Sam's boyfriend and neighbor Danny helps the group escape a Ghostface attack.

Additionally, numerous unnamed characters die at the hands of Ghostface. These include the owner of the bodega, as well as several customers who attempt to help the Carpenter sisters after they're attacked on the streets of New York City.

Scream VI certainly features a substantial body count, and a number of the kills are also creative or unusual. In the end, though, the core four — plus Sam's new boyfriend Danny (Josh Segarra) — and legacy characters live to see another day.

Does Kirby die in 'Scream 6'?

Kirby Reed, the sole teenage survivor of the 2011 Woodsboro murders, returns to the Scream franchise as a special agent in the Atlanta office of the FBI. She arrives in NYC after hearing about the murders of Jason and Greg, two students she'd been tracking online. She meets with Detective Bailey, who's threatened by her arrival; nevertheless, they agree to work together.

In the third act, Kirby meets the group at the Ghostface shrine to trap the killer. However, Bailey frames Kirby as the killer, telling Sam she was fired from the FBI for mental health reasons. Kirby then pleads her innocence to the Carpenter sisters before Bailey shoots her and reveals himself, along with Ethan and Quinn, as the Ghostface killers.
