Thanks to the whodunit nature of the Scream franchise and its devout fanbase, there’s a lengthy history of preserving secrecy to the point where not even the cast knows the killer’s identity. For franchise newcomer, veteran actor Dermot Mulroney, that’s especially the case with Scream VI.
Mulroney is no stranger to horror. Throughout his career, he has amassed an impressive slew of genre credits, including appearances in contemporary horror movies and series like “The Purge,” Umma, Insidious: Chapter 3, and Stoker. His enduring work in the genre meant it was an easy choice to join the cast of Scream VI.
The actor plays Detective Bailey, an NYPD cop investigating the latest string of grisly Ghostface murders.
Bloody Disgusting spoke with Mulroney ahead of the film’s release in theaters on March 10, 2023. The actor revealed just how little he knew about the project before and during production. Mulroney also detailed what that was like while reflecting on his career, especially when connected to early performances like his turn as rookie inspector Reuben Goetz in the 1995 psychological thriller Copycat. Check out the video interview below.
In the brand new movie, “The Scream saga continues with the four survivors of the Ghostface killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.”
Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Scream, Ready or Not) are both back behind the camera for the upcoming Scream VI, written by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick.
