Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

During the premiere of Scream VI (2023), co-director Matt Bettinelli-Olpin said: "We want to be watching Scream movies whether we're involved or not for the rest of our lives."[1] Both Bettinelli-Olpin and co-director Tyler Gillett previously expressed interest in December 2022 to bring Neve Campbell's Sidney Prescott in further sequels after Campbell's declining to return due to a pay dispute with the Scream (2022) and Scream VI producers.[2]

In August 2023, Bettinelliu-Olpin and Gillett exited the project due to scheduling conflicts with the untitled Universal Monsters film production, later entitled Abigail (2024). Christopher Landon was hired in their place.[3] That same month, pre-production was suspended due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[4] On November 21 2023, it was reported that Melissa Barrera had been fired from Scream VII due to comments about the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[5][6] The following day, Deadline reported that Jenna Ortega would not reprise the role of Tara Carpenter due to scheduling conflicts with Wednesday.[7] It was then reported that the film would be going through a creative retooling with the intention on bringing back other actors from the franchise like Campbell and Patrick Dempsey.[8] In December 2023, Landon announced that he had officially exited the film weeks ago.[9]

In March 2024, Campbell wrote on her Instagram that she would return as Sidney. She also confirmed that Kevin Williamson, writer and producer of previous Scream films, would direct from a script by Guy Busick (based on a story by Busick and James Vanderbilt).[10] Later that month, Courteney Cox was in talks to reprise her role as Gale Weathers.[11]
