Spyglass Media and Paramount Pictures companies resurrected the slasher movie series in January with 2022’s “Scream” – also the name of 1996 original that started it all.

The upcoming movie will follow Sam (Barrera), Mindy (Brown), Chad (Gooding), and Tara (Ortega)—four survivors of the most recent batch of Ghostface killings—as they leave the town of Woodsboro behind in an attempt for a fresh start.

It fired up a rebound year at the box office for Paramount, grossing $140M worldwide. Neve Campbell returned with Cox (who plays Gale Weathers) and David Arquette (Dewey Riley).

Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who helmed the latest installment, return as directors. James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick co-wrote the screenplay, with Project X Entertainment’s Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein, and William Sherak serving as producers.

The franchise creator Kevin Williamson and Radio Silence’s third member, Chad Villella, are exec producing alongside Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre, Ron Lynch, Cathy Konrad, and Marianne Maddalena.

“Scream 6” hit theaters on March 31, 2023.
