Courteney Cox has confirmed her return for the next Scream movie, and teased that filming should be getting underway quite soon.
The Friends star returned to the franchise as reporter Gale Weathers in the long-awaited fifth outing earlier this year, which became a box office hit and received critical acclaim.
With a follow-up now confirmed, Cox revealed in a new interview that she will be back in the fold once again, letting slip that work should begin this summer.

"I got the script yesterday," the star told the Just for Variety podcast. "I haven't read it yet, I just got it […] I'm excited to read it, and I know they're gonna start filming I think in June, in Canada. I don't know if I'm supposed to say anything.
"Let me tell you the killer!" she went on to joke.
Alongside Weathers, Scream saw the return of Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott and David Arquette's Dewey Riley, with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett taking on directing duties.

Confirming the sixth movie last month, studios Paramount and Spyglass said: "We are tremendously grateful to the fans around the world who enthusiastically received our film.
"We can't wait for audiences to see what Radio Silence [directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett], writers Jamie [Vanderbilt] and Guy [Busick] and Project X [Entertainment] have in store for our Woodsboro family."
Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett added: "Working with such a wonderful and talented family of creators – and in the lineage Wes [Craven] and Kevin [Williamson] so expertly built – has been the thrill of a lifetime and we're so excited to bring the next chapter in the Scream saga to life."
Scream is out now in cinemas.
