After her absence in Scream VI, Neve Campbell is returning to end the killing (once again) in a team-up with her daughter in Scream 7, and some familiar faces will make an appearance.
Following the success of Scream VI, the seventh installment was announced in August 2023, and that announcement has finally turned into a first trailer. In the anticipated first official trailer for Scream 7, Neve Campbell reprises her role as Sidney Prescott, and the iconic âHello Sidney,â is heard in the trailer. It will be her first time back in the cast of the slasher film franchise since 2022âs Scream. The first trailer has been released, and it can be seen below, showcasing Prescottâs return with a new character in tow, her daughter Tatum (played by Isabel May).
Scream 7 is directed by Kevin Williamson, who wrote the scripts for the original Scream, Scream 2, and Scream 4. The seventh installment will follow Sidneyâs storyline as a mom. Campbell returns as the lead after being absent in Scream VI, and she wasnât in that film due to an ugly salary dispute. Another returning character to the franchise is the ever-determined reporter Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox), who survived a brutal attack from Ghostface in Scream VI, and is seen in the new trailer briefly.

Also set to reprise their roles in the iconic slasher franchise are co-Ghostface actors, Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich, who played both Stu Macher and Billy Loomis in the first movie. Newcomers to the franchise include Joel McHale, Anna Camp, McKenna Grace, Isabel May, Michelle Randolph, Ethan Embry, Mark Consuelos, Jimmy Tatro, Celeste OâConnor, Asa Germann and Sam Rechner. Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega (who starred as survivors in Scream VI) arenât returning for the seventh installment.
Scream 7 is set to land in theatres on February 27, 2026.


Exciting to hear that Neve Campbell is back for Scream 7! The return of familiar faces always adds to the thrill, and I canât wait to see how the story unfolds. The trailer sounds intense!
Absolutely! Neve’s return definitely brings a nostalgic touch to the franchise. Itâll be interesting to see how her character evolves alongside the new cast and how they all confront Ghostface together.
to see how her character evolves after all these years. Plus, with the new cast members joining, it could introduce some fresh dynamics while still honoring the classic elements we love.
