Hi All. I’m so excited to announce this news!!! Sidney Prescott is coming back!!!! It’s always been such a blast and an honor to get to play Sidney in the Scream movies. My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me, has never waned. I’m very happy and proud to say I’ve been asked, in the most respectful way, to bring Sidney back to the screen and I couldn’t be more thrilled!!! Well actually I could. While I’ve been so incredibly lucky to make these films with both the master of horror Wes Craven and the wonderfully talented Matt and Tyler team, I’ve dreamt for many years of how amazing it would be to make one of these movies with Kevin Williamson at the helm. And now it’s happening, Kevin Williamson is going to direct Scream 7! This was his baby and it’s his brilliant mind that dreamt up this world. Kevin is not just an inspiration as an artist but has been a dear friend for many years. To the amazing Scream fans, I hope you are as excited as I am. See you on set @kevwilliamson

Radio Silence had intended to revive the Scream franchise with a trilogy focused on Barrera and Ortega’s characters, and believed Abigail could work before a seventh installment, but according to the pair, Spyglass hoped to get the ball rolling sooner than their schedules allowed. “We got exited,” Gillett says, which Bettinelli-Olpin then repeats verbatim with a laugh. Bettinelli-Olpin adds, “We’ll be sad that there’s not going to be an end to the Sam Carpenter story, but in our minds, we designed Scream VI so that the story feels complete.” Regarding Landon walking away, Bettinelli-Olpin shares that he and Gillett “reached out to Chris and just commiserated a little bit.” Barrera herself says about Landon’s departure, “I actually don’t know what happened. He was very excited about it, and he had great ideas for it, so it makes me sad.”

Neve Campbell announced she would not appear in the sixth film because of pay equity issues. So it came as a shock when Campbell announced in early March that she would return for Scream VII. The move put the project back on track after months on life support following Barrera’s firing and the subsequent exit of director Landon, as well as the quiet departure of Jenna Ortega in the spring of last year. Barrera’s supporters on social media saw Campbell’s return as a betrayal. (Campbell’s reps did not respond to a request for comment.) When asked if she and Campbell had spoken about her return, Barrera pauses before declining to answer.

Courteney Cox may be heading back to the “Scream” franchise, as sources tell Variety she is in talks to reprise the role of Gale Weathers in the seventh movie of the slasher series, to be directed by “Scream” creator and writer Kevin Williamson.

The news comes about two weeks after Neve Campbell announced she was coming back as Sidney Prescott after the actor sat out of “Scream 6” due to a salary dispute.
