Directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, this sixth installment in the series picks up where 2022’s Scream left off—that is, with Ghostface survivors coming face to face with their living nightmare once again despite having packed up and left what they thought would be only the memories of Woodsboro behind. 

With Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Hayden Panettiere, and Courteney Cox all reprising their roles from the previous films and with a plethora of new cast members joining them for Scream VI, this 2023 MTV Movie-Award winning title has plenty of frights left to deliver—especially with D-BOX putting you face to face with the killer himself.

Set in 1956 France, darkness looms and evil festers as the Valak, the demon nun, strikes multiple times and cuts lives short. Sister Irene must once again confront her darkest fears and face off with the demon or sit by and watch as more of her friends lose their lives. 

With haptic feedback immersing you in every moment, you’ll be able to feel Valak and her bone-chilling presence as if she was right there with you. After all, maybe she is—there's only one way to find out. The Nun II will be available for home viewing in the coming weeks!
