We know for certain that the upcoming Scream 7 will center on the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, but will Courteney Cox also be returning to the franchise?
We had heard back in March that Cox was in talks to join the cast of Scream 7, but the actress reveals in a new update this week that she hasn’t officially signed on at this time.
“I’m not officially signed on,” Cox tells Variety. “I’m not, but there will be a Scream 7.”
Courteney Cox adds in the same chat, “They’re rewriting all the time,” suggesting that her character’s involvement is unclear and up in the air at the moment. Stay tuned for more.
Cox’s Gale Weathers has been part of the franchise since the very beginning, with Cox starring in every single installment in the franchise to date. While Dewey Riley was killed off in the fifth installment, Gale just keeps on surviving, most recently beating the odds in Scream VI. How many more massacres can Gale manage to survive? Is her number finally coming up?
The franchise has been mired in controversy in the past several months, with new series leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega both exiting the project. Barrera was fired, while it was subsequently announced that Ortega wouldn’t be returning. At this time, we still don’t know if Jasmin Savoy Brown or Mason Gooding will be returning for Scream 7.
Original Scream scribe Kevin Williamson will direct Scream 7. The film, which is currently untitled, was written by Guy Busick from a story by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick.
