Get ready for another round of hard-hitting journalism and razor-sharp comebacks—Courteney Cox is officially reprising her role as Gale Weathers in Scream 5!

Deadline confirmed the news, and the filmmakers behind the new chapter, Radio Silence, couldn’t contain their excitement:

“We can’t imagine Scream without the iconic Gale Weathers and are so incredibly thrilled and humbled to have the opportunity to work with Courteney. We’re absolute mega fans of her work and we’re so excited to join her in the next chapter of the Scream saga!”

A Legacy Continues

With David Arquette already on board and Neve Campbell in talks, Scream 5 is shaping up to be a true return to form. Cox’s return ensures that one of the franchise’s most relentless and sharp-witted characters will once again take center stage.

Whether she’s dodging Ghostface or delivering one of her signature Gale Weathers Exclusives, her presence in Scream 5 means the stakes are higher than ever.

Coming Soon

Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not), Scream 5 is set to slash its way into theaters in 2021.

How do you think Gale will factor into the new story? Will she be the next target—or the one to finally unmask Ghostface?
