The first trailer for ‘SCREAM 7’ has been released
The first trailer for Scream 7 has been released, and it features the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, who is forced to confront a new Ghostface when her daughter, Tatum (Isabel May), is taken hostage. The trailer also includes glimpses of Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers and Mason Gooding as Chad Meeks-Martin. The film is directed by Kevin Williamson and is scheduled for a February 27, 2026, release.
For nearly three decades, the Scream franchise has seen iconic final girl Sidney Prescott (played by Neve Campbell) outlive the numerous killers that hide behind Ghostface’s mask while attacking Sidney, her friends and anyone else who gets in the way.
The original Scream movie debuted in 1996 and was directed by the late Wes Craven, as were its sequels through 2011’s Scream 4. Seven years after Craven died in 2015, the slasher franchise was revived in 2022 with Scream, directed by Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin. That film honored Craven and saw the return of Campbell, along with original franchise stars Courteney Cox and David Arquette. However, Campbell was absent from the most recent sequel, 2023’s Scream VI.
Also missing from the franchise’s future are Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera, who led the two revival films. They were both set to star in Scream 7 until Barrera was fired in November 2023 due to her social media posts about the Israel-Hamas war. Shortly after being let go, Ortega also exited the project — but voluntarily.
