Scream 7: Everything we know about the release date, cast and plot rumours

7 is a lucky number for some, but it’s unlikely to be for the characters of Scream 7 when the hit horror franchise returns for another outing of slasher-filled antics.

Following on from the success of 2021’s ‘requel’ Scream and 2022’s Scream VI, the gang are set to return to be scared all over again in the franchise’s seventh installation. 

While some of the finer details remain strictly under wraps, viewers already have a picture of what might be to come from the next iteration of Ghostface.

After successfully rebooting the franchise, Scream (2022) and Scream 6 directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will not be returning for the next instalment, even though each showed public interest in continuing on. 

In their place, Christopher Landon is set to be the Scream 7 director, having already proved his horror-comedy credentials with the films Freaky and Happy Death Day. 

Here is everything you need to know about Scream 7.

*Who is in the cast of Scream 7?*

Though none of the cast is officially confirmed yet, the ending of Scream VI points heavily to the “core four” returning to our screens once more.

Sam (Melissa Barrera), Chad (Mason Gooding), Tara (Jenna Ortega), and Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) make up this quartet and are likely to be in perfect health (despite suffering some seriously heavy injuries during Scream VI) as they’re put in the path of Ghostface once again.

Scream legend Gale (Courtney Cox) also survived yet another instalment in Scream 6, and with the departures of Dewey (David Arquette) and Sidney (Neve Campbell) from the series, it’s likely that producers will be keen for the last remaining ‘original’ to return.
