Courtney Cox Isn't Signed On For Scream 7...Yet

As a die-hard fan of the Scream franchise who’s been following its twists and turns since 1996, I must say it’s a rollercoaster ride that keeps me on my toes! Courtney Cox, the iconic Gale Weathers herself, seems to be playing coy about her return for Scream 7. But fear not, fans, as she’s keeping a close eye on the script and is excited about the return of Kevin Williamson.


Courtney Cox has appeared in every Scream film since 1996, making her the only actress to do so. Contrary to earlier reports that suggested she had agreed to return as Gale Weathers for Scream 7 back in March, there’s no confirmation yet that she will reprise her role in the upcoming sequel. So far, it appears that Courtney Cox isn’t rushing to make a decision about this.

According to Variety, Cox stated that she hasn’t officially committed to the project yet, but there will indeed be a Scream 7. She also shared that she doesn’t have a specific timeline for making her decision, but she is staying updated about the script’s developments. Cox further explained that the script is constantly being revised, so she remains informed about its progress.

Moreover, Cox showed her excitement towards director Kevin Williamson, who was initially responsible for scripting the series and has now officially joined the team for Scream 7. As she stated, “There couldn’t be a better selection than this.” She added, “It promises to be an entertaining experience.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got some exciting news! So far, it seems like only Neve Campbell, who played the iconic Sydney Prescott, has confirmed her return for Scream 7. Interestingly, she was hesitant to appear in Scream 6 due to a salary disagreement. But if you ask me, I’d be thrilled if Courtney Cox managed to bring her ex-husband, David Arquette, back to reprise his role as Dewey Riley. After all, even though he met his on-screen demise in the fifth movie, who knows what twists and turns the Scream series might have in store for us!

Cox expressed his understanding as to why they decided to eliminate Dewey, yet he couldn’t help but exclaim, ‘What a misstep!’ Given the affection that Scream enthusiasts hold for Dewey, they must find a way to reconcile this.

Originally, I was thrilled to learn that Scream 7 would center around Melissa Barerra and Jenna Ortega as the Carpenter sisters, Sam and Tara. Unfortunately, Barerra’s dismissal from the movie was due to her social media comments regarding the conflict in Gaza, while Ortega decided against reprising her role for the sequel due to scheduling conflicts with her show Wednesday Season 2. After their departures, I couldn’t believe my luck when Campbell and Williamson were invited back for the next installment!

Scream 7 doesn’t currently have a release date.
