Scream VI directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett say the new film is more in line with their style, calling it relentless.

The new trailer for Scream VI can be seen down below. It needed to do certain things to make Scream fans happy while making new fans feel like they were up-to-date with the franchise with the one film. Given that this sequel seemingly surrounds a Ghostface cult, a plot line that was thrown around in an early version of Scream 3, anything is possible. I think that we had to make Scream 5 in order to feel like we had permission to do this one. Also hearing that this installment will have more of Radio Silence’s touch only adds to the excitement. Now, while talking with [NME](https://www.nme.com/news/film/scream-6-interview-directors-jenna-ortega-rawer-aggressive-3383719), directors [Matt Bettinelli-Olpin](https://collider.com/tag/matt-bettinelli-olpin/) and [Tyler Gillett](https://collider.com/tag/tyler-gillett/) (both from Radio Silence) have further teased this fresh take on a [Scream](https://collider.com/tag/scream/) movie.

Scream 6's second trailer is here and shows Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown), Chad (Mason Gooding), Tara (Jenna Ortega), and Sam (Melissa Barrera) battling ...

It will hit movie theaters on March 10, as noted in the new poster for Scream 6 highlighting the cast and setting. [Scream 6](https://www.polygon.com/23508227/scream-6-trailer-new-york-city-ghostface-jenna-ortega) promises two things: a New York setting — a fresh backdrop for the franchise, now that Scream survivors Mindy, Chad, and Tara have moved far away from Woodsboro, California to attend college — and new rules. The new Scream 6 trailer does show plenty of familiar Scream series elements, including the killer(s) Ghostface, and — returning from 2022’s soft reboot

The first trailer for Scream 6 revealed Ghostface's shrine, and there are a bunch of Easter eggs from the previous movies in it – and here they are.

Jill was wearing a blue flannel shirt and khaki skinny pants when she revealed to Sidney that she was the killer, and it was the same outfit she was wearing when the police arrived at Kirby’s house and took her to the hospital. It’s possible that Scream 6’s killer has sketches of every survivor (and victims too, perhaps) and the Ghostface killer that attacked them, or they are obsessed with However, it wasn’t the outfit she was wearing when she died, as she was killed by Gale and Sidney at the hospital, and she was wearing a hospital gown. The uniform most likely belongs to either Deputy Hoss (Adam Brody) or Deputy Anthony Perkins (Anthony Anderson), both killed in Scream 4 while on patrol outside Jill’s house. Billy Loomis was wearing a white t-shirt when he revealed himself as the Ghostface killer and thus was the same one he was wearing when he was killed. Nancy Loomis was wearing a white suit when she was killed by Cotton Weary (Liev Schreiber), with Sidney later shooting her in the head to make sure she was really dead. These are also a reference to [Scream 3’s killer Roman Bridger](https://screenrant.com/scream-3-movie-worst-in-franchise-reason/) (Scott Foley), who was directing Stab 3 but turned his focus to his revenge plan against Sidney, who was revealed to be his half-sister. Before the Scream 6 trailer shows the full shrine, there’s a brief look at Dermot Mulroney, and behind him is Olivia Morris’ (Mariele Jaffe) outfit. Although they will count on the help of Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere), this new Ghostface is unlike any other as they are a lot more brutal and they know a bit too much about the past killers and murders, to the point where they have a shrine dedicated to them – and here’s every Easter egg and costume that can be seen in Scream 6’s shrine. Number nine is a representation of completion but not a final ending, which in Scream 6 and Ghostface’s case, could be all about a new generation of more violent, obsessed fanatic Ghostface killers taking over the franchise. At the center is Billy’s costume, which for some reason is kept in a glass case, while the rest are just on display without any sort of protection, and each one has the name of the killer who wore the costume. This new story is doing things differently by taking the characters to New York City, and it’s the first one without the franchise’s Final Girl, Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), leading the story.

cast survivors of Scream (2022) must fight for their lives once more, this time in New York City. The horror film shared the same name as the original meta whodunit 1996 film that redefined the slasher genre, and was the first movie in the franchise to not be directed by filmmaker and horror pioneer Wes Craven, who died in 2015. Scream 6 just got an accelerated release date, a poster, an official full-length trailer, and a bunch of first-look images — if you weren't on the edge of your seat before, you definitely are now.

The sixth installment of the much-beloved "Scream" franchise is due out March 10 — and a new trailer dropped Thursday to give fans a fresh scare.

This teases that the trio could all be victims of Ghostface's ominous calls, and maybe even one of them is the star of Scream 6's opening kill scene to follow in franchise tradition. Though it could be a way to mock the killer, it will undoubtedly stir up more theories that Sam is truly a killer deep down. Sam also wiped the knife clean in the same fashion as Ghostface. That will change in Scream 6, as confirmed in the trailer. Jack Champion, Devyn Nekoda, and Liana Liberato have all been cast in Scream 6, and it seems likely they will be the peers of the college-aged group. [past characters who turned out to be Ghostface](https://screenrant.com/scream-5-movies-timeline-story-recap-sidney-ghostface/) were never trained killers, and they always made mistakes, but the new killer seems to have a darker, more aggressive nature about them. However, Ghostface still dodges the shots behind the door and still manages to attack her. [full Scream 6 trailer](https://screenrant.com/scream-6-trailer/), Ghostface will use the city surroundings to their advantage while not hesitating to kill if innocent citizens get in the way. The Scream 6 teaser didn't feature the return of Kirby, but thankfully, she appears in the full trailer. It also looks like Ghostface acquired the costumes of all the past killers and proudly displayed them on the stage. As the protective big sister, Sam follows Tara to New York City shortly before the group comes face to face with Ghostface yet again. The pair will team up with the Carpenter sisters and other allies as a new Ghostface killer wreaks havoc after targeting the survivors outside of Woodsboro.

The film’s official synopsis says, “The Scream saga continues with the four survivors of the Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.” An earlier teaser trailer showed the survivors of Scream (2022) on a subway where someone clad in the iconic Ghostface costume watches them.

“We're like, 'Where's Kirby?' We couldn't find her. She doesn't have an agent. She had sort of disappeared,” executive producer Kevin Williamson tells Variety.

“And as a woman in this business, I think it’s really important for us to be valued and to fight to be valued.” “I did not feel that what I was being offered equated to the value that I bring to this franchise, and have brought to this franchise, for 25 years,” Campbell said in a statement in June 2022. Williamson adds that he really loves the team behind the film, noting are “the right people” to be behind this universe: “They have Wes Craven’s DNA in them now and it’s theirs to run with and I love those guys.

The first four “Scream” movies were directed by Wes Craven, who died in 2015.

Scream 6 star Hayden Panettiere opens up about how the much-anticipated slasher sequel will address Kirby's near-death experience in Scream 4.

With many having had their wishes granted through Kirby's return in Scream 6, the questions that surround the circumstances of her return are sure to keep audiences intrigued as the film's release draws ever closer. Kirby's inclusion in this new generation lineup could be key to Scream 6's overall story as her knowledge is likely to aid her fellow survivors, although with some speculating that Kirby could in fact be the killer in Scream 6, it remains to be seen just what sort of role Panettiere has signed on for this time around. As Panettiere states, Kirby's near-death experience has undoubtedly had a major impact on her growth as a character, so it will be interesting to see just how this manifests as Kirby now looks to face Ghostface again. Panettiere opened up about how [Kirby's previous run-in with Ghostface](http://screenrant.com/scream-6-hayden-panettiere-kirby-return-details-response/) has "obviously impacted her life" but she is still the same Kirby at her core. What happened to her has obviously impacted her life, and it sends her in a certain direction, but she's still the same old Kirby at the heart of it. [EW](https://ew.com/movies/scream-vi-hayden-panettiere-jenna-ortega-first-look/) and discussed how Kirby's return in Scream 6 will see an evolved version of her character following the trauma of her past.

"We couldn't find her," executive producer Kevin Williamson says. "She doesn't have an agent. She had sort of disappeared."

During that spell, Williamson met producers who had worked with Panettiere on Nashville—from there, it was all about connecting the dots. A Scream 4 fan favorite and one of the growing collective of women who have survived their dalliances with Ghostface, Kirby (and Panettiere) seem more than primed for a comeback. She had sort of disappeared.”

For Scream VI producer Kevin Williamson, getting Hayden Panettiere back into the horror franchise required some extra effort.

It's tough to predict Kirby's role in "Scream VI" because her place in the franchise is sort of unusual. As Williamson [explained](https://variety.com/2023/film/news/scream-6-hayden-panettiere-kirby-kevin-williamson-1235493823/): Williamson has remained quiet about exactly what Kirby's role will be in "Scream VI," which is probably for the best. [interview with Variety](https://variety.com/2023/film/news/scream-6-hayden-panettiere-kirby-kevin-williamson-1235493823/). [Kirby's confirmed](https://www.slashfilm.com/735150/easter-eggs-you-may-have-missed-in-scream/) as having survived the second round of Woodsboro killings, and has since apparently been living her best life off-screen. Of all the characters returning for "Scream VI," perhaps the most intriguing is Hayden Panettiere's Kirby, who was seemingly killed off for good near the end of "Scream 4."

The Scream 6 trailer shows Hayden Panettiere and Courtney Cox returning as survivors team up against a new Ghostface killer terrorising NYC.

The true feel of the spooky fervour sets in when Barrera’s character says “I have a secret. When he says, “let’s play a game,” you know you are up for some mind-boggling chases and hunts as the Ghostface is in no mood to end it with fair play. The intriguing trailer builds up an eerie mood as viewers are taken on a terrifying journey.

Aside from the noticeable lack of Neve Campbell, Scream VI will also be breaking new ground by shifting the story from Woodsboro to New York City.

Each Scream movie, in its own unique way, has proven prescient about the future of culture, even if sometimes it took decades or more to realize how right they were. While we don’t know the exact story just yet, the trailer makes it seem like Scream 6 could be using a superfan as one of the characters who may or may not be Ghostface this time around. Which seems like it might be the direction of Scream 6 as well. After Scream 2, the franchise’s previous peak, Scream 3 writer Ehren Kruger grabbed the baton from creator Kevin Williamson to comment on Scream’s own place in the movie industry and the state of sequels as money-making machines, churned out by studios with predatory executives. In the timeline of the Scream franchise, it would make perfect sense. Not only did the movie clean up at the box office, with nearly $140 million dollars worldwide, but it also kickstarted the franchise’s online fandom in a way it never had been before.

Scream VI marks a big change in the franchise with two leading Black characters. It's a welcome shift considering what we've seen in the past.

And honestly, there was no reason for Tyson to be there except to have a funny Black guy in the mix. There is Tyson Fox, a Black actor playing the role of Ricky in Stab 3. The second is a We do see more overall diversity in the background thanks to a new location, but what good does that do if you kill all the Black folks? The final Black person in this film is one of my favorites in the franchise: Joel Martin. The first is a horror comedy Scooby-Doo murder mystery with Gail, Dewey, and a gang of annoying actors who die. And a couple of kids in Sid’s class and in the hallways are Black. But, the only Black person who speaks in this film is a reporter. It suggests that the only way a Black person can be safe is to leave or not exist. Or, in the vein of American Horror Story: 1984, she was partnering with a killer to understand them but took things a little too far. And that is a plot thread that literally goes nowhere. The history of Black characters in the Scream films is full of untapped potential, cringy stereotypes, and overall lackluster character development.

From the cast to the release date to the trailer, here's everything to know about 'Scream 6' starring Jenna Ortega, Melissa Barrera, Courtney Cox and Hayden ...

I think that this is probably the most aggressive and violent version of Ghostface we've ever seen, which I think will really be fun to shoot." The trailer then shows the group uncovering something of a "shrine" to Ghostface before they plot how to take the killer down. The sneak peek shows Sam (Barrera) and Tara (Ortega) having a deadly run-in with a Ghostface killer as they try to get help from bystanders in a bodega.

[Neve Campbell](https://people.com/movies/neve-campbell-courteney-cox-scream-cast-remember-wes-craven/), who resumed the role of protagonist (and four-time Ghostface slayer) Sidney Prescott, along with former real-life couple [David Arquette](https://people.com/movies/david-arquette-says-it-was-a-cathartic-experience-to-act-in-scream-alongside-ex-wife-courteney-cox/) and [Courteney Cox](https://people.com/movies/david-arquette-says-it-was-a-cathartic-experience-to-act-in-scream-alongside-ex-wife-courteney-cox/), who portrayed Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers (also a former couple) in all four of the previous films. "I honestly don't believe that if I were a man and had done five installments of a huge blockbuster franchise over 25 years, that the number that I was offered would be the number that would be offered to a man." "And as a woman in this business, I think it's really important for us to be valued and to fight to be valued," she explained. "And it's gonna keep coming for us." "Sadly I won't be making the next Scream film.

The latest trailer for Scream 6 provides a glimpse of Samara Weaving on the phone. Does this hint that she'll be Ghostface's first victim in the film?

As such, this would allow Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett to not only include a familiar face from Ready or Not but to pull off a Drew Barrymore and kill her off in the opening scene. As such, it probably would not have made much sense for Samara Weaving to join the cast as a new central character. That Easter Egg raised some questions about Samara Weaving's role in the film, and it would have been perhaps a bit too meta to have Weaving play a central character in a movie where Ready or Not exists in the universe.

After the late Wes Craven directed the first four films in the beloved horror franchise, Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett took the reins for the fifth film. 2022's ...

[NME](https://www.nme.com/news/film/scream-6-interview-directors-jenna-ortega-rawer-aggressive-3383719), Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett reveal that [Scream 6 is going to be quite different](https://screenrant.com/scream-6-ghostface-violent-kills-jenna-ortega-response/) from their previous entry, promising that the film is "relentless" and "more aggressive". As the film's trailers have already demonstrated, Sam, Tara, and the others being surrounded by people on the subway or in a bodega doesn't make things any less scary – it only gives Ghostface more places to hide and more ways to taunt his victims. With Scream 6 taking place in New York City, there will likely be a number of innocent civilians and A higher body count in Scream 6 could also work really well with the film's New York City setting. I think that we had to make Scream 5 in order to feel like we had permission to do this one. Scream 6 is set to see the return of legacy characters like Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and Kirby (Hayden Panettiere), but also more recent additions like Sam (Melissa Barrera), Tara (Jenna Ortega), Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown), and Chad (Mason Gooding).

Ghostface returns to theaters on March 10 in Scream VI, which means you have two more months to revisit the franchise up to this point.
