Neve Campbell returns in the ‘Scream 7‘ trailer as Ghostface targets her daughter, lets take a look at the tug of war between legacy and vengeance.
Sidney Prescott is back, and the new ‘Scream 7’ trailer promises a savage, personal return to the franchise’s razor edge. The official teaser, dropped by Paramount alongside a fiery tagline, “I’m gonna burn it all down.” It throws Sidney into a nightmare where a fresh Ghostface stalks the quiet town and targets her daughter, amping the stakes beyond the usual whodunnit.

The trailer leans hard into practical terror, shots of familiar faces, abrupt cuts, and the franchise’s signature creaking dread. Neve Campbell’s Sidney looks warier, older, and angrier, there’s an undercurrent here that this isn’t a cash grab call back either. Courteney Cox returns as Gale, grounding the craziness with that blunt, newsroom edge fans expect.
Paramount is scheduling the film for February 27, 2026, a date that positions ‘Scream 7’ for early year horror dominance and awards season whispering if it surprises. The marketing states Sidney’s daughter, played by Isabel May, becoming the next target, forcing the original final girl into protector mode and dragging her back through scars she’d hoped were closed.
What makes the trailer land is its mix of legacy and new blood. The Core Four’s echoes are everywhere, but Williamson’s turn behind the camera hints at a creative gambit, leaning into the original writer’s instincts while stitching in modern shocks. It’s very much looking like we can expect call backs, meta slasher riffs, and a few kills that will get fans arguing online for days.

Marco Beltrami reportedly returns to score, promising that the soundtrack will tie the new threats to the franchise’s mournful motifs. Fans should watch for bold set piece kills and a deeply personal final act.
Tone wise, the trailer smells like smoke and old wounds, Sidney’s fight is personal, not just procedural. If the film follows through, ‘Scream 7’ could be the rare franchise entry that honours its roots while asking what revenge does to the person who carries it. For now, the trailer does more than its job, it bites, it burns, and it leaves you wanting to know who straps the knife on next.
