Prepare to scream: Ghostface is back.

It's been over a decade since Wes Craven's fourth Scream movie premiered in cinemas. And although the horror icon passed in 2015, his Scream franchise is far from dead. In fact, the latest addition is a total relaunch of the series. Here's everything you need to know about the new Scream, which is also known as Scream 5 or Scream 2022. Pocket-lint has even rounded up trailers and details about when you can stream the movie.

Scream 5 (2022): Plot summary

Set 25 years after the original murders in Woodsboro, a new Ghostface is in town going around killing teenagers, and Sidney Prescott must return to uncover the truth. Neve Campbell is actually reprising her role. Even Courteney Cox and David Arquette are back as Gale Weathers and Dewey Riley, which means the nostalgia will surely be off the charts in Scream 5. In fact, the first reviews for this latest installment are absolutely killer.
