Scream 6: Every Legacy Character & Survivor Who Could Return

Warning: Spoilers for Scream 2022 ahead.

The odds of Scream 6 returning the franchise to the screen seem high, especially with plenty of legacy characters and Ghostface killer survivors who could return for the movie. Eleven years after Scream 4, the Scream franchise was revived with Scream 2022, bringing back iconic characters like Sidney Prescott, Gale Weathers, Dewey Riley, Martha Meeks, and the ghost of Billy Loomis. Even outside of on-screen returns, Scream 2022's numerous Easter eggs to past survivors grew the number of characters who could be involved in the franchise’s future. Only a few tend to survive Scream’s movies, but there’s always enough new and returning survivors to appear in a sequel.

While Scream movies seem to always keep Sidney, Gale, and Dewey alive to progress the franchise and serve as its basis, Scream 2022 did the unthinkable by killing off the latter character. Dewey sadly won’t be returning for Scream 6, but the 2022 movie still left plenty of survivors and previous characters to continue the franchise. Scream 2022’s killing spree was based on the idea of Scream original legacy characters and their family members, proving just how important it is for the franchise to be related to a survivor or killer from Woodsboro’s Ghostface murders. AsScream has proved time and again, just because a character has survived one Ghostface killer spree does not mean they’ll survive another.
