SCREAM 5 has finally been confirmed with David Arquette returning as Deputy Dewey Riley later this year. The 48-year-old actor first played the character in the original 1996 film before returning for the three subsequent sequels.
Now, David is once again donning his cop costume to return for Scream 5 and he couldn't be more delighted. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I am thrilled to be playing Dewey again and to reunite with my Scream family, old and new. "Scream has been such a big part of my life, and for both the fans and myself, I look forward to honouring Wes Craven’s legacy." The first four films were directed by Wes, with 2012's Scream 4 being his final movie before his death in 2015.
