‘Scream 7’ Filming Begins, Director Kevin Williamson Announces

After a long road in development hell, filming officially started today on Scream 7, as announced by director and franchise creator Kevin Williamson on social  media this evening, where he remembered legendary director Wes Craven.

Posting on Instagram tonight, Williamson writes, “I’m not supposed to post about Scream and I hope Spyglass and Paramount will forgive me but when you have one of the best days of your life it’s really hard to keep it to yourself. What an extraordinary day I had working with an amazing and talented cast and crew. They brought their “A” game and had my back every step of the way. I’m so very grateful for this opportunity and to Wes Craven who was on my mind through it all. The profound impact he has had on my life and career is endless. What a day! I can’t wait for tomorrow!”

The new Ghostface sequel brings back Neve Campbell reprising her role as Sydney Prescott, as well as Courteney Cox as Gail Weathers, and Mason Gooding as Chad Meeks-Martin, along with new blood Isobel May as Sydney’s daughter, Celeste O’Connor (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire), Sam Rechner (The Fabelmans), Asa Germann (The Boys), and Anna Camp (Hysteria, True Blood).

Scream 7 will be released in theaters on February 27, 2026.
