Horror fans are just less than a month away from the release of the hotly anticipated Scream VI. The latest installment has been having a lot of fun with its marketing campaign thus far, with the central location New York City being one of the film’s killer appeals. Ghostface is turning the famous city’s streets blood-red, but there’s one particular survivor looking to put an end to the slasher’s reign of terror. That would be Kirby Reed, played once again by Hayden Panettiere. Up until this point, the sixth installment’s plot has been kept pretty close to Ghostface’s bulletproof vest, including Kirby’s role. However, the latest TV spot for Scream VI teases a bit more of the fan-favorite character’s quest in the film.
While the new 30-second TV Spot mostly contains the college dorm and convenience store footage we have seen before, the teaser opens with new dialogue of Kirby telling Detective Bailey, played by Dermot Mulroney, that she’s been investigating Ghostface attacks. This then cuts to a new scene of Bailey questioning Sam (Melissa Barrera) and Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega) if there’s anyone who wants to “target” them. Tara eerily replies, “Not anyone who’s still alive.” There’s also an interesting shot of a distressed Tara looking like she’s driving a knife into someone off-screen.

While there’s so much we still don’t know about the plot of Scream VI, the film will take place after the events of SCREAM and sees Sam and Tara, along with fellow survivors Chad (Mason Gooding) and Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown), in NYC. The latter three characters are trying to go to college when the new Ghostface killings start up again. This is how they get tangled up with Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) once again and Kirby for the first time.
