Who are the new 'Scream' cast members? Here's where you know them from
Ghostface is back after more than a decade -- and there are quite a few fresh faces ripe for the killing.
While the "Scream" movies have centered on Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox as the original stars, there are always new additions to the cast. The beloved horror franchise's fifth installment, now in theaters, is no different.
"They were the most welcoming people I've ever had the pleasure to work with," Jack Quaid, one of the newcomers, told "Good Morning America" of working with the iconic trio. "They're all incredible, all three of them. I call them 'The OG Three.' They're so amazing."
The film series, which kicked off in 1996, follows Sidney Prescott (Campbell), Dewey Riley (Arquette) and Gale Weathers (Cox) as they face off against someone -- or someones -- wearing the Ghostface mask time and time again.
Sequels were released in 1997, 2000 and 2011. The 2022 film is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the only people to direct a "Scream" movie aside from Wes Craven, who died in 2015.
The synopsis for the new film reads: "Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past."
