Scream 5 title and release date info revealed

Scream writer/creator Kevin Williamson has revealed the title and the release date for the highly anticipated fifth film in the franchise.

Eschewing the franchise’s previous numbering system, the new film will simply be titled…Scream, and is scheduled to hit theatres on January 14, 2022.

“That’s a wrap on Scream, which I’m excited to announce is the official title of the next film!” executive producer Williamson tweeted today. “Nearly 25 years ago, when I wrote Scream and Wes Craven brought it to life, I could not have imagined the lasting impact it would have on you, the fans.”


I’m excited for you to return to Woodsboro and get really scared again,” Williamson continues. “I believe Wes would’ve been so proud of the film that Matt and Tyler are making. I’m thrilled to be reunited with Neve, Courteney, David and Marley, and to be working alongside a new filmmaking team and incredible cast of newcomers that have come together to continue Wes’s legacy with the upcoming relaunch of the franchise that I hold so dear to my heart. See you in theatres January 2022.”

The new film brings back franchise favourites including Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette, and is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the team behind last year’s wildly entertaining action-horror hybrid Ready or Not.

Wes Craven directed 1996’s Scream, a smash meta-horror slasher that reinvented the genre for a new generation of audiences. The arrival of the upcoming Scream will mark the first entry in the franchise since 2011’s Scream 4.

Sony will release Scream into theatres on January 14, 2022.
