Words Aaron Potter

Last year’s Scream revival was a real surprise hit, gloriously skewering the modern “legacy-quel” and “re-quel” trends without dulling its satirical sharpness, slashing self-awareness, and classic Scream scares. Bringing past and present together, a new generation of Woodsboro teens team up with franchise favourites to solve a new mystery and Melissa Barrera’s Sam Carpenter confronts her family history to save her sister, Jenna Ortega’s Tara, from Ghostface’s blade.

Fast forward one year later and the sisters have travelled to New York City in search of sanctuary. It isn’t long, however, until this fresh chapter of their lives is disrupted by a new streak of familiar-looking, but even more brutal murders.

Fortunately, the siblings will have help from Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding’s returning Meeks-Martin twins Mindy and Chad, Courteney Cox’s Gale Weathers, and Hayden Panettiere’s Kirby Reed from Scream 4.

Everyone will need to work together to learn the new rules of survival and unmask New York’s version of the infamous killer. Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott may be sitting this grisly adventure out, but last year’s success means there’s faith that the new generation can deliver a nightmare in the city that never sleeps.
