It’s official— Neve Campbell is back for Scream 7 . While fans have long speculated on whether the actress would return for the franchise’s upcoming seventh installment to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott , the answer is finally here, as the star took to her social media account to share the news. Campbell appeared as the slasher’s final girl for the first five installments before stepping back from Scream VI due to payment discrepancies.
When Scream 7 began to get the ball rolling, the franchise’s creator and scribe, Kevin Williamson, urged the production team to “pay her the money” that she was asking for in hopes of reeling her back into the world of Ghostface and Woodsboro. News came in January that Campbell would be open to shooting a seventh film should a "respectful offer" be made. Campbell is also joined by Williamson, who is returning to direct Scream 7. Because of the firing of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega’s decision to step down due to scheduling conflicts with Season 2 of Wednesday, Scream 7 has hit some big road bumps
