The involvement of franchise mainstay Courteney Cox has been expected but unconfirmed for Scream 7 up to this point, but Variety reports tonight that she has officially signed on.
Courteney Cox has of course played iconic character Gale Weathers in the previous six films in the Scream franchise, who just barely survived the events of Scream VI back in 2023.
Cox joins a cast that’s being led by fellow franchise icon Neve Campbell, who will be returning to the franchise as Sidney Prescott after sitting out the previous film in the saga.
The announced cast for Scream 7 thus far also includes Mason Gooding as returning character Chad Meeks-Martin plus fresh franchise faces Celeste O’Connor (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire), Sam Rechner (The Fabelmans), Asa Germann (“The Boys”), Anna Camp (“Hysteria!) and Isabel May (“1883”).
One thing we do know is that Isabel May is playing Sidney Prescott’s daughter, with the upcoming sequel expected to largely bring the focus back onto Sidney and her family.
The seventh installment will slash into theaters on February 27, 2026.
Original Scream writer Kevin Williamson will direct Scream 7.
