Ghostface has returned for yet another killing spree Scream 6 and this time he’s in the Big Apple. In the latest episode, the masked killer returns with multiple identities to pursue the four survivors of Scream 5. Scream 6 opened to the series’ best weekend box office to date, taking in a record $44 million in its first few days.
With such success, it seems a given that another Scream movie is on the way, but a new entry in the series hasn’t been officially announced. With that in mind, here’s everything we know about what Scream 7 could look like, including what the Scream 6 management team says:
(Ed. remark: This story contains spoilers for Scream 6.)
Will there be a Scream 7?
Probably, but it’s not confirmed. While a new slasher sequel is always likely, and doubly likely when the current iteration opens as strong at the box office as Scream 6 did, Paramount still hasn’t made an official announcement about the next installment of the franchise.
When is Scream 7 coming out?
If Scream 7 is really on its way, and if it’s coming from the Radio Silence team that directed the last two, then it’ll probably be a bit longer than the ridiculously fast 14 months between Scream 5 And 6. Speaking to Polygon, co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett said they wanted more time if they had a Scream 7. “I don’t know if we could have pulled this off if it wasn’t with the same group of people (that made Scream 5),” Gillette said.
Will Jenna Ortega be in Scream 7?
Probably! Considering that she survives the attack of assassins Scream 7and being the biggest star on the series right now, it seems pretty likely that Jenna Ortega will return for Scream 7.
Who else will be in Scream 7?
The “Core Four” seem guaranteed to return for another Scream sequel if it’s released, but the rest of the cast is a little more up in the air. Courtney Cox’s reporter character Gale Weathers also survived this film, meaning she could be back for another entry in the franchise. Meanwhile, Neve Campbell, who plays Sidney Prescott, the star of the franchise, skipped Scream 6 due to apparent contract disagreement, but it’s possible she may also return in the future.
