Neve Campbell is back as Sidney Prescott in the upcoming Scream VII, and it’s been officially announced today that the seventh installment will hit theaters on February 27, 2026.

Original Scream scribe Kevin Williamson will direct Scream 7. The film, which is currently untitled, was written by Guy Busick from a story by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick.

Courteney Cox is expected to return as Gale Weathers, but hasn’t yet signed on.

The franchise has been mired in controversy in the past several months, with new series leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega both exiting the project. Barrera was fired, while it was subsequently announced that Ortega wouldn’t be returning. At this time, we still don’t know if Jasmin Savoy Brown or Mason Gooding will be returning for Scream 7.

According to Neve Campbell, the upcoming seventh installment will be a return to the franchise’s roots in the sense that Sidney Prescott will be the central character of the movie.
