The latest installment in the 'Scary Movie' franchise, officially titled 'Scary Movie 6' and also referred to as 'Scary Movie 2026,' is now available on digital platforms for purchase and rental. This release follows the film's theatrical run and is expected to become available on the Paramount+ streaming service in the near future.
The film marks the return of the Wayans brothers, Shawn and Marlon, who departed the franchise after its second installment. This sixth film is being described as a "spiritual sequel" to the original two movies. The returning cast includes Marlon Wayans as Shorty Meeks, Shawn Wayans as Ray Wilkins, Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell, and Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks. The plot reportedly sees the main characters confronting a masked killer and parodying elements from recent horror films such as 'Sinister,' 'M3GAN,' and 'Witcher.'
Beginning Tuesday, July 21, at 12 a.m. Eastern Time (9 p.m. Pacific Time on July 20), 'Scary Movie 6' can be purchased digitally on platforms including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. The purchase price may vary by platform, with a $24.99 cost listed on Amazon Prime Video.
While 'Scary Movie 6' is not yet available on any subscription streaming services, it is anticipated to debut on Paramount+ due to its distribution by Paramount Pictures. A specific release date for Paramount+ has not been announced. However, based on the release pattern of similar Paramount films, such as 'Scream 7,' 'Scary Movie 6' might become available on Paramount+ around early September 2026. 'Scream 7' became available for digital purchase approximately one month after its theatrical release and began streaming on Paramount+ about three months after its theater debut.
Paramount+ offers two subscription tiers: Essential, an ad-supported plan costing $8.99 per month, and Premium, an ad-free plan with additional content for $13.99 per month. Both plans offer a seven-day free trial for the Premium option. The first five films in the 'Scary Movie' series are currently available for streaming on Paramount+.
