Ghostface heads to New York City in Scream VI teaser trailer

If there’s one thing the Scream franchise has taught, it’s that Ghostface will live on. Even if one person dies in the costume, someone else will inevitably take up the mantle and become a killer. In the teaser trailer for Scream VI, Ghostface has found a new place to terrorize: New York City.

As the poster reads, “New York. New Rules.” After the events of Scream, also known as Scream V, sisters Sam (Melissa Barrera) and Tara (Wednesday‘s Jenna Ortega) leave Woodsboro in favor of the Big Apple to start a new life. The girls are joined by twins Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Chad (Mason Gooding) Meek-Martin, who all survived the recent Woodsboro murders at the hands of Ghostface. The quartet will soon learn that there’s no hiding from Ghostface as the masked murderer confronts the group on the New York City subway in the teaser trailer.

Scream VI marks the return of Courteney Cox as television reporter Gale Weathers and Hayden Panettiere as Kirby, a survivor of the Ghostface killings in Scream IV. New cast members joining the franchise include Samara Weaving, Henry Czerny, Tony Revolori, Jack Champion, Liana Liberato, Devyn Nekoda, Josh Segarra, and Dermot Mulroney. Neve Campbell, who starred as the iconic final girl, Sidney Prescott, will not return for the sixth film due to contract complications.

Scream VI is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett from a script written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick. These four men worked in the same capacity on the previous film, 2022’s Scream, which grossed $140 million and received positive reviews, with many calling it the best sequel in the franchise.

Scream star thinks the horror franchise has gotten too violent
Matthew Lillard smirks in a video store in Scream.

The Scream franchise has proven to be one of the horror genre's most enduring properties. In the nearly 30 years since it began, the series has produced six films and a spinoff TV show that lasted three seasons on MTV. Across its various sequels and spinoffs, the franchise hasn't deviated all that much from its original formula of meta jokes, third-act twists, and gruesome kills, either. It has instead tried to consistently elevate the stakes of its stories and the violence of its set pieces.

One of the franchise's original stars, however, seems to think that it went a little too far in its most recent outing. Stu Macher actor Matthew Lillard said as much in an interview with GamesRadar, in which he shared his opinion on the franchise's recent Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett-directed sequels (2022's Scream and 2023's Scream VI) and the news that Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson will be returning to direct the franchise's forthcoming seventh film installment.

30 years ago, New York City went dark and NBC’s Must See TV shined brightly
5 friends light candles in Friends.

"Crossover" is a word that has somehow lost its power in recent years. The dawn of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as an entertainment machine and even stuff like the Super Smash Bros. Brothers franchise have sort of deprived this ambitious word of the impact it once had. Seeing multiple characters from different origins coming together isn't necessarily as exciting as it once was -- even if an Avengers: Endgame still has the power to fire us up. Crossovers weren't exactly novel in '90s television either, especially within shows of the same network. Back in 1994, though, a particularly impressive stunt aired on prime-time television, as NBC sought to use every sitcom in its "Must See TV" Thursday lineup to create something that was even more elusive back then, even among the same network's titles: synergy.

Lorne Michaels is in over his head in new Saturday Night trailer
A man stares at a post-it board.

It's only live television. What could go wrong? For Lorne Michaels, literally everything. The latest trailer for Sony's Saturday Night chronicles the chaotic first episode of Saturday Night Live.

October 11, 1975. It's 10 p.m. ET, and Saturday Night Live will air its first show in 90 minutes. Michaels (Gabriel LaBelle) is scrambling to put the finishing touches on his sketch show. To say things get chaotic would be an understatement. The set falls apart, the cast disappears, and the crew rebels against Michaels. NBC executive Dick Ebersol (Cooper Hoffman) believes the network wants the show to fail.
