Courteney Cox Officially Set to Return for SCREAM 7 — GeekTyrant

Courteney Cox has officially closed her deal to return for Scream 7, and she will reprise her role as Gale Weathers.

She will reunite with franchise star Neve Campbell, who will be reprising her role as Sidney Prescott, as well as new cast members Isabel May, Mckenna Grace, Celeste O’Connor and Asa Germann. Patrick Dempsey might also be returning.

It’s said that the next chapter of Scream will involve a “big time jump” following the events of the last movie. This is so that Sidney’s children have grown to an appropriate slasher movie age.

It was also previously reported that Scream 7 “will have two main storylines, one about Sid and her friends from the neighborhood, and the second one about Sid’s teen daughter Taylor (could be a codename) and her friends. Each of them will have to deal with Ghostface.”

Sid and Gale will reportedly find themselves facing off with some kind of Ghostface cult. Courteney Cox will return as Gale Weathers, and Patrick Dempsey as Detective Mark Kincaid.

Scream creator and writer Kevin Williamson is set to direct Scream VII and Guy Busick, writer of 2022’s Scream and Scream VI, is penning the screenplay.

Scream 7 will release theatrically worldwide on February 27, 2026.
