A hate-filled masked figure resurfaces in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has tried to rebuild her life. And this time… It’s personal. Her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the next target of Ghostface. Now Sidney must confront the horrors of her past while fighting to protect her family from the nightmare that won’t stay dead. Welcome to Scream 7.
Directed and co-written by original Scream creator Kevin Williamson, this seventh installment brings Sidney back into the spotlight — bloodied, battle-worn, and ready for one final fight. At the trailer’s chilling climax, a familiar voice echoes: “This is gonna be fun.” The signature line from the original belongs to none other than Matthew Lillard’s Stu Macher, who was supposedly killed in 1996’s Scream. His comeback is real.
Stu’s return raises a tidal wave of questions: how did he survive that TV crash, and what role will he play in the new massacre? Earlier films have toyed with the idea of legacy characters returning as hallucinations or ghosts; now it looks like ‘death’ might be optional in Woodsboro. Watch below:
Also back: Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, David Arquette as Dewey Riley — yes, despite his character’s on-screen demise. Scott Foley is also reportedly involved. New blood joins the fight too: Isabel May plays Sidney’s daughter, and Joel McHale is rumored as her husband.
Every slasher trope is ready to resurface: the whisper in the dark, the phone call nobody should answer, the shadow mask looming. But the heart of Scream 7 is bigger — it digs into legacy, trauma, and the relentless cycle of horror that made Sidney a survivor in the first place. Ghostface just won’t stay dead, and neither will the memories that fuel the fear.
