Dimension FilmsIn 2011, Craven said that when he started talking to Williamson about going back to Woodsboro, it wasn't for a one-off.
"He had an idea for a new trilogy," the director told Movieweb in a 2011 interview.
In a 2016 Entertainment Tonight interview, Williamson said he was unsure about another trilogy.
"Now without Wes, I feel like you have to sort of answer the questions of how and why, and I don't know how to do it without Wes and I don't know why to do it," he explained.
But writers Guy Busick, James Vanderbilt, and directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett found a way to continue the franchise with 2022's "Scream" and 2023's "Scream VI."
