After pulling in over $100 million worldwide in theaters, this year’s brand new Scream movie is getting a sequel, with “Scream 6“ officially ordered up by Paramount and Spyglass!
Production is already set to kick off this summer, we’ve learned, with Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett returning to direct the franchise’s next installment!
James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick are also back to write the script.
Creator Kevin Williamson and the third member of Radio Silence, Chad Villella, are executive producing alongside Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre.
No plot details are available at this time, and without spoiling anything about this year’s movie, there are still plenty of characters alive to do battle with the next Ghostface…
“We are tremendously grateful to the fans around the world who enthusiastically received our film. We can’t wait for audiences to see what Radio Silence, writers Jamie & Guy and Project X have in store for our Woodsboro family,” Spyglass and Paramount said in a statement.
“Working with such a wonderful and talented family of creators — and in the lineage Wes and Kevin 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 added in their own statement.
