The new Scary Movie 2026 movie was a hit at the box office, and now Paramount hopes to make even more money with the Scary Movie 6 digital release. The movie coming to platforms to buy and rent starting tomorrow.
This is the sixth film in the series created by Shawn and Marlon Wayans, which first launched with Scary Movie back in 2000—a parody of horror slasher flicks that was heavily influenced by Scream. For this new film, the Wayans brothers are back, having departed from the franchise after the second film, over creative differences with the producers. The sixth film is being called the “spiritual sequel” to the first two films. Whatever that means!
In the cast, Marlon Wayans is back as Shorty Meeks, Shawn Wayans is back as Ray Wilkins, Anna Farris is back as Cindy Campbell, and Regina Hall is back as Brenda Meeks. Much like the plot of the new Scream movies, this new Scary Movie will find this old group of friends reunited with the masked killer. Along the way, they experience many of the horrors featured in new modern horror movies, including Sinners, M3GAN, Weapons, and more.
Before you drop $25 to watch Scary Movie 2026 at home, you should know we expect to see Scary Movie 2026 streaming on Paramount+, free to subscribers, soon.
Where to watch Scary Movie 6 on streaming:
Beginning on Tuesday, July 21 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time (which is also July 20, at 9 p.m. Pacific Time) Scary Movie 6 will be available to buy digitally on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and more. The price may vary depending on which platform you use to purchase the film, but on Amazon Prime the movie costs $24.99 to buy.
Scary Movie 2026 is not yet streaming on any subscription streaming services, but we do expect to see Scary Movie 6 streaming on Paramount+ soon, because it is a Paramount movie.
Paramount+ offers two subscription plans, Essential and Premium. Right now, you can get started with a seven-day free trial on the Premium plan.
The ad-supported Essential plan typically costs $8.99/month, while the ad-free Premium plan (which comes with Showtime titles and live CBS) costs $13.99/month.
When will Scary Movie 2026 be streaming free on Paramount Plus?
You might see Scary Movie 2026 streaming on Paramount+ around early September 2026, in a little over a month.
The official Scary Movie 6 Paramount+ streaming date has not yet been announced. Right now, the movie is only in theaters. That said, we do expect to see Scary Movie 2026 streaming on Paramount+ eventually, but we’re not sure when. Another recent Paramount film, Scream 7, was released on digital platforms one month after opening in theaters, and began streaming on Paramount+ about three months after opening in theaters.
If Scary Movie 6 follows a similar release pattern, you might see the movie on digital around early July 2026, and streaming on Paramount+ around early September 2026. (Presuming that Paramount+ and HBO Max have not yet combined into one streamer yet, as they plan to do.)
But this is all speculation. If you want to watch the new Scary Movie right away, you can buy or rent the film online. In the meantime, you can watch the first five Scary Movie films streaming on Paramount+.
