Production forScream6 comes after thefifth installment, which stars Cox and returning starsNeve Campbell, andDavid Arquette, debuted at No. 1 at the domestic box office in January.
DuringVarietyinterview, Cox weighed in on the franchise killing off Arquette’s character Dwight “Dewey” Riley in the fifth installment. (Cox and Arquette were married from 1999 to 2013 and share daughter Coco, 17.)
“It was sad because Dewey is such a beloved character and he’s so goofy,” said Cox. “I thought he brought such a comedic twist to the whole franchise. I think that was a downer.”
“We are tremendously grateful to the fans around the world who enthusiastically received our film,” the studios said in the statement. “We can’t wait for audiences to see what Radio Silence, writers Jamie & Guy and Project X have in store for our Woodsboro family.”
Cox also stars in the horror comedyShining Valethat premiered March 6.
