Neve Campbell, the original Scream franchise’s iconic final girl, is set to reprise her role as Sidney Prescott in the upcoming Scream 7. The actress made the exciting announcement on Instagram, expressing her happiness about returning to the beloved horror series.
Campbell’s return to the franchise comes after her absence from Scream 6, where she cited financial concerns as the reason for not participating. However, the circumstances seem to have changed, and Campbell emphasized that she was asked to return in a “respectful way” to bring Sidney back to the screen.
In 2022, Campbell stated that the offered amount for Scream 6 did not align with the value she brought to the franchise. This decision garnered significant support from fans who appreciated her advocating for fair compensation, especially given Sidney Prescott’s central role in the Scream storyline.
While the details of the financial arrangement for Scream 7 remain undisclosed, Campbell expressed her excitement about collaborating with original Scream writer Kevin Williamson, who will be directing the new installment. Fans are thrilled about Sidney Prescott’s return, but the announcement comes amid disappointment from some fans after the controversial firing of Melissa Barrera, the planned lead for Scream 7, due to her comments on the Israel-Gaza conflict.
