Summary

  • Scream 7 filming begins with Kevin Williamson directing, creating excitement for fans.
  • Plot details for Scream 7 are vague, but casting hints at a Prescott family connection to Ghostface’s next killing spree.
  • Fan concerns about the film’s production process and potential quality may impact Scream 7’s reception upon release.

The filming for Scream 7 has officially begun, and its director, Kevin Williamson, shared a fresh glimpse from the set as a celebration.

The production of Scream 7 has faced a rocky path. Following the release of its predecessor, it was announced that Christopher Landon would direct, while Messlissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega were set to resume their roles as Sam and Tara Carpenter respectively. However, after Barrera’s dismissal from Scream 7 due to social media posts perceived as anti-Semitic by Spyglass Media (a claim contested by Barrera and her supporters), and Ortega’s departure due to scheduling conflicts and salary disagreements, the film encountered difficulties. The project is now moving forward with Scream franchise creator Kevin Williamson returning to direct, and Neve Campbell reprising her character Sidney Prescott after sitting out the sixth installment.

Filming for Scream 7 has begun, and director Williamson shared a sneak peek behind-the-scenes on Instagram. The photo showcases the updated Scream 7 logo, adorned with more blood splatter than in past films. In his caption, Williamson hinted he wasn’t supposed to reveal anything about Scream 7 but couldn’t resist sharing his excitement. He praised the cast and crew for their dedication and thanked them for the chance to lead this project. Throughout the day, director Wes Craven, who helmed the first four Scream films before passing away in 2015, was on Williamson’s mind. “The impact he had on my life and career is immeasurable,” Williamson expressed. “What a day! I can hardly wait for what tomorrow brings!

Details about the plot of Scream 7 are scant, but recent cast additions offer hints about what to anticipate when Ghostface resurfaces. Actress Isabella May has been cast as Sidney Prescott’s daughter in Scream 7, and shortly after, McKenna Grace joined the film. Although it was speculated that Grace would play Sidney’s daughter initially, it is now thought that May might have taken on that role instead. However, there are also rumors that both actresses could portray Sidney’s daughters in the movie, implying that Ghostface’s rampage could involve the Prescott family.

There’s been some buzz among fans about the upcoming movie “Scream 7”. Some feel that Barrera’s dismissal was unnecessary, and though the calls for a boycott have died down, they might resurface as the film is being made or approaches its release. Additionally, some fans are worried about the clutter of characters from previous films alongside new actors in “Scream 7”, fearing it could turn into a chaotic movie. However, only time will tell if these concerns are valid when “Scream 7” hits the cinemas.

Scream 7 is scheduled to be released in theaters on February 27, 2026.
