Skeet Ulrich Says He’s Out of Scream 7 as Kevin Williamson’s Reboot Advances

Ulrich links his exit to the earlier Melissa Barrera-led plan being scrapped after her removal, clearing the way for a redeveloped installment under a new creative approach.

Overview

  • Skeet Ulrich confirmed in a New York Post interview that he is not involved in Scream 7.
  • He said he had been part of a planned three-film arc tied to Melissa Barrera’s character, which unraveled after Spyglass removed her over her social media posts, with Jenna Ortega later departing as well.
  • The new iteration is directed by franchise creator Kevin Williamson and features returning series veterans including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Scott Foley.
  • Matthew Lillard is reported to return, with Ulrich saying he does not know how the character will be used in the story.
  • The studio has set Scream 7 for theatrical release on February 27, 2026, as Ulrich promotes his role opposite Lillard in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.
