Scream 7 Trailer: Neve Campbell Faces New Ghostface Terror

Paramount Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for Scream 7, signaling the much-anticipated return of Neve Campbell as the iconic Sidney Prescott. After her absence in Scream VI, Sidney is back and prepared to confront her fears head-on.

A Challenging Journey

Since its announcement in August 2023, the seventh entry in the slasher franchise has faced a multitude of challenges, including production delays due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and significant casting changes. Despite these obstacles, the Ghostface mask returns alongside a bloody storyline.

Plot Overview

According to the official synopsis:
“When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.”
This narrative maintains the franchise's core theme of survival as Sidney steps into a fierce new role as a mother defending her daughter.

Behind-the-Scenes Changes

The movie has also experienced numerous behind-the-scenes changes. Melissa Barrera, who played Sam Carpenter in previous films, was removed after controversial social media comments, and Jenna Ortega exited due to a conflict with her Netflix series Wednesday. In a surprising twist, Kevin Williamson, the creator of Scream, has returned to direct after the departure of Christopher Landon.

Fresh Faces in the Cast

Despite these setbacks, Scream 7 promises a rich cast including returning characters like Courteney Cox, Mason Gooding, and Jasmin Savoy Brown. Additionally, actors David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, and Scott Foley are set to reprise their deceased roles, adding a nostalgic twist. Newcomers include Isabel May, Celeste O'Connor, Asa Germann, and several more, enriching Woodsboro’s bloody narrative.

A Blend of Nostalgia and Terror

With Williamson leading the way back to Scream’s roots and Campbell reclaiming her role as the ultimate scream queen, this installment offers a dark, personal story where Sidney is not merely surviving but is determined to end Ghostface's reign once and for all.

Scream 7 slashes its way into theaters on February 27, 2026. Get excited!
