Plot Summary

Scream 7 is an upcoming 2026 American slasher horror film written and directed by Kevin Williamson, co-written with Guy Busick, and produced by William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein. It is the seventh installment in the long-running Scream franchise and a direct sequel to Scream VI (2023). The film centers on Sidney Prescott (played by Neve Campbell), who has rebuilt a life with her husband Mark Evans (Joel McHale) and their daughter Tatum (Isabel May) in a quiet town — only to find that Ghostface has returned, targeting her family and forcing her back into the nightmare that defined her past. Alongside Sidney, Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) and classic survivors return, joined by familiar faces like Mason Gooding (Chad Meeks-Martin), Jasmin Savoy Brown (Mindy Meeks-Martin), Anna Camp, McKenna Grace, Asa Germann, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Tim Simons, Mark Consuelos, and Jimmy Tatro in ensemble roles. Legacy characters such as Dewey Riley (David Arquette), and even figures from earlier entries — including Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard) and Roman Bridger (Scott Foley) — appear in surprising ways that expand the franchise’s mythology. With cinematography by Ramsey Nickell and a score from returning composer Marco Beltrami, Scream 7 blends long-standing series suspense with new emotional and psychological stakes as Sidney confronts both Ghostface and her own history of trauma. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on February 27, 2026, by Paramount Pictures and is designed for horror fans who appreciate tradition-steeped slasher thrills and character-driven terror.
