Hayden Panettiere is set to return to the silver screen in “Scream 6,” more than a decade after last starring in the horror film franchise.
The 32-year-old actress will reprise her role as Kirby Reed, a teenager who previously escaped the killer clutch of Ghostface in “Scream 4,” which debuted in 2011 and was directed by Wes Craven.
“Scream 5″ was released in January and followed original cast members Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell and David Arquette as they battled the masked killer alongside a new group of teens in the fictional town of Woodsboro.

An eyewitness told TMZ the argument first started between Panettiere, Hickerson and other patrons inside the hotel bar. According to the report, one person from the other group claimed Hickerson spit on them and a manager kicked everyone out, sparking a brawl in the parking lot.
“We responded to a fight call at 12:18 a.m. Upon the deputies’ arrival, they did not see anyone that was a victim of a crime, nobody came forward saying they were assaulted and everybody was gone prior to their arrival,” a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Digital at the time.

The former “Heroes” star was later seen walking back to the hotel after the altercation, and she apologized to staff, per TMZ.
“While in the restaurant of the Sunset Marquis, Brian Hickerson, who happened to be with Hayden, made a comment to an individual about leaving the waitress a poor tip,” a spokesperson for the actress told Fox News Digital.

“That same individual, along with the group he was with, began badgering and shoving Brian, at which point security pushed everyone outside. Brian was attacked by the group as was Hayden, who, in her best effort, tried to defuse the situation. Hayden was refused the opportunity to provide a statement to the police as she was escorted back inside. She is OK.”
Hickerson was previously arrested for domestic violence after he allegedly assaulted her multiple times between 2019-2020. He is on probation until 2025.
