The Cast of Scream 5 adds more names to it with Mason Gooding of Booksmart and Dylan Minnete of 13 Reasons Why. The last film ‘Scream’ debuted in 2011. For many years, there was uncertainty about another installment in the franchise.
The death of creator Wes Craven in 2015 strengthened an extra coating of uncertainty. However, rumors began last year that Scream 5 was in development and thus people were looking for a cast of Scream 5. And they were verified correctly in March when “Ready or Not” directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett joined to steer the project. Since then, a slew of main names has been added to the cast of Scream 5.
3 franchise icons will join the cast of Scream 5, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, and Neve Campbell.
Campbell was the last one out of three to sign and join the cast of Scream 5. Her involvement in the cast of Scream 5 was announced on Thursday.
List of Cast of Scream 5 Increased
In addition to these veterans, Scream 5 will star new characters played by Melissa Barrera, Jack Quaid, and Jenna Ortega. Their characters stay unknown for the time being. Now, mere hours after Campbell’s return was announced, the list of cast members of Scream 5 has risen by a few more names.
According to the report of Deadline, Gooding and Minnette have marked anonymous roles in the cast of Scream 5. Gooding was newly seen in Hulu’s Love, Victor, while Minnette closed Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why.
Paramount and Spyglass were originally aiming for a 2021 release, but several release date shuffles have nudged the film to January 2022. Details of the plot are still being protected under wraps, but there’s no suspicion that Ghostface will be back to threaten a new group of victims. In fact, various new characters will end up plunging prey to Ghostface’s knife, though some even speculate that Campbell’s Sidney Prescott could be among the initial ones to die. That would clearly be quite the hit for the franchise.
Filming will happen in Wilmington, North Carolina where the cast of Scream 5 will join each other.
All these casting declarations indicate filming could be nearer than it seems. Hopefully, more plot details will be disclosed when production starts. As fans are super excited to find out what will happen in Scream 5.
