Neve Campbell who is another mainstay of the Scream franchise will also be returning for the fifth movie which is due out in 2022.

David and Courteney co-starred in all four Scream movies, the first of which bowed in 1996 and the most recent of which was released in 2011.

The couple went public with their separation in October 2010, a month after Scream 4 wrapped filming and half a year before it bowed in theaters.

Within the next two years, the divorce was finalized, and Courteney has spent roughly the past half-decade engaged to Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid.

On his birthday in July she revealed that they had been self-isolating apart for 133 days, with her in stuck Los Angeles and him hunkering down in London.
