"Matthew Lillard, renowned for his role as Stu in the 'Scream' franchise, discusses his return in the seventh film, expressing optimism about its impact on the series."
In a thrilling turn of events, the seventh instalment of the iconic Scream franchise is set to terrify audiences once again. The movie, scheduled for release on February 27th, 2026, promises a chilling continuation of the series that has kept fans on the edge of their seats for over two decades.
The last two Scream movies are now streaming on Paramount+, providing a perfect opportunity for newcomers to catch up on the series before the release of Scream 7. For those who have followed the franchise closely, the news of the return of several beloved characters will undoubtedly bring a sense of nostalgia.
Neve Campbell, who played the iconic role of Sidney Prescott, will be back for Scream 7. Her absence in Scream VI did not deter the series, with the NYC setting and brutal Ghostface(s) making the movie a success. The plot twists in Scream VI also contributed significantly to its success.
Joining Campbell is Matthew Lillard, who will reprise his role as Stu Macher. Despite his character's apparent demise in the original series, Lillard's involvement in Scream 7 is explained as a continuation of his character from the first movie. However, details about how Stu Macher will be resurrected in the new movie have yet to be disclosed.
Scott Foley will also return as Roman Bridger, and Kevin Williamson, the writer of the screenplay for the first two Scream movies and a producer on the recent ones, will direct the seventh instalment. In a surprising twist, despite his death in the 2022 Scream movie, David Arquette will also return as Dewey.
The seventh movie in the Scream franchise is one of the most highly anticipated upcoming horror movies. Fans are eager to learn more about how dead characters will factor into the new movie, with more information expected to be revealed soon.
Paramount+ offers an Essential plan for $7.99 a month and a Premium plan for $12.99 a month, providing an affordable way for fans to catch up on the Scream series before the release of Scream 7. With the movie set to be released in 2026, there's plenty of time to get ready for another terrifying chapter in the Scream saga.
