Just a few weeks after the most recent Scream movie (read our review HERE) was released back in January, Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment officially announced that a Scream 6 was in the works. Since then, we’ve learned that Scream 6 is aiming for a March 31, 2023 theatrical release, that Neve Campbell has been approached to reprise the role of Sidney Prescott in it, and Courteney Cox’s character Gale Weathers is in the script. Now Deadline has confirmed that four of the new cast members from this year’s Scream will be returning for next’s year Scream 6. Those cast members are Melissa Barrera, who played Samantha Carpenter; Jasmin Savoy Brown, who played Mindy Meeks-Martin; Mason Gooding, who played Mindy’s brother Chad Meeks-Martin; and Jenna Ortega, who played Sam’s sister Tara Carpenter.
Scream 6 is set to begin filming this summer, and is coming to us from the same creative team as the recent sequel: Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will be directing from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. According to Deadline, this one will show us what happens when
the four survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.
