The sixth installment of the Scary Movie franchise is now officially streaming on Paramount+. The release coincides with the platform’s official announcement of its 2026 Peak Screaming Halloween season lineup. According to HorrorFuel, the film is available immediately for viewers.

Arriving more than 13 years after Scary Movie 5 and 26 years after the original, the new entry reunites the franchise’s core team. Marlon and Shawn Wayans return as Shorty and Ray Wilkins, while Anna Faris reprises her role as Cindy Campbell and Regina Hall returns as Brenda Meeks. The group is thrust back into a masked killer’s crosshairs in the latest spoof.

The film is directed by Michael Tiddes and written by the Wayans family alongside Rick Alvarez. The cast includes returning favorites Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, and Chris Elliott. Newcomers to the franchise include Kenan Thompson, Kim Wayans, Damon Wayans Jr. , and Heidi Gardner.

The film satirizes elevated horror, requels, prequels, legacy reboots, and final chapters that never actually end. The original creative minds are back in charge, ensuring the tone remains consistent with the series’ history of parodying contemporary trends.

During its theatrical run earlier this year, the film grossed over $230 million worldwide. The streaming release extends the film’s availability to a broader audience ahead of the Halloween season.

No further details regarding physical media releases or international streaming windows have been announced in the provided source material. The current focus remains on the digital availability via Paramount+ as part of the seasonal lineup.
