The news came two months after her ex-husband David Arquette confirmed that he will be a part of the highly anticipated sequel.
Last week, the 48-year-old actor told Entertainment Tonight that they will have fun on the set, where they met while co-starring on the original Scream 24 years ago.
‘Well, we co-parent,’ said David, who was wed to Courtney from 1999 until 2013 and has one child with her: 16-year-old daughter Coco. ‘So, we’re in touch quite a bit. It’s great.’

Back for more scare: Cox revealed in July she has joined the cast of Scream 5. The Friends veteran shared the news on social media. ‘I can’t wait to see this face again,’ the actress wrote over a clip of a white mask
‘We always love working together,’ admitted David. ‘She’s an incredible actress, so it’ll be fun to bring these characters back to life and see where they’re at.’
Arquette also told The Guardian there will be no tension: ‘No, it’s been 10 years now, so there’s been a lot of healing.’
In May, Arquette confirmed that he was going to reprise his role as Sheriff Dewey Riley for a reboot of his popular Scream movies.
‘I am thrilled to be playing Dewey again and to reunite with my Scream family, old and new,’ Arquette said. ‘Scream has been such a big part of my life, and for both the fans and myself, I look forward to honoring Wes Craven’s legacy.’

Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are directing the reboot.
‘I’m excited to reteam with David and work with Jamie, Guy and Radio Silence on the next ‘Scream,’ Williamson told Variety.
‘Their take on the movie is both original, inventive and honors Wes’ legacy in a wonderful way. Ready Or Not was my favorite horror film of last year and I can’t wait to see what their amazing talents bring to the ‘Scream’ universe. I’m thrilled to be a part of it.’
