The next “Scream” movie, helmed by returning directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, will leave the usual setting of Woodsboro, California for New York.
It will follow the four survivors of Ghostface’s murders in the previous film, played by Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown (Mindy Meeks-Martin), Melissa Barrera (Sam Carpenter) and Jenna Ortega (Tara Ortega).
“Scream” stars Courteney Cox and Hayden Panettiere will return as Gale Weathers and Kirby Reed, respectively.
Other newcomers to the horror franchise, in addition to Revolori, include Samara Weaving, Dermot Mulroney, Josh Segarra and Liana Liberato.

The release date of “Scream 6” has not been announced yet, but details about the film have been revealed.
In a recent interview for the “20 Questions On Deadline” podcast, Barrera said the film will take place “pretty much right after the last one.”
“Basically, the time that has passed between one film and the other is the time that has passed in ‘Scream’ time,” he said.
In an interview with Collider, Barrera said that having the killer show up in New York is much more “catastrophic.”
“It’s awful, because you also see how, in a city like New York, everyone is doing their own thing and someone is screaming for help, and no one will come to help,” he said. “No one comes to help them, everyone says ‘I’m not into this.’
