📖 STORYLINE

Following the bloody events of Scream 5 and Scream 6, Scream 7 introduces an entirely new chapter in the deadly cat-and-mouse game between survivors and Ghostface — the ever-reviving killer behind the mask.

Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) — the heart and soul of the franchise — is forced back into the fight when a fresh wave of brutal murders shakes the nation, challenging everything she thought she knew about Ghostface.

Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox) once again faces the terrors of her past, while the new generation of survivors — Chad Meeks-Martin (Mason Gooding) and Mindy Meeks-Martin (Jasmin Savoy Brown) — step into the frontline.

In the most shocking twist: the unexpected return of characters believed to be dead — Stu Macher (Matthew Lillard) and Dewey Riley (David Arquette).
Were they ever truly gone? Or has everything been a carefully orchestrated deception all along?
