Kevin Williamson Confirms Official Filming Start of ‘Scream 7’
Kevin Williamson, who wrote the original Scream film, has confirmed that filming for Scream 7 started on January 7, 2025. He shared this news on his official Instagram account.
This marks Williamson’s return to the director’s chair for the Scream franchise. He previously wrote the first four films but has not written one since Scream 4 in 2011.
The movie has been plagued with various casting and production issues, which is why this confirmation is definitely great news. Filming is taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, under the working title ‘Scar Tissue.’ The production is scheduled to continue until March 12, 2025.
Neve Campbell will return as Sidney Prescott after sitting out ‘Scream 6’ over a pay dispute. Isabel May, famous for her roles in ‘Alexa & Katie’ and the ‘Yellowstone’ prequels, is set to play Sidney’s daughter. Courteney Cox is also expected to reprise her role as Gale Weathers.
However, Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega will not reprise their roles as Sam and Tara Carpenter.
Scream 7 is set to hit theaters on February 27, 2026. Have something to add? Let us know in the comments below!
