The iconic ‘Scream’ franchise returns with original star Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, who must face off against a new Ghostface targeting her teenage daughter (Isabel May) in the quiet town she now calls home. The new trailer for ‘Scream 7′ promises a return to the series’ roots, featuring intense cat-and-mouse sequences and the return of beloved characters, including Courteney Cox’s Gale Weathers and Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown as Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin, while teasing what appears to be the return of original cast member Matthew Lillard.

This is the first film in the series directed by Kevin Williamson, who wrote the original ‘Scream’ (1996), directed by horror legend Wes Craven (‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’). Williamson’s only other directorial credit is the 1999 dark comedy thriller ‘Teaching Mrs. Tingle.’
‘Scream 7’ sees Campbell returning to the role that launched her career, following her absence from ‘Scream VI,’ while introducing rising star Isabel May (“1883”) as Sidney’s daughter. The ensemble cast includes returning player David Arquette as Dewey Riley, alongside newcomers Anna Camp (‘Pitch Perfect’), Joel McHale (“Community”), and Mckenna Grace (‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’). Not appearing in the sequel are Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who led the previous two films in the franchise.
‘Scream 7’ slashes its way exclusively into theaters on February 27, 2026.
