Mason, who earned his horror stripes in the Scream franchise, previously touched on the future of Heart Eyes, and whether we could see the killer strike again. He told Entertainment Weekly: ‘I hope so. That’s the goal. That’d be fun. [Would] love to do it again. Any opportunity to work with Olivia is one I’m going to take 10 times out of 10. Josh, as well.’ Heart Eyes is now on Netflix (Picture: Spyglass Media Group, LLC/Christopher Moss)
