THR ranks all seven Scream films from worst to best (the TV series is listed as unranked), placing Scream 2 first, then the 1996 original, Scream 4, Scream (2022), Scream 7, Scream VI, and Scream 3 last, while framing each entry as a meta-commentary on the franchise’s evolution and the horror genre, including Neve Campbell’s return in 7 and the series’ shift toward IP nostalgia.
Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott in a Scream 7 that aims for a back-to-basics, analog slasher vibe under Kevin Williamson, but the result is a largely conventional, not very scary entry that leans on nostalgia rather than fresh suspense. While there are occasional standout moments and performances, the meta-commentary that once defined the series feels worn thin and the film ultimately reads as basic rather than daring.
Isabel May has been cast as the daughter of Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell, in the upcoming film 'Scream 7' by Spyglass Media Group. The film, set to release on February 27, 2026, will be directed by Kevin Williamson, the original creator of the Scream franchise. While original cast members like Courteney Cox will return, Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera will not be part of this installment due to scheduling conflicts and social media controversies, respectively.
