\n\tFor nearly three decades, the Scream franchise has seen iconic final girl Sidney Prescott (played by Neve Campbell) outlive the numerous killers that hide behind Ghostface\u2019s mask while attacking Sidney, her friends and anyone else who gets in the way.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe original Scream<\/a> movie debuted in 1996 and was directed by the late Wes Craven, as were its sequels through 2011\u2019s Scream 4<\/a>. Seven years after Craven died in 2015, the slasher franchise was revived in 2022 with Scream<\/a>, directed by Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin. That film honored Craven and saw the return of Campbell, along with original franchise stars Courteney Cox and David Arquette. However, Campbell was absent from the most recent sequel, 2023\u2019s Scream VI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso missing from the franchise\u2019s future are Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera, who led the two revival films. They were both set to star in Scream 7 until Barrera was fired in November 2023 due to her social media posts<\/a> about the Israel-Hamas war. Shortly after being let go, Ortega also exited the project<\/a> \u2014 but voluntarily.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince the franchise was revamped three years ago, the new Ghostface killers have only gotten more violent. But in Ashley Cullins\u2019 Scream tell-all book, Your Favorite Scary Movie: How the Scream Films Rewrote the Rules of Horror, Scream 7\u2018s director, Kevin Williamson, revealed that with Campbell coming back, she wanted less gore. \u201cNeve wants to go back to the first one and find the suspense and really concentrate on scary and not bloody,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut with Scream 7 on the horizon, it\u2019s safe to expect betrayals and key characters returning to the franchise as it prepares to make a killer return next year.<\/p>\n
