Williamson posted a behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram Jan. 9 to mark the start of filming. “I’m not supposed to post about Scream and I hope @spyglassmediagr and @paramountpics will forgive me but when you have one of the best days of your life it’s really hard to keep it to yourself,” Williamson wrote along with the picture. “What an extraordinary day I had working with an amazing and talented cast and crew. They brought their “A” game and had my back every step of the way. I’m so very grateful for this opportunity and to Wes Craven who was on my mind through it all. The profound impact he has had on my life and career is endless. What a day! I can’t wait for tomorrow!”
New cast members also include Isabel May as Sidney’s daughter, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner and Anna Camp.
