Where To Watch Scream Movies? The Complete Guide

The very known slasher horror franchise Scream returned earlier this year with its 5th installment, which was released 11 years after Scream 4 and 26 years after the original movie of the franchise directed by Wes Craven. Craven directed the first four movies of the franchise before his death in 2015, and the fifth movie was directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.

The latest movie was released last January and it grossed $140 million against the reported budget of $24 million, which was a decent success. The development of the sequel was announced a month after the movie’s release. Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett will return to direct the sixth installment, with the release date set on March 31, 2023.

The Hollywood Reporter now confirmed that Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, and Jenna Ortega, who starred as Sam Carpenter, Mindy Meeks-Martin, Chad Meeks-Martin, and Tara Carpenter, respectively, are all set to return for the upcoming sequel. Franchise veterans Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Neve Campbell are also expected to return. The filming is set to begin this summer.

The sequel’s plot is kept under wraps, but according to THR, the movie “continues with the four survivors of the Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.”

Written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, and directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, Scream 6 is set to be released on March 31, 2023.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
