Scream 7 (2026)

Scream 7 is officially scheduled to hit theaters on February 27, 2026, bringing the long-running slasher franchise back to its roots with original creator Kevin Williamson taking the director's chair. This installment marks a significant creative pivot for the series following the departure of the previous "Core Four" leads, shifting the focus back to the ultimate "Final Girl," Sidney Prescott. The film is expected to be a major cinematic event, notably being the first entry in the franchise to receive a wide release in IMAX, promising a more immersive and intense horror experience than its predecessors. The plot of the seventh film finds Sidney Prescott living a relatively quiet life in the town of Pine Grove, Indiana, where she has been raising her family away from the shadows of Woodsboro. However, this peace is shattered when a new Ghostface killer emerges with a specific and personal vendetta. This time, the stakes are more intimate than ever as the killer targets Sidney’s teenage daughter, Tatum Evans—named in honor of Sidney's late best friend from the original 1996 murders. Forced out of hiding, Sidney must navigate a terrifying game of cat and mouse to protect her children and finally end the cycle of violence that has haunted her for three decades. The cast is led by the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney and Courteney Cox as the resilient Gale Weathers. They are joined by a mix of franchise survivors and high-profile newcomers, including Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding, who reprise their roles as Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin. Isabel May stars as Sidney’s daughter, Tatum, while Joel McHale joins the cast as Sidney’s husband, Mark Evans. The ensemble is rounded out by an impressive list of actors including Mckenna Grace, Anna Camp, Mark Consuelos, Tim Simons, and Ethan Embry, with Roger L. Jackson once again providing the iconic, menacing voice of Ghostface. Production for the film took place in Atlanta throughout early 2025 under the secretive working title Scar Tissue. One of the most talked-about aspects of this sequel is the confirmed return of David Arquette as Dewey Riley and the heavily teased appearance of Matthew Lillard as Stu Macher. While Dewey was killed in the 2022 film, his involvement has sparked intense fan theories regarding flashbacks or halluncinations, while rumors of Stu Macher's survival have reached a fever pitch following the release of the "Legacy" teaser in January 2026. This blend of original legacy characters and a new generation of victims aims to provide a definitive conclusion to the saga. Read More
