Neve Campbell Returns to Battle the Most Brutal Ghostface Yet in Fiery Scream 7 Trailer

Scream is back with more gory Ghostface goodness.

On Thursday, Oct. 30, Paramount Pictures released the trailer for Scream 7, which sees Neve Campbell reprise her iconic role as Sidney Prescott after missing out 2023’s on Scream VI.

Also reprising their roles in the new installment are Scream veterans Matthew Lillard, David Arquette and Courteney Cox; Cox can be seen joining in on yet another murder mystery in the trailer.

“When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the next target,” an official synopsis reads. “Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.”

Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown reprise their roles from Scream (2022) and Scream VI (2023), additionally, while joining the cast are Isabel May and Joel McHale as Sidney’s daughter and husband Mark Evans, respectively. Scott Foley, who played Roman Bridger in 2000’s Scream 3, is also part of the newest installment.

Rounding out the star-studded cast are Anna Camp, Mark Consuelos, Ethan Embry, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Michelle Randolph and Jimmy Tatro.

Scream creator and original writer Kevin Williamson directs for the first time with Scream 7, following the death of original director Wes Craven in 2015. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett directed Scream VI and 2022’s Scream. The new film is written by Guy Busick with a story by Busick and James Vanderbilt, both of whom also worked on the previous two installments.

Notably, Arquette, 54, Lillard, 55, and Foley, 53, are all back in Scream 7 despite their characters being killed off — for Lillard’s Stu Macher, all the way back in the original 1996 Scream.

Lillard first teased his return as Stu in January, posting a video to his Instagram grid that showed a hand writing out one of his villainous character’s memorable quotes from near the end of the first Scream: “My mom and dad are gonna be soo mad at me!!”

In September, Lillard revealed in a conversation with PEOPLE that the decision to reprise his role as the horror-movie-obsessed accomplice to Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) wasn’t initially a no-brainer.

“I’m nervous, because at this point in my life, the only thing I can do is sort of ruin how people consider Stu,” he admitted. “[Especially] if I come back and I suck or I was lame.”

And while the movie is “a risk that I was excited to take,” Lillard said, “At the same time, I’m nervous to see the outcome. I hope people like it.”

Scream 7 slashes into theaters Feb. 27, 2026.
