Back in 1996 the late horror icon Wes Craven teamed up with writer Kevin Williamson to change the slasher genre with Scream. Since then the series has spawned 3 sequels in 1997, 2000 and 2011 as well as a TV series that ran for 3 seasons before kicking off a reboot/sequel with Scream in 2022 and Scream VI in 2023. The original planned 7th film has gone through numerous issues with casting drama and directors leaving the project.

​

Kevin Williamson himself eventually stepped into the director’s chair for the new film and is also bringing back series star Neve Campbell once again who sat out the last installment after numerous issues. The next chapter features both returning and new cast including Courteney Cox, Isabel May, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Asa Germann, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Ethan Embry, Tim Simons and Mark Consuelos.

​

Scream 7 follows Sidney Prescott who has built a new life, but her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target when a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.
