Spyglass and Paramount have now announced that the green light has been given for the next installment of the Scream franchise following the success of this year’s sequel.
Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are returning to direct with James Vanderbilt (Murder Mystery, Zodiac) and Guy Busick (Ready or Not, Castle Rock) co-writing the screenplay. Creator Kevin Williamson and the third member of Radio Silence, Chad Villella are executive producing alongside Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre.
There’s no word yet about the plot or cast for Scream 6, but we do know that principal photography is set to kick off this summer.
“Is this real life? Getting to collaborate once again with our friends on the next installment 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 honor.” Vanderbilt and Busick said.
We’ll keep you posted as we learn more. Scream (2022) is set to arrive on Blu-ray and DVD this April.
