Read our privacy policy Hayden Panettiere has said returning to the Scream franchise felt like “coming home”. Like going home to a family.” The 33-year-old praised her fellow cast members, including Jenna Ortega and Yellowjackets star Jasmin Savoy Brown, as well as Scream VI’s directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. “They just created a family, just like it was on Scream 4.” Panettiere first played Kirby in 2011’s Scream 4, where the character appeared to be murdered. In a statement, Panettiere and her family revealed Jansen’s cause of death while asking for privacy to mourn their loss, writing: “Jansen’s heart could be seen in his eyes, and his charm in his brilliant, engaging smile; his soul in his masterful and revealing paintings, and the joy of life in his dry wit.” Last year, Panettiere revealed that – following the end of her TV series Nashville – her decision to pause her acting career was partly motivated by a series of personal struggles, including alcoholism and an addiction to opioids.
