Its theatrical release date will see the slasher film going up against no direct competition. However, it is set to debut in the same month as a number of high-profile films, including Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among ThievesCreed IIIHaunted MansionShazam! Fury of the Gods, and John Wick: Chapter 4.

Scream 6 will see the directors of the 2022 film Scream return, with Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett stepping back into the franchise after the success of the fifth film. The next installment will reportedly continue with “the four survivors of the Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.”

Joining them in the untitled film are some returning cast members of 2022’s Scream, including Melissa Barrera (Vida), Jenna Ortega (The Babysitter: Killer Queen), Mason Gooding (Booksmart), and Jasmin Savoy Brown (The Leftovers).

The first film, released in 1996, was a surprise smash upon its debut, helping to revive the horror genre for the decade. It became the highest-grossing slasher movie of all time until it was dethroned by 2018’s Halloween reboot. The first movie’s success spawned a franchise that includes three sequels, the first of which remained equally as successful as the first, while the previous two saw middling box office returns and mixed reviews.
