The Scream franchise welcomes back its iconic final girl, Neve Campbell, in the first official trailer for Scream 7.

“Hello, Sidney. Did you miss me?” Ghostface says on the phone. “Nice little town you found, you and your pretty daughter. Reminds me of where we grew up.”

While Ghostface appears to be primarily after Sidney’s daughter, Tatum (Isabel May), Campbell is front and centre, teaching her kid the rules of escaping the infamous killer.

Another franchise veteran to appear in the trailer is Courteney Cox as reporter Gale Weathers, who survived a brutal attack in Scream VI. And while not shown in the trailer, David Arquette is expected to appear in the film, despite his character, Dewey Riley, having been killed off in 2022’s Scream.

Scream 7 is directed by Kevin Williamson, who wrote the script for the original Scream as well as Scream 2 and 4. Also starring in this instalment are Matthew Lillard as Stu, the (spoiler) original co-Ghostface killer, along with Skeet Ulrich as Billy Loomis, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown as Chad and Mindy, and Scott Foley as (spoiler again) Scream 3‘s Ghostface, Roman Bridger. Rounding out the cast are series newcomers Michelle Randolph, Joel McHale, Anna Camp, Mckenna Grace, Ethan Embry, Mark Consuelos, Jimmy Tatro, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann and Sam Rechner.

This project has been fraught with controversy. Star of the revival films Melissa Barrera was fired from appearing in 7 because of her social media posts about the Israel-Hamas war. After her exit, co-star Jenna Ortega also opted to exit the project while Christopher Landon, who was supposed to direct the film, was pushed to leave amid intense fan backlash following Barrera’s firing.

The slasher will land in cinemas from February 27th, 2026. Watch the Scream 7 trailer down below:
