The official trailer for Scream 7 has arrived, bringing back Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott in a chilling new chapter that introduces her daughter and promises more suspense, nostalgia, and bloodshed than ever before.
The wait is finally over — the official trailer for Scream 7 is out, and horror fans everywhere are in for a thrilling ride. Paramount Pictures has dropped the long-anticipated teaser, marking the triumphant return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, the fearless heroine who defined the iconic slasher saga. Packed with mystery, emotional tension, and shocking twists, this installment looks set to raise the stakes higher than ever.
After missing from Scream VI due to salary disagreements, Campbell’s return feels like a full-circle moment for the franchise. The trailer opens on a familiar yet spine-chilling note — the haunting voice of Ghostface whispering, “Hello, Sidney. Did you miss me?” That single line instantly revives the essence of the classic Scream films. But this time, the killer’s threat hits closer to home, as Ghostface targets Sidney’s daughter, Tatum Prescott, portrayed by Isabel May.

This sequel takes the story in a new emotional direction, showing Sidney not just as a survivor, but as a mother determined to protect her child from the nightmare she’s battled for decades. When Tatum finds herself in the killer’s crosshairs, she decides to fight back — inspired by her mother’s resilience. The film blends intense slasher terror with a deeper psychological struggle, exploring how trauma and legacy intertwine across generations.
Returning once again is Courteney Cox as investigative journalist Gale Weathers, still recovering from the brutal events of Scream VI. In one standout moment, Gale joins forces with Sidney, declaring, “Let’s unmask this fucker.” Her fiery resolve suggests fans can expect another fierce face-off with Ghostface.
Although not seen in the trailer, rumors hint that David Arquette’s beloved character Dewey Riley might appear in flashbacks — a nostalgic nod to the series’ roots despite his death in Scream (2022).
For the first time in franchise history, Kevin Williamson — the writer behind Scream, Scream 2, and Scream 4 — steps into the director’s chair. This return to the creative helm promises to honor the original tone while evolving the series for a new era of horror fans.
The ensemble cast is stacked with familiar and fresh faces. Original stars Matthew Lillard (Stu Macher), Skeet Ulrich (Billy Loomis), and Scott Foley (Roman Bridger) make their long-awaited comebacks. Meanwhile, new-generation survivors Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown reprise their roles as siblings Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin. They’re joined by newcomers Joel McHale, Anna Camp, McKenna Grace, Michelle Randolph, and Mark Consuelos, adding new energy to the blood-soaked legacy.
Williamson recently teased that Scream 7 will be darker, smarter, and far more brutal than its predecessors — but he assured fans that Sidney’s story will finally find peace. “She’s endured so much pain. To deny her a happy ending would be cruel — even sacrilegious,” he told readers in Your Favorite Scary Movie, the definitive behind-the-scenes Scream chronicle.
The film’s screenplay is penned by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, known for revitalizing the series with Scream (2022) and Scream VI. Executive producers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella of Radio Silence return to oversee the project, while composer Marco Beltrami brings back his signature eerie score that defined the franchise’s sound.
With its chilling new storyline, returning fan favorites, and emotional depth, Scream 7 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated horror releases of the decade. Fans can expect a brutal mix of nostalgia and fresh fear when Ghostface slashes back into theaters on February 27, 2026.
