Overview
- Ulrich told the New York Post he is not involved in Scream 7, noting his planned three‑film Billy Loomis arc depended on Melissa Barrera’s character.
- Barrera was dropped by Spyglass over her social‑media posts about the Israel–Hamas war, and the previous version of the film with director Christopher Landon and star Jenna Ortega was abandoned.
- The reset Scream 7 is directed by franchise creator Kevin Williamson and brings back Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette, with Isabel May among new additions for a Feb. 27, 2026 release.
- Matthew Lillard says Williamson personally asked him to return as Stu Macher, and Lillard’s voice appears as the tag in the official trailer.
- An official synopsis positions the story around Sidney Prescott protecting her daughter from a new Ghostface, while Lillard has not disclosed how Stu factors in.
