With filming currently underway for the untitled sixth installment of the Scream franchise, I thought now would be a good time to do something of a rundown of what we know about the upcoming movie for now. Without further ado, here we go.
Story Details: In the past we've had movies that have taken place outside of Woodsboro with mixed results and we know that this movie the action will take place in New York City with a mixture of returning and new characters caught in the crossfire of Ghostface yet again. Set pics have indicated a winter setting but others have also specifically pointed towards Halloween. We do know that the younger surviving cast from the previous movie will be attending college. Of course before I get into who will be returning, I have to talk about who won't be.
Sidney No More: In news that's something of a downer, this upcoming movie will be the first movie not to feature Neve Campbell's legacy survivor, Sidney Prescott. Yes, the issue boiled down to a pay dispute and yes, the studio are idiots not to pay her. Also yes to the fact that a Scream movie not featuring the iconic Final Woman is going to feel off, even if she had been underused in the 2022 movie and the story has moved beyond Sidney Prescott. Hopefully the writers don't give Sidney an offscreen death and if this movie does well, maybe the character can return in a seventh installment. As for who will be returning, you won't be too shocked.
Returning For Another Slice: Considering that they all made it out of the events of the previous movie alive (just about), our returning main cast will comprise of Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding as Samantha and Tara Carpenter and Mindy and Chad Martin-Meeks will be experiencing life in the Big Apple as well as a new Ghostface(s) to boot. Also returning will be Courtney Cox as Gale Weathers, making her the only actor along with Roger L. Jackson's Ghostface to have featured in every movie of the franchise so far. Last but definitely not least will be the return of Hayden Panettiere as Kirby Reed. A popular character from the fourth movie who had been confirmed alive in the fifth movie, it'll be interesting to see Kirby will factor into the events of this one.
New Blood: It wouldn't be a new Scream movie without some new blood added into the mix and while it's likely that more casting could be announced in due course, it's been confirmed that Dermot Mulrooney, Josh Segarra, Jack Champion, Liana Liberato, Devyn Nekoda and Henry Czerny have been cast in undisclosed roles for now. Both James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick have written the script with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet returning to directing the movie.
Filming for the currently untitled sixth Scream movie is taking place in Montreal and will hit theatres from March 31st 2023.
