An untitled Scream sequel (also known as Scream 6) is an upcoming American slasher film directed by Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) and written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick with original writer and creator Kevin Williamson returning as executive producer. It will be the sixth installment in the Scream film series and a direct sequel to Scream (2022). It is set to be released on March 31, 2023.[1][2]

The film stars Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding and Dermot Mulroney.[3] Courteney Cox and Hayden Panettiere reprise their roles from previous installments.[4] Franchise star Neve Campbell announced that she would not be returning due to not being pleased with the offer presented to her, which would make Scream 6 the first film in the franchise to not feature the actress.[5]

Sypnosis

The film continues with the survivors of the latest Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter in New York City.[6]

Development

Prior to the release of Scream 4, series creator Kevin Williamson claimed he had already "mapped out" Scream 5 and Scream 6, but would wait to see the box office success of the fourth installment before signing on for any more films.[10] In July 2014, Williamson revealed that Scream 4 was intended to kick off a new trilogy of films, but the film "never took off in a way they hoped". Williamson also said that he would likely not be involved in any further entries, as the series director Wes Craven and his team were "done" with him.[11] In Williamson's initial pitch, Scream 5 saw Jill Roberts being stalked by a killer at her college campus, while Scream 6 would feature Gale Weathers as the main character and deal with her relationship with Dewey Riley.[12]

In January 2022, Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, and Tyler Gillett expressed interest in making future films in the series.[13] Courteney Cox would later express an interest in a sequel while doing publicity for Shining Vale.[14] A sixth film was officially green-lit on February 3, 2022 by Spyglass Media Group. Olpin and Gillett of Radio Silence would return to direct while James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick would write the script once again.[15] By the end of the month, Campbell was approached the return for the film.[16] The following month, Cox had received the script and was courted to reprise her role.[17] Also in March 2022, the sixth film's release date was set for March 31, 2023.[18] By May, plot details emerged, setting the film outside of Woodsboro.[19] In June, Ortega said the film would feature a more "aggressive and violent" ghostface than in previous entries.[20]

Casting

In May 2022, it was announced that Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, and Jenna Ortega would also return for the sixth film.[21] The following day, it was also announced that Hayden Panettiere would reprise her role of Kirby Reed from the fourth film.[22] When asked on her involvement in the film, Cox claimed that her contract was not yet completed.[23] On June 3, it was announced that Dermot Mulroney had joined the cast, playing a cop.[8] In June, Cox officially confirmed her involvement with the film.[24] However on that same day, Campbell had seemingly confirmed she would not return for the film, with Bloody Disgusting corroborating the reports.[25]

Campbell's involvement

On June 6, 2022, it was announced Campbell would not be returning as Sidney Prescott for the sixth film. The actress made a statement[5] about how her contract and salary negotiations had stalled with Paramount Pictures:

"As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream. I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise. It's been a very difficult decision to move on. To all my Scream fans, I love you. You've always been so incredibly supportive to me. I'm forever grateful to you and to what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years."[26]

IndieWire noted Campbell had spent 26 years acting in the franchise, and announced it was "the end of an era".[27] David Arquette stated "I'd love for her to be a part of it. A Scream movie without Sidney is kind of unfortunate, but I understand her decision. It's all a business in a way, they have to balance all these elements to fit a budget and produce a film."[28] Former Scream costars Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy also expressed their support of Campbell's decision and praised her contributions to the series.[29]

Filming

Filming began on June 6, 2022 in Montreal, Canada, with Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, and William Sherak acting as producers under Project X Entertainment, while Chad Villella, Cathy Konrad, Marianne Maddalena and Williamson will serve as executive producers.[30][31][32][33]
