Scream 7's Filming Location Hints At Kirby's Return Alongside The Cult Of Ghostface

Highlights

  • Kirby Reed might return as an FBI agent in Scream 7 with the Ghostface killings possibly occurring in Atlanta.
  • Atlanta’s connection to Scream 6 characters hints at a possible Cult of Ghostface hub in Scream 7.
  • Kirby could help Sidney and Gale take down the Cult of Ghostface in a final girl team-up or be the opening kill scene.

As a seasoned Scream franchise enthusiast who has been following this slasher series since its inception, I am thrilled to see that Scream 7 will be filmed in Atlanta, Georgia. The city’s connection to the Scream universe through Kirby Reed’s FBI field office and the hints of a possible Cult of Ghostface hub have me intrigued.

The upcoming movie, “Scream 7“, is set to start filming in Atlanta, Georgia, from December 2024. Given that some aspects of “Scream 6” were connected to Atlanta, it’s intriguing as a location for “Scream 7“. However, it doesn’t guarantee that the movie will be set in Atlanta, since many Hollywood productions prefer filming there. If it does happen to be set there, it would align with past connections. Notably, the beloved character, Kirby Reed, was an FBI agent in “Scream 6“, and her field office was based in Atlanta. This could suggest a possible return for Kirby in “Scream 7“, with the Ghostface killings potentially occurring within her jurisdiction.

As a die-hard fan, I’m excited about the possibility that Scream 6 might hint at something intriguing for Scream 7. The opening sequence seems to suggest that Ghostface killers Jason Carvey and Greg Bruckner shared a past as middle school classmates in Atlanta. This could potentially tie into Atlanta serving as the central hub of a Cult of Ghostface in the next installment.

Scream 7 Could Feature Kirby Reed At Her FBI Atlanta Field Office When The Ghostface Murders Start Up Again

Scream 7's Filming Location Hints At Kirby's Return Alongside The Cult Of Ghostface

At a recent fan convention, Hayden Panettiere expressed her hope to reprise her role as Kirby Reed in Scream 7, as reported by Beyond The Mask’s YouTube video. However, it’s only Neve Campbell who has been officially confirmed for the sixth sequel. There are whispers that Kirby might instead star in a standalone movie or TV series rather than being part of Scream 7. Yet, the news about Atlanta, Georgia being the filming location for Scream 7 could imply that Kirby might be present in the new movie since her FBI field office is located there.

It’s possible that Scream 7 is filming in Atlanta, Georgia, due to its popularity and cost-effectiveness, with Spyglass Media being budget-conscious in production. However, it’s hard not to see a connection between the repeated references to Atlanta in Scream 6 regarding Kirby and the Ghostface cult. Nevertheless, given that Scream 7 may disregard Scream 6, Atlanta might not hold any significance at all.

In the upcoming movie, Scream 7, there’s a strong possibility that the Ghostface cult will be a significant element, hinted at in Scream 6. The connection between the Ghostface killers, Jason and Greg, who are based in Atlanta, suggests that FBI Agent Kirby Reed might have been investigating them before they relocated to New York City for their studies at Blackmore University. This isn’t a coincidence that can be easily overlooked.

Kirby Might Team Up With Sidney And Gale To Defeat The Cult Of Ghostface Or Be Killed Off

In the potential scenario for Scream 7, Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers might join forces as they confront a menacing Cult of Ghostface. However, they may require assistance, and given that Kirby has already survived not one but two encounters with Ghostface in Scream 4 and Scream 6, she could be the ideal ally to aid them in their fight. Since filming for Scream 7 is also taking place in Atlanta, Kirby might be conveniently available to lend a hand as Sidney and Gale wage war against the Cult of Ghostface.

As a long-time fan of the Scream franchise, I have always been intrigued by the character of Kirby Reed, played by Hayden Panettiere. Given my deep understanding and appreciation for the series, I believe that even if her role in Scream 7 is limited to a brief appearance, it could serve as a powerful setup for a potential Kirby spin-off series.

As a longtime fan of the “Scream” franchise, I’ve been pondering about where they might set the next installment, “Scream 7”. Given that the trilogy mirrors the original and the third movie took place in Hollywood while filming a movie, it seems fitting that “Scream 7” could be filmed in Atlanta during the production of a miniseries. After all, with an ever-growing list of movies and TV shows being shot there, it’s only natural to consider this vibrant city as a potential location.

It’s quite intriguing to speculate that Kirby might reappear in a way reminiscent of Cotton Weary’s return in Scream 3. Just as Cotton Weary resurfaced in Scream 2, Kirby played a crucial role in the final act of her second movie, Scream 6. If Kirby were to be killed off in Scream 7, it would maintain this franchise tradition and instantly establish tension for the film. When filming for Scream 7 starts in Atlanta, Georgia in December 2024, we can expect further clues to reveal whether the story will indeed unfold in this city.
