How to watch Scream 6 online
Watch Scream 6: preview
Scream VI lit up the box-office this year to become the franchise’s highest-grossing entry. It’s testament to Wes Craven’s original 1996 movie and its blend of witty meta commentary and horror movie frights: a formula which sequel directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett honor, while supercharging it with bloody, muscular set-pieces and franchise fan service. Follow Ghostface on his latest rampage as we break down below how to watch Scream 6 online now.
A year after the Woodsboro legacy killings, the “core four” - Sam (Melissa Barrera), half-sister Tara (Jenna Ortega), and Mindy and her twin brother Chad (Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding) – have upped sticks to find a sense of normalcy in New York. But when the masks of former Ghostface killers turn up at the scene of several violent murders, it’s not long before Sam and her friends are dodging Ghostface’s blade once again.
Fans of the series shouldn't be disappointed. It’s intensely gory as the killer - killers? - slice the cast up like deli pastrami, and there are plenty of bravura suspense sequences too, including our beleaguered heroes getting trapped on a train packed with Halloween revellers – a dozen of them in Ghostface regalia – and a nail-biting chase over a ladder suspended between two high-rise buildings.
As Mindy explains, in a franchise, no one is safe: especially not legacy characters like the gutsy Gale Weathers (Courtney Cox), or film buff Kirby (Hayden Panettiere), returning to the series after her brutal – but clearly not deadly – assault in Scream 4 (2011).
So: don’t open the door. And don’t answer the phone. Watch Scream 6 online instead with the following guide and stream the hit horror film now, exclusively on Paramount Plus in the US.
