Overview
- Ulrich said he is not involved in Scream 7, explaining his previously planned three-film arc tied to Melissa Barrera’s character ended after her removal.
- He told the New York Post he once knew the scrapped story and found it compelling but now has no insight into the film’s direction.
- Spyglass cut Barrera over social-media posts about the Israel-Hamas war, a decision Ulrich says effectively eliminated the narrative device that connected his appearances to her character.
- Kevin Williamson is directing with Neve Campbell, Matthew Lillard, Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Scott Foley among the announced returnees.
- A circulated synopsis says a new Ghostface targets Sidney Prescott’s daughter, with release set for February 27, 2026, as Ulrich and Lillard reunite publicly while promoting Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.
