Development
Before the release of Scream 4, series creator Kevin Williamson claimed he had already “mapped out” Scream 5 and Scream 6, but would wait to see the box office hit of the fourth installment before signing on for any more additional films. In July 2014, Williamson announced that Scream 4 was intended to kick off a new trilogy of movies, but the film never took off in the way they hoped. Williamson also stated that he would likely not be implicated in any further exits, as the series director Wes Craven and his team were done with him. In Williamson’s initial slope, Scream 5 saw Jill Roberts standing stalked by a killer at her college campus, while Scream 6 would feature Gale Weathers as the main character and trade with her relationship with Dwight “Dewey” Riley.
In January 2022, Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, and Tyler Gillett expressed interest in making future movies in the series. Courteney Cox would subsequently express an attraction in a sequel while promoting Shining Vale. A sixth movie was officially green-lit on February 3, 2022, by Spyglass Media Group. Olpin and Gillett of Radio Silence would come back to direct while James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick would write the script once again. By the end of the month, Campbell was hovered to return for the film. The following month, Cox received the script and was wooed to reprise her role. Also in March 2022, the sixth movie release date was set for March 31, 2023. By May, plot details emerged, setting the film above Woodsboro. Instead, the film will carry place in New York City. In June, Ortega said the movie would feature a more “aggressive and violent” Ghostface than in previous entrances.
