Scream 7 Trailer Brings Back Neve Campbell, Sets February 2026 Release

The preview has revived boycott calls tied to Melissa Barrera’s 2023 firing.

Overview

  • The first full look confirms Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott returns, with the film dated for February 27, 2026.
  • Coverage of the trailer highlights a Sidney-led plot that introduces her daughter, with Isabel May among new cast additions alongside Courteney Cox.
  • The sequel was reworked after Barrera’s removal, followed by Jenna Ortega and director Christopher Landon exiting, with original writer Kevin Williamson now directing.
  • Initial reaction skews tepid to negative, and organized calls to skip the movie include a campaign backed by the BDS Movement and more than 22 groups.
  • Fan sleuthing around a blue plaid skirt seen in the footage has prompted unconfirmed speculation about the new Ghostface’s identity.
