The 56-year-old Cougar Town star shared the news on social media. 'I can't wait to see this face again,' the actress wrote over a clip of a white mask.

The news came two months after Arquette announced he would also be a part of the highly anticipated sequel.

Two weeks ago, the 48-year-old actor told Entertainment Tonight that he and Cox are looking forward to returning to the set, where they met while first co-starring together in the original Scream 24 years ago.
