Writer of Scream 7 Reveals Specific Reason Behind Sidney's Presence in the Film, Sparking User Speculations
The horror genre continues to excel, with the long-awaited 'Scream 7' adding fuel to the fire for devoted fans. The upcoming film, set to release in 2026, heralds the return of Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, last seen in 'Scream VI'. In a recent interview with ComicBook, writer Guy Busick hinted at a strategic plan for Sidney's re-entry in the narrative.
Details about 'Scream 7' remain scarce, but fans are eager to see Sidney back in action after Campbell's absence from the previous installment. The question remains: what event will prompt Sidney to once again face Ghostface? In an interview with ComicBook, Busick offered a tantalizingly cryptic response.
It's plausible that a significant event involving a 'Scream' legacy character could serve as the catalyst for Sidney's return. A family member's death or impending danger might compel the screen queen to don her protective armor once more. Busick suggested that the opening kill could play a crucial role in the narrative, though he stopped short of revealing specifics.
One theory is that the death of Sidney's husband, Mark, could be the trigger. Alternatively, the passing of Martha Meeks, portrayed by Heather Matarazzo in 2022's 'Scream', might also prompt Sidney's comeback, particularly if it results in a reunion with her children Chad and Mindy Meeks-Martin, confirmed to appear in the next film.
With Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega confirmed not to return, the original 'Scream' quartet, known as 'Scream's Core Four', will be fractured. Though only one-half of the quartet will appear in the slasher film,expectations are high for the seventh installment, which appears set to center around Campbell's Sidney once more, following a reworking of the script after the casting shakeup.
The full story of 'Scream 7' awaits fans, with the film slated for release on February 27, 2026. Until then, eager viewers can catch up on the latest 'Scream' movies on Paramount+, available through its Essential and Premium plans.
The upcoming interview with ComicBook delves deeper into Sidney's return in 'Scream 7', offering glimpses into a possible narrative that involves a family member's death or impending danger. In the daily blend of entertainment news, it's also worth noting that interested viewers can catch up on the ‘Scream’ movies, streaming on Paramount+.
