Sidney Prescott returns to face Ghostface in Scream 7 — the franchise’s most personal chapter yet
The horror world is buzzing as Paramount and Spyglass drop the official trailer for Scream 7, confirming the return of franchise icon Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott. The film is set to hit theaters on February 27, 2026, and promises to be the most emotionally charged installment yet in the legendary Scream franchise.
In Scream 7, Sidney has built a quiet life away from the chaos of Woodsboro. But peace is short-lived. A new Ghostface killer emerges in her town, targeting her daughter, played by Isabel May. The trailer teases a chilling showdown as Sidney must confront her past and protect her family from a familiar nightmare.
Kevin Williamson, the original writer of Scream (1996), returns to direct this chapter, co-writing the script with Guy Busick. The story is crafted by James Vanderbilt and Busick, the duo behind Scream VI, which grossed over $166.6 million globally. Williamson’s return marks a full-circle moment for the franchise, bringing back the emotional depth and meta-horror edge that defined its legacy.
The cast includes returning favorite Courteney Cox, along with Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, and others. With a blend of legacy characters and fresh faces, Scream 7 aims to bridge generations of horror fans.
The trailer’s release has reignited fan excitement, especially with Campbell’s long-awaited return. Her absence from Scream VI was felt deeply, and her comeback signals a shift toward closure and reckoning. The stakes are higher, the kills more brutal, and the emotional weight heavier than ever.
As horror continues its box office dominance, Scream 7 positions itself as a major 2026 release. With Neve Campbell, Ghostface, and Kevin Williamson back in action, the franchise is poised to deliver a terrifying and nostalgic experience.
