SCREAM 7 (2026)

Well… that happened. Originally conceived for Happy Death Day and Freaky director Christopher Landon, Scream 7 was going to feature new franchise stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega as the returning Carpenter Sisters… until all of that was thrown out the window. Now, Scream 7 has been reconceived by original franchise writer Kevin Williamson in the vacated director’s chair and original franchise star Neve Campbell back as Sydney Prescott. The result is a film that has the worst reviews in the franchise’s history, while having its biggest opening weekend box office ever. A mixed bag? Or something worse? Find out on FRANCHISOGRAPHY.
