In a recent statement, Alison Brie expresses her concern about the current state of the 'Scream' series, asserting that it has too many participants and advocates for the deaths of the core four characters.
In a recent episode of the "Shut Up Evan" podcast, Alison Brie discussed her potential return for "Scream 7." While no official confirmation has been made regarding Brie's role in the upcoming sequel, the actress did express her interest and proposed a darker approach to the franchise.
Brie, known for her role as Rebecca Walters in "Scream 4," suggested that the tradition of many characters surviving in the current era of the "Scream" series should be reconsidered. She argued that the "core four" characters should die off significantly, implying a more impactful outcome for main characters, including potentially her own.
Brie's proposal hinges less on a specific storyline and more on a call for fewer survivors. This could pave the way for her comeback, given the trend of bringing back previously deceased or presumed dead characters in recent "Scream" movies.
Rebecca Walters met a brutal end in "Scream 4," being stabbed in the abdomen and thrown off a parking garage. However, the new "Scream" rules could potentially reverse her death for "Scream 7."
Joining Brie in expressing interest in reprising their deceased characters are David Arquette, Matthew Lillard, and Scott Foley, along with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Parker Posey. Notable cast members confirmed for "Scream 7" include Courteney Cox, Arquette, Foley, Lillard, Gooding, and Brown, as well as newcomers Isabel May, Celeste O'Connor, Asa Germann, Mckenna Grace, Sam Rechner, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Mark Consuelos, and Ethan Embry.
"Scream 7" is set to hit theaters on Feb. 27, 2026, with Neve Campbell reprising her role as Sidney Prescott. As we eagerly await further details about the sequel, fans can only speculate whether Brie's character, Rebecca Walters, will make a surprising comeback.
