In a thrilling update sure to excite horror enthusiasts, Neve Campbell has been confirmed to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott in the upcoming “Scream 7”, with an additional surprise that writer Kevin Williamson is set to direct, marking his directorial debut in the series. The news serves as a beacon of hope for fans, particularly after recent concerns surrounding the franchise’s future following the dismissal of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega’s exit. Despite the uncertainty of whether Sidney, David Arquette’s Dewey Riley (in loving memory), and Courteney Cox’s Gale Weathers would join forces once more, fans can now look forward to the return of at least two key figures. Below is Neve Campbell’s ecstatic Instagram announcement:
Hello Everyone. I’m absolutely thrilled to share this incredible news!!! Sidney Prescott is making her return!!!! Portraying Sidney in the Scream films has always been a delightful honor. My adoration for these movies and their significance in my life is unwavering. It brings me immense joy and pride to announce that I have been respectfully invited to revive Sidney on the big screen, and I’m ecstatic about it!!! What’s even more exciting is that, while it has been my great fortune to craft these films with horror maestro Wes Craven and the exceptionally skilled Matt and Tyler team, I have long fantasized about how extraordinary it would be to work on one of these projects with Kevin Williamson as the director. Now that dream is a reality, as Kevin Williamson is set to direct Scream 7! This franchise is his creation, borne from his ingenious mind. Kevin isn’t just a visionary as an artist but also a cherished friend over many years. To the dedicated Scream fans, I hope this news is as exhilarating for you as it is for me. Can’t wait to be on set, Kevin Williamson
