1883 actress Isabel May will play the daughter of Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott in Spyglass Media Group’s upcoming Scream 7. The deal is finalized.
The American actress is best known for starring as Katie Cooper on the Netflix series Alexa & Katie and had a recurring role as Veronica Duncan on the CBS series Young Sheldon. She held the lead role of Zoe Hull in the film Run Hide Fight. She is the narrator and leading protagonist of the Paramount+ series 1883.
The new Scream movie will include original cast members like Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers. However, Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera, who starred in the previous two films, won’t be in this one.
Ortega dropped out due to her busy schedule, including work on Wednesday and other projects. Barrera was let go last year following controversy over her social media posts about the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Paramount is set to release the seventh Scream movie, just like the last two. It’s scheduled to hit theaters on February 27, 2026. Kevin Williamson, who created the franchise and wrote the original 1996 film directed by Wes Craven, is directing this one. The screenplay is written by Guy Busick, who also worked on 2022’s Scream and Scream VI. The producers are James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, and Paul Neinstein from Project X Entertainment.
Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), Scream (2022), and Scream VI (2023) received high praise from critics. Scream 3 (2000) received a more mixed response, as did Scream 4 (2011), Craven’s final film; both were later reappraised and the fourth film was generally seen as a return to form for the series.
Commercially, the first three films and the fifth and sixth were high performers at the box office, while Scream 4 had a disappointing domestic run. The film series has also been the recipient of several awards and nominations, including winning Best Movie twice at the MTV Awards (for Scream in 1996 and Scream VI in 2023).
