Many surviving characters of the franchise are returning for Scream 6, including a few fan-favorite actors from the series’ earlier installments. After a 10-year hiatus, the Scream franchise finally returned to the big screen for Scream (2022), which saw a fitting modern revival of the movies’ best themes, twists, and meta-commentaries, along with some well-crafted homages to legendary director Wes Craven.
