Melissa Barrera confirms her next project

Actress Melissa Barrera recently discussed her upcoming projects. So naturally, the Scream franchise had to crop up since she and Jenna Ortega have taken the helm of Paramount’s latest additions as sisters Sam and Tara Carpenter, respectively, reports Collider.

Collider’s own Perri Nemiroff sat down with the actress at Toronto’s International Film Festival to talk with her about her starring role in Carmen. Barrera gave enthusiastic insight into the switch from a small-town slaughter to big city stalking, most notably suggesting the next film will be “...20 times more mortifying.” Now, when asked about the sixth instalment is place on the Scream timeline, Barrera was once again happy to share with the franchise’s sleuthing fans, which she described as “the smartest fandom.”

During an interview with Deadline she was asked, if Scream 6 is set after a long period of time has passed since the ending of the fifth film which she responded saying, “No, it’s not at all. It’s like almost directly after the last one. Basically, the amount of time that has passed between one movie and the other is the amount of time that has passed in, you know, Scream time.”

Scream 6 is set for theatrical release on March 31, 2023.
