Change from Scream 6 To Scream 7 is quite radical. New directors, new actorsWhat exactly is being returned? It's Ghostface and his nemesis Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), that's who. In the first official trailer Scream 7Ghostface finds a new victim, Prescott's daughter Tatum, just as they are building a new life away from Woodsboro. Prescott won't fight him alone; Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) joins her to put an end to Ghostface. “Let’s expose this bastard,” Weathers tells her. Other familiar faces include David Arquette and Matthew Lillard. Tatum eventually comes face to face with the killer as he sets the house on fire. “I'm going to burn it all,” he exclaims.
This is the first look at Scream 7 after years of drama behind the scenes. Actress Melissa Barrera was dismissed from the role of Sam Carpenter in November 2023 for her pro-Palestinian posts. Jenna Ortega, who played her sister Tara, left soon after and later disclosed that due to changes in cast and director, she no longer wanted to appear in the film. Christopher Landon also stepped down as director following Barrera's dismissal.
Scream 7 will be released in theaters on February 27, 2026.
