‘SCREAM 7’: EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE SEQUEL SO FAR


THE FILM JUST LOST ITS 3RD MAIN ACTOR AND IT'S BARELY IN PRODUCTION.

By Kimberly TerasakiNov 22nd, 2023, 1:47 pm

Scream 7 is—as the title suggests—the seventh film in the Scream franchise and
the third in Paramount’s “requel” trilogy. The previous two Scream movies have
had an incredibly quick turnaround with little more than a year between the two:
Scream (a.k.a. Scream 5) released in January 2022 and Scream 6 released in March
2023. However, with the WGA strike only recently resolved and the SAG-AFTRA
strike still ongoing, when can we expect the next film in the franchise?




WHEN WILL SCREAM 7 HIT THEATERS?

Late 2024 is a likely release date for Scream 7 at this point as the film was
not in production when the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes began, though if the AMPTP
continues to stonewall, then the film will likely be pushed back to 2025.

Christopher Landon has reportedly taken over directing duties from Matt
Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (the duo also known as Radio Silence). Landon
is best known for writing and directing horror comedies like the Happy Death Day
movies and 2020’s Freaky.




WHO’S IN SCREAM 7?

(Paramount Pictures)

Another major concern is which actors in the iconic cast will be returning for
the seventh film.

Courteney Cox is likely confirmed, as she plays fan-favorite character Gale
Weathers and executive produces the Paramount Scream films. Jasmin Savoy Brown
and Mason Gooding are also likely to return after barely surviving the previous
two films and Hayden Panettiere may return once more as FBI Agent Kirby Reed.



However, three of the Scream franchise’s major actors have been fired / will not
be returning for the seventh film.

Melissa Barrera has been controversially fired from Scream 7. While Spyglass
says that she was fired for anti-Semitic hate speech, many fans say that Barrera
is being punished for public social media posts in support of Palestine.



Neve Campbell didn’t appear in Scream 6 due to the studio not wanting to pay her
fairly for her contributions to the movie. With the SAG-AFTRA strike showing the
many flaws in how studios treat actors, Spyglass / Paramount may continue to
refuse Campbell’s demands and make Scream (2022) her final film in the
franchise.

Jenna Ortega’s schedule has reportedly been filled by other upcoming films and
TV shows, including Beetlejuice 2 and Wednesday season 2. Ortega has now
confirmed that she will not be returning for Scream 7.



Ironically, scheduling conflicts were major roadblocks to Scream 3’s production
and led to series writer Kevin Williamson dropping out of writing the film and
Neve Campbell not being able to appear with the rest of the cast for most of the
film.


WHAT IS SCREAM 7 ABOUT?

(Dimension Films)


There are certain rules to creating the plot of a Scream movie, and the new
series being a requel (that’s reboot and sequel) makes it especially likely that
we will see certain plot points return. Given that Scream (2022) was a riff on
Scream (1996), and Scream 6 was a riff on Scream 2 (1997), Scream 7 will likely
continue this trend and have the plot reference Scream 3.

Scream 3 sees Sidney Prescott having isolated herself from friends and family as
a way of dealing with her trauma, only for the killer to draw her back out and
reveal themselves to be a long-lost relative—in this case, her half-brother
Roman Bridger.



The Scream requels have already explored the negative and positive aspects of
family; Sam being the daughter of Billy Loomis has ruined her life in so many
ways, but her relationship with her half-sister Tara is still strong.

If they want to have the killer be a secret family member, there are many routes
the series could go. They could give Billy Loomis another secret child. They
could give Stu Macher or another previous Ghostface killer a secret child. Or
they could use the chance to introduce either Sam and Tara’s mother or
(step)father as the killer. Sam mentioned in Scream 6 that neither sister was on
speaking terms with their mother and that they hadn’t seen their father since he
left in 2011. However, given that Barrera and Ortega are not returning, this
plotline is now unlikely.

Scream 3 also follows the cast of Stab 3 (the movie within a movie that is based
on the “real” Ghostface killings) as they are systematically picked off one by
one, with the killer supposedly targeting them in the order in which they die in
the Stab script. Given how much Scream (2022) and Scream 6 have referenced the
Stab movies, it would be fitting to bring it full circle and have the requel
bring new life to the Stab franchise, just as the killers of 2022’s Scream
wanted.
