Three members on the set of Spyglass Media Group/Paramount’s “Scream 5” have tested positive for Coronavirus. The good news? the production will push on, as the infected set workers were not part of the primary ‘pod’ that includes the principal cast and crew.
The film, directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, has been shooting in Wilmington, North Carolina.
According to Deadline, the affected employees will undergo a quarantine period and further testing, and rigorous contact tracing will also be carried out.
“Scream 5”, due January 14th, 2022, stars Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Jack Quaid, Selena Gomez, Melissa Barrera, Jenna Ortega, Dylan Minnette, Marley Shelton, Kyle Gallner, Mikey Madison, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, and Sonia Ammar.
