The Scream franchise made headlines this week with the news that Neve Campbell won’t be back for Scream 6 – you can read Campbell’s statement here – which has caused some confusion about the direction of the franchise going forward. It would seem the plan for next year’s movie is to focus more on the new characters, including Jenna Ortega‘s Tara Carpenter.
This year’s movie kicked off with a Ghostface attack sequence but subverted expectations by having Ortega’s character survive to fight another day, and she’ll be back in Scream 6 next year. On the red carpet at the MTV Movie and TV Awards – where Ortega took home gold for her performance in Scream – Ortega teased what we can expect from the next Ghostface.
Ortega told Entertainment Tonight, “Ghostface gets a lot more intimidating. I just read part of the script, and it just gets more and more gory. I think that this is probably the most aggressive and violent version of Ghostface we’ve ever seen.”
You can watch the red carpet chat below.
The new sequel brings Ghostface back to theaters on March 31, 2023.
Scream 6‘s official plot description reads, “The Scream saga continues with the four survivors of the Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.”
Melissa Barrera (“Sam”), Jasmin Savoy Brown (“Mindy”), Mason Gooding (“Chad”), and Jenna Ortega (“Tara”) are all confirmed to return in the next installment of Spyglass Media and Paramount Pictures’ Scream film franchise, alongside Hayden Panettiere as Scream 4 character Kirby. Just last week, Dermot Mulroney (Umma) became the latest to sign on.
Courteney Cox will also be back as Gale Weathers.
At the helm of next year’s brand new sequel are Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Scream, Ready or Not) with James Vanderbilt (Scream, Murder Mystery) & Guy Busick (Scream, Ready or Not) co-writing the screenplay. Project X Entertainment’s Vanderbilt, Paul Neinstein and William Sherak are serving as producers (Scream, Ambulance).
