Courteney Cox will be reprising her role as reporter Gale Weathers in the fifth instalment in the Scream franchise. In an Instagram video post last Friday, the actress said, “I can’t wait to see this face again,” flashed against a photo of the iconic Scream mask.
Cox’s ex-husband, David Arquette, who she met while filming the original 1996 film, will also appear in the movie, once again playing Sheriff Dwight “Dewey” Riley.
“I am thrilled to be playing Dewey again and to reunite with my Scream family, old and new,” he said.
Both Cox and Arquette, who share daughter Coco, 16, have appeared in all of the films in the series. Pending the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, production is hoping to begin this year in Wilmington, North Carolina.
