Last Updated on July 13, 2023

Stepping into Wes Craven’s shoes is never an easy task, yet the team of Radio Silence took it on with gusto and managed to bring not just one great sequel, but a great followup as with. With Scream VI coming out on Bluray this week, I was fortunate enough to sit down with the directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett to discuss the film. While they may be off with Scream star Melissa Barrera filming a mysterious monster movie, their enthusiasm for the Scream franchise is ever-present. So check out the interview above and see what the process behind Scream VI was really like.

Scream VI plot: The four survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.

Those four survivors are the returning Scream 2022 characters played by Melissa Barrera (as Samantha Carpenter), Jenna Ortega (as Samantha’s sister Tara Carpenter), Mason Gooding (as Mindy’s brother Chad Meeks-Martin), and Jasmin Savoy Brown (as Mindy Meeks-Martin). They’re seeking to start a fresh chapter in New York City… but while the story is set in New York, the movie was filmed in Montreal.

Also in the cast are franchise regular Courteney Cox (as Gale Weathers), Scream 4 star Hayden Panettiere (as Kirby Reed), and new additions Dermot Mulroney as Detective Bailey, Samara Weaving as Laura, Tony Revolori as Jason, Liana Liberato as Quinn, Josh Segarra as Danny, Jack Champion as Ethan, Devyn Nekoda as Anika, and Henry Czerny as Dr. Stone.
