You haven’t seen the last of Ghostface yet. Paramount has ordered up a new Scream sequel – making this Scream 6 – following this year’s legacy slasher horror, with the same 2022 creative team at the helm.

Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will therefore be back in the directors’ chairs, with James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick also returning to pen the script. Production on the as-yet-unnamed sequel is slated to begin this summer.

“Working with such a wonderful and talented family of creators — and in the lineage Wes [Craven] and Kevin [Williamson] so expertly built — has been the thrill of a lifetime, and we’re so excited to bring the next chapter in the Scream saga to life,” Radio Silence said in a statement.

Vanderbilt and Busick also expressed their enthusiasm at the news: “Is this real life? Getting to collaborate once again with our friends on the next instalment of the Scream story is more than we could have hoped for. We are overwhelmed that we get to continue to play in the sandbox that Kevin and Wes created. It is, as Ghostface would say, an honour.”

We, for one, can’t wait to see where the franchise goes next.
