RUMOR: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Star To Join Scream 7

As a devoted fan who has lived through the chilling escapades of the “Scream” franchise since its inception, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming seventh installment! The return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott and the addition of talented young actress McKenna Grace to portray Sidney’s daughter is a perfect blend of old and new.

The “Scream” movie series, renowned for its success, is set to release its seventh installment. Among the returning cast members, one of the original characters will make an appearance once more. Additionally, a fresh new character will be introduced to the group in this upcoming film.

The confirmation of Scream 7 came in mid-2023, following the success of Scream 6. One notable difference for the next film is that Christopher Landon took over as director from Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. However, in December 2023, Landon decided to step away from the project. In March 2024, it was made official that Neve Campbell, who had previously declined participation due to a payment disagreement, would rejoin the cast for Scream 7. Additionally, Kevin Williamson, who wrote the scripts for Scream, Scream 2, and Scream 4, was announced as the new director for this upcoming installment. Fans can expect to see some fresh faces and possibly new characters in Scream 7.

Based on information shared by movie insider Daniel Richtman through Patreon, McKenna Grace, who stars in the movie “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire“, is also set to appear in “Scream 7”. In this new film, she will play Tatum, the eldest daughter of Sidney Prescott (Campbell). Previous reports suggest that “Scream 7” will feature two main storylines. One focuses on Sid and her neighborhood friends, while the second revolves around Sid’s daughter Taylor (who might be a codename) and her friends, each group dealing with Ghostface. It remains undecided whether Taylor is Tatum or another one of Sidney’s daughters in this context.

In March, it was confirmed that Sidney Prescott will reappear in the “Scream” franchise for another film, with Courteney Cox returning as Gale Weathers. This exciting news was shared by Jamie Lee Curtis on Instagram, along with a script photo and an enthusiastic message about her character’s return to the series. The upcoming movie may delve into Sidney’s family dynamics, given that she has daughters, and Gale seems to have survived the events of “Scream 6” only to face new challenges from Ghostface. Additionally, Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, and Jenna Ortega are expected to reprise their roles in the next installment of the “Scream” series.

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled to see Campbell reprising her role in the franchise. It’s long awaited, and it feels fantastic to have Sidney Prescott back on screen again. The upcoming movie promises an intriguing twist with Sidney being a mother, something we haven’t seen before.

Scream 7 will hit theaters on February 27, 2026.
