"Oh, I'm not hiding, Sydney. Not this time..." Paramount Pictures has unleashed the first official trailer for Scream 7, the latest horror sequel in this beloved franchise that seems to have a life of its own. The iconic Ghostface is back, as always! Scream VII brings back the original creator and writer of the whole franchise, Kevin Williamson, who not only co-wrote but is also directing this thrilling installment. Set for release in February 2026, this trailer is dropping just in time for Halloween, teasing, "I’m gonna burn it all down."
As a new Ghostface killer emerges in the tranquil town where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter (Isabel May) becomes the next target. Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.
