Sharpen your knives and mark your diaries, guys, because we finally have a release date for Scream VII.
Taking to social media, star Neve Campbell, who returns as Sidney Prescott, and director and creator of the series, Kevin Williamson shared the same post, below, revealing that Ghostface will be back doing what he does best on Friday, February 27, 2026.
Not a lot is known about the new installment in the franchise except that Williamson is directing the franchise he created for the first time and campbell is returning as Sidney, the girl who started that whole bloody affair. Courtenay Cox is also expected to return, despite putting some doubt on it last week.
Word is the sequel will be a proper legacy story and will bring back character’s from sidney’s past… but who is still to be revealed.

Now, the word is that the new movie is planned as the beginning of a new trilogy built around Sidney and her family made up of Det Mark Kincaid, played by Patrick Dempsey and their now grown-up kids; the new movies will have a bit of a time jump, allowing her kids to be grown enough to be in the middle of the action – honestly, the more I hear of this, the more I think it could we see this tying back to the first movie and may even see the return of Stu Macher, played by Mathew Lillard… after all, it sounds like this time the killer has a personal vendetta for Sid and her family, so it has to be a real deep cut reason. Could this be the original plan Williamson had for the Scream series finally coming to fruition? He did originally have a plan to bring Stu back, so it’s possible that Williamson is going to draw on his full original vision for the series now that he’s back in the series in a big way.

He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
