It looks like some familiar faces will be returning for a second round with Ghostface next year, as Deadline is reporting that Melissa Barrera (Sam Carpenter), Jenna Ortega (Tara Carpenter), Jasmin Savoy Brown (Mindy Meeks-Martin), and Mason Gooding (Chad Meeks-Martin) have all signed on to reprise their roles in the upcoming sixth installment in the blockbuster Scream franchise.
The quartet will reunite with directors Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) as well as screenwriters James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, who also penned the 2022 installment.
Scream (2022) is one of this year's biggest box office smashes, grossing over $140 million worldwide on an estimated $24 million production budget, and successfully reviving the classic horror franchise after a decade-long hiatus.
No word yet on whether surviving legacy cast members Neve Campbell (Sidney Prescott) or Courteney Cox (Gale Weathers) will be returning for the yet-to-be-titled Scream 6, but we wouldn't rule out the possibility just yet.
While plot details are under heavy lock-and-key, it looks like the next film will not take place in Woodsboro, as the four survivors will leave the small town behind to start a new chapter in their lives. Unfortunately for them, Ghostface won't be far behind.
Production is slated to begin early this summer, with the studio aiming for a March 31, 2023 release date.
