Scream 6, which is officially titled Scream VI, has finally given fans their first look at Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere) and confirmed when we can expect the trailer to drop.
The upcoming slasher will follow the four survivors of the fifth film as they move to New York City to go to university. “One of the things that was so exciting to us was bringing the story and bringing this slasher icon into a new location,” said Tyler Gillett, its director, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “I think across the board, for the writers Guy [Busick] and Jamie [Vanderbilt] as well, this was such a fun opportunity to explore what that would feel like, bringing the world of Scream into that setting.” The latest teaser sees Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera) and her younger sister Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega) crawling on the floor of a bodega as they hide from Ghostface.
The newest killer can be seen holding a shotgun and is wearing what appears to be an aged mask that could have been worn by one of their predecessors in a prior Scream movie, though this is yet to be confirmed.
Cox, who plays Gale Weathers, is expected to be the only character from the first film returning after a pay dispute resulted in the departure of the franchise’s beloved lead, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell).
