Scream 6: Courteney Cox wraps, new cast members spotted on set

Scream 6, which is set in New York City and heading toward a March 31, 2023 theatrical release date, has been filming in Montreal for a couple months already – and yesterday, franchise star Courteney Cox took to her Instagram account to confirm that she has finished working on the film. While Cox was putting together a fun video that shows her being stalked by Ghostface even after she has returned home, the official Scream Movies Twitter account was sharing an image that shows returning Scream 2022 cast members Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown on set with franchise newcomers Samara Weaving and Tony Revolori. Both of those social media posts can be seen at the bottom of this article.

Scream 6 is being directed by the previous Scream‘s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who are working from a screenplay that was written by the previous movie’s screenwriters, James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. This one will show us what happens when

the four survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.

Those four survivors are the Scream 2022 characters played by returning stars Melissa Barrera (as Samantha Carpenter), Jasmin Savoy Brown (as Mindy Meeks-Martin), Mason Gooding (as Mindy’s brother Chad Meeks-Martin), and Jenna Ortega (as Sam’s sister Tara Carpenter). Courteney Cox is reprising the role of Gale Weathers. Jack Champion, Liana Liberato, Devyn Nekoda, Josh Segarra, Samara Weaving, Tony Revolori, and Henry Czerny have also been cast in unspecified roles. At this point, we don’t know if Neve Campbell is back at Sidney Prescott or not. She has said she wouldn’t be back, but rumors persist. And Scream 4‘s Hayden Panettiere is back as Kirby Reed. According to YouTuber Critical Overlord, it looks like Thomas Cadrot might be in the cast as well.

Vanderbilt is producing Scream 6 with Paul Neinstein and William Sherak for Project X Entertainment. Original Scream screenwriter Kevin Willamson serves as executive producer alongside Chad Villella, Ron Lynch, Cathy Konrad, Marianne Maddalena, and Spyglass’s Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre.
