Scream 7 has finally dropped its first trailer, and it’s one that’s worth the wait, as it marks the return of the franchise’s iconic final girl, Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott, who appeared in every series entry except 2023’s Scream VI.
Directed by Kevin Williamson, scriptwriter for the original 1996 movie, Scream 2 (1997) and Scream 4 (2011), the seventh instalment will follow Prescott’s storyline as a mom, with the trailer pitting Ghostface against both her and her daughter, Tatum (Isabel May), a name seemingly given to honour her friend Tatum, played by Rose McGowan in the original 1996 film, who was murdered by Ghostface.
Also seen in the Scream 7 trailer was Courteney Cox’s Gale Weathers, an investigative journalist and another series staple. Other returning faces include Matthew Lillard’s Stu Macher, Skeet Ulrich as Billy Loomis, Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown as siblings Chad and Mindy, alongside Scott Foley’s Roman Bridger, who was Scream 3‘s Ghostface.
“When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life, her darkest fears are realised as her daughter becomes the next target.” reads the trailer’s description, “Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.
Scream 7 will hit theatres on 27 February 2026.
