Scream 6: Dermot Mulroney gives details on the character he’s playing

About a month and a half ago, we heard that Dermot Mulroney had joined the cast of Scream 6, which is set in New York City and is currently filming in Montreal. Scream productions are usually shrouded in secrecy, but Mulroney recently broke the rules a bit. While doing press for the release of the thriller Gone in the Night, where he co-stars with Winona Ryder, he decided to give some details on the character he’s playing in Scream 6!

Speaking with Screen Rant, Mulroney said:

I’m really thrilled to throw down with this great cast, much of the same lead cast from Scream 2022. They’re making another one right away. Thrilled to join up and we’re shooting as we speak. Yeah, I play a cop, so finally they’re asking me to play cops here and there, this is one of them. I guess I shouldn’t say that my daughter is one of the victims, but I don’t have to describe how or in what way, so that’s what draws me into the story is strong family ties.”

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). Franchise regular 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 Hayden Panettiere is back as her Scream 4 character Kirby Reed.

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.

I have been a fan of Dermot Mulroney for decades at this point, so I look forward to seeing him share the screen with Ghostface in Scream 6. It sounds like he’s going to have an interesting role in the movie.
