Scream 7 has a “really specific” reason to bring back Sidney
Scream 7 has a “really specific” reason to bring back Sidney Prescott.
In the sixth movie, actress Neve Campbell chose not to reprise her role because of a disagreement over payment, resulting in the storyline shifting from Woodsboro to New York.
Following Melissa Barrera’s exit from the movie and Jenna Ortega choosing not to reprise her role in support, it was announced that Campbell would be returning.

Guy Busick, in an interview with ComicBook.com for the promotion of Final Destination: Bloodlines, shared that he prefers not to disclose the intriguing motive behind Scream 7 necessitating a focus on Sidney, as it holds a fascinating explanation.
In each of these films, you might wonder, “Why is this happening? What social or cinematic topic is ‘Scream’ addressing today?” The movie ‘Scream’ consistently engages with its audience about the current trends in films, the evolution of horror movies, and specifically, film franchises.
He went on to explain, “Sidney’s presence in the film isn’t just by chance; we had a definite purpose for including him. We were delighted with our idea once we figured it out.
In a visit to Neve Campbell, we explained, “Here’s the reason. This is now Sidney.” Upon hearing this, Neve understood immediately. I initially presented the concept to Kevin Williamson, who grasped it, and then I pitched it to the studio as well. The story for Scream 5 and 6 was developed with my co-writer James Vanderbilt.
In Scream VI, it was disclosed that Sidney relocated to a secure location following the incidents in the fifth installment, yet Busick remains tight-lipped about the specifics of her new location and whether the upcoming movie will be set there.
He didn’t say it would occur in New York, but instead, he mentioned that the story unfolds approximately two years after the previous movie.
Scream 7 will also bring back Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers and David Arquette as Dewey Riley.
Actor Joel McHale from the community joins the series in the role of Sidney’s spouse named Mark. On the other hand, Sarah Michelle Gellar, known for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has expressed interest in a return, even though her character is deceased.
Scream 7 is currently scheduled for release on February 27, 2026.
