original “Scary Movie” franchise wasn’t just funny – it was a box office phenomenon.
With five films grossing over $896 million worldwide, the series proved that horror and comedy are a match made in heaven.
The first film alone smashed records, securing the biggest opening for an R-rated horror movie at $42.5 million, while also making history as the highest-grossing film by a Black director at that time.
What’s Coming Next?
The new “Scary Movie” is set to begin filming next year, with Miramax and Paramount Pictures joining forces to bring this comedy juggernaut back to theaters.
Miramax’s Jonathan Glickman couldn’t contain his excitement, calling it “the perfect timing to bring back the series.”
While we eagerly await more details about the plot and cast, Marlon Wayans recently took to Instagram to share the news with fans: “WE’RE BACK!!! 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!”
In the meantime, comedy fans can catch Marlon Wayans on his Wild Child Tour, and look forward to his upcoming psychological sports thriller “HIM,” produced by Jordan Peele‘s Monkeypaw Productions, coming September 2025.
Are you ready to laugh until you scream again? Because the kings of parody are back, and they’re bringing their A-game to a new generation of comedy fans.
