Twelve years have gone by since the release of a new entry in the Scary Movie horror parody series – but the franchise isn’t going to remain dormant for much longer. Last April, it was announced that the Miramax label at Paramount, which is now operating under new boss Jonathan Glickman, had given the greenlight to a new Scary Movie sequel, with the plan being to get the film into theatres sometime in 2025. Now we know exactly when the new movie is going to be released… but it’s not going to be this year. Scary Movie 6 is scheduled to reach theatres on June 12, 2026. As of right now, we know this is going to put it in direct competition with the next movie from the Daniels, the directing duo behind Best Picture Oscar winner Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Eleven years have gone by since the release of a new entry in the Scary Movie horror parody series – but the franchise isn’t going to remain dormant for much longer. Back in April, it was announced that the Miramax label at Paramount, which is now operating under new boss Jonathan Glickman, had given the greenlight to a new Scary Movie sequel, with the plan being to get the film into theatres sometime in 2025. We recently learned that the series is being revived with the help of the people who got it started in the first place: the Wayans Brothers – and now Regina Hall, who played the character Brenda Meeks in the first four movies, has said she thinks it would be fun to come back and work on the new sequel with the Wayans.

That announcement didn’t include any mention of writers or a director – but now Deadline has revealed that Scary Movie 6 marks the return of the Wayans Brothers to the franchise. They haven’t been involved with the Scary Movie series since the second movie.

Fans who have been waiting around for Act Your Age season 2 will be disappointed to learn that the comedy series is not moving forward with more episodes. Act Your Age is a Bounce TV original that premiered in March 2023 and went on for 16 episodes. Starring Yvette Nicole Brown of Community fame as Angela Martin, Tisha Campbell from Martin as Keisha, and Kym Whitley of You People as Bernadette, Act Your Age follows these three women in the prime of their lives, all living together and helping one another despite their differences in personality.

Pitched in a similar tone to The Golden Girls to feel like a 1980s sitcom, Act Your Age is a funny and heartwarming series with three excellent performances at its center. The final episode of season 1 aired on July 29, 2023, and many fans were hopeful that the next season would soon be on its way. However, months passed...

A few months ago, Paramount and Miramax announced that they are reviving the Scary Movie horror parody series to bring a Scary Movie 6 to theatres sometime in 2025 – and that announcement has inspired us to go back and revisit the earlier entries in the franchise. Last month, we covered the original Scary Movie, and now time for Scary Movie 2 (watch it Here) to get the Revisited treatment. You can hear all about it in the video embedded above.

Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans from a screenplay written by the team of Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Alyson Fouse, Greg Grabianski, Dave Polsky, Michael Anthony Snowden, and Craig Wayans, Scary Movie 2 has the following synopsis: As the supernatural extension of the first film, Scary Movie 2 casts its satirical eye on such iconic classics as The Exorcist, House on Haunted Hill, and Poltergeist, as well as the more recent films Hannibal and What Lies Beneath.

Act Your Age is a hilarious retro-style sitcom on Bounce following 3 best friends in their 50s. The show is inspired by The Golden Girls, highlighting true friendship and the difficulties of being an adult. Pitch-perfect casting of sitcom veterans gives Act Your Age a fantastic retro vibe.

Created by Alyson Fouse for the Bounce network, Act Your Age is a hilarious retro-style sitcom that debuted in March 2023. The show follows three best friends navigating personal and professional ups and downs in their 50s. The three friends include Angela (Yvette Nicole Brown), Bernadette (Kym Whitley), and Kiesha (Tisha Campbell), each of whom has their triumphs and tribulations to deal with at home and in the workplace.

Inspired by The Golden Girls' award-winning sitcom, Act Your Age is a delightful throwback to situational comedies that provide simple and pure diversionary entertainment. The show also underscores the meaning of true friendship while proving...

Adulting is hard, at any age. So when three successful ladies in their fifties have a chance to bunk up and tackle life together, they jump at the chance. And hijinks? Oh, it ensues. Starring Kym Whitley, Tisha Campbell, and Yvette Nicole Brown, the sitcom Act Your Age was created by Alyson Fouse and originally premiered on Bounce TV in 2023.

Stream it now.

Keisha (Campbell), a divorcée from Miami, and Angela (Brown), a recent widower from Norfolk, Virginia, are visiting their best friend Bernadette (Whitley), who’s just been awarded the key to the city. To be clear: Keisha and Bernadette are besties, and so are Angela and Bernadette — but Keisha and Angela? They’re a little bit cool on each other. In the spirit of celebrating Bernadette, however, they put their differences aside and show up with bells on. Except Bernadette was lying to get them...

Deadline reports that the Miramax label at Paramount, which is now operating under new boss Jonathan Glickman, has given the greenlight to a new Scary Movie sequel, with the plan being to get the film into theatres sometime in 2025. If any writers or a director are attached to the project, they weren’t named in this announcement.

Directed by In Living Color creator Keenen Ivory Wayans from a screenplay written by a bunch of people, the first Scary Movie was released by Dimension Films back in 2000. Scary Movie 2 was released in 2001, and the Wayans remained at the head of the creative team for that one. Keenen Ivory Wayans directed it from a screenplay credited to Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans,...

The American Black Film Festival (ABFF) has announced the lineup for this year’s Talks Series, headlined by 2023 festival ambassador Lena Waithe.

The 27th edition of the festival will be held June 14-18 in Miami Beach, followed by a virtual program June 19-25 on ABFF Play. On Thursday, June 15, the Emmy-winning writer, producer and actor will sit for an intimate one-on-one conversation, billed as “The Lena Waithe Effect,” where she’ll recount her journey in the entertainment industry.

In addition to Waithe, the series of conversations and panels also features: “That’s Our Business,” a candid conversation with Tabitha Brown and her husband Chance Brown; a panel discussion with TV One Networks’ Kirk and Tammy Franklin (“The One”) and LisaRaye McCoy (“Asking for a Friend”); a look behind-the-scenes of Bounce TV’s “Act Your Age” starring Kym Whitley and Yvette Nicole Brown; a celebration of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary with...

“Act Your Age” earns another win for Alyson Fouse and Bounce TV.

The sitcom starring Kym Whitley, Tisha Campbell, and Yvette Nicole Brown opened to an audience of 2.14 million total viewers with its two-episode back-to-back premiere on March 4 on Bounce TV, according to figures from Nielsen. Thus, making it the most-watched half-hour series launch in Bounce history.

The initial airing was also pushed with a special presentation on Bounce’s sister network, Ion.

“It’s the storytelling. It’s wonderful and I think there needs to be something said about how it really well represents black women in America today. That’s a real breath of fresh air,” said executive producer and David Hudson. “It’s fun, it’s funny, it’s engaging, it’s reflective. I think it has real broad appeal for a lot of women, men as well.”

Hudson adds: “Straight off the bat as we started...

Up against a ticking clock, Kym Whitley had to make a quick decision of whether she would join Alyson Fouse’s latest sitcom “Act Your Age.” She was on the fence as the final cast member to round out the trio — that is, until she received a call from her soon-to-be castmates and longtime friends Yvette Nicole Brown and Tisha Campbell.

The “Young & Hungry” alum hilariously recounted the story during the Bounce TV show’s red carpet premiere on Monday night at The London Hotel in West Hollywood.

Around the time of a Jewish holiday weekend some time ago, Whitley said she received a call from her agents asking her to give them a definite answer on Fouse’s offer. There wasn’t much time to consider the request as the show was scheduled to begin production the following week.

It wasn’t until she received a call from...

Act Your Age is coming to Bounce in Spring 2023. Starring Kym Whitley and Tisha Campbell, the new comedy series follows three women as they try to figure out how to adjust to life in their 50s. Yvette Nicole Brown appears as a special guest star, and Alyson Fouse serves as the showrunner. The cable channel has ordered 16 half-hour episodes.

Kym Whitley, Tisha Campbell and Yvette Nicole Brown are set to star in “Act Your Age,” a multi-camera comedy series from MGM Television that is expected to premiere on Bounce in the spring.

Bounce, the digital multicast and streaming channel that targets Black viewers, has given the series a 16-episode order. It’s the third original scripted comedy series scheduled to join the Bounce lineup, on the heels of “Johnson” and “Finding Happy.” The show is also a notable new piece of business for MGM Television since the studio was acquired by Amazon earlier this year.

“Act Your Age” reads like a “Golden Girls”-esque ensemble for a new era. Whitley plays Bernadette, a successful, no-nonsense real estate developer. Campbell plays Keisha, described as “the wild card of the group who is always up to something.” Brown, who is billed as a special guest star, plays Angela, the former First Lady of Norfolk,...

“Reginald the Vampire,” a dramedy based on Johnny B. Truant’s “Fat Vampire” book series, stars MCU veteran Jacob Batalon as Reginald Andres. Andres tumbles into a world populated by beautiful, fit and vain vampires as an unlikely hero who will have to navigate numerous obstacles along the way, from forbidden love to bullying to a vampire chieftain who wants him dead.

SurrealEstate will join previously announced new scripted series Reginald the Vampire, a dramedy based on Johnny B. Truant’s Fat Vampire book, and space-set survival drama The Ark, from writer Dean Devlin, as well as Halloween horror movie Bring It On: Cheer or Die.

Syfy’s latest programming slate includes the return of the #1 and #2 new scripted cable series of 2021, the Alan Tudyk-led dramedy Resident Alien and Chucky, executive produced by Don Mancini.

How many dance movies are there going to be before its target audience yawns itself into a coma? Honey 2 is the sequel (of sorts, although it has very little to do with its predecessor) to 2003’s Jessica Alba Dance ‘em up Honey.

It stars Katerina Graham as Maria, a dancer recently released from juvie who’s assigned a job as a caretaker for the Honey Daniels training school and taken under the wing of Honey’s mother (Lonette McKee – the only tenuous link to the first movie). Despite trying to stay on the straight and narrow, she’s constantly tempted by her sleazy ex-boyfriend Luis, who was responsible for her incarceration in the first place.
